The Routine

About This Movie

So, 'The Routine' is an intriguing dive into the human condition through the lens of Sci-Fi. You got this robot, Symon with a Y, who’s longing for human experiences, while a human is craving the precision of robotic existence. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but that odd rhythm adds to its charm. It explores themes of identity and the absurdities of daily life, wrapped in a quirky atmosphere. The practical effects have this raw quality that heightens the contrast between the mechanical and the organic. Performances are a mixed bag, but they carry a certain honesty that keeps you invested, especially when you see the lengths they go to for their desires. There's a unique vibe here, nearly surreal yet relatable, which sets it apart from typical fare.
