I second that and that is probably the biggest obstacle I had keeping me from fully enjoying the movie.
But I did love the 3D (although everyone got a strange makeover in one way or another) and the moments of cuteness sprinkled throughout the film (instant "aww" when I saw Dr Tenma carrying Astro away after booting him up).
The soundtrack wasn't memorable (I wanted a solid heroic theme for Astro) and the voice choices were iffy (I never like it when studios pick big name stars).
I also feel that there were opportunities missed. For example, they could have Atlas instead of the Peacekeeper and there was no Astro Girl. Granted, if they were to add Altas and Astro Girl, the movie would have been longer. I can see how the story of Atlas could have taken a good chunk of time to fully understand his character. I also found that the message of 'equal rights for robots' kinda weak in the movie. Other than Astro, Orrin, and probably Zog, none of the robots really showed any positive or thoughtful emotions. The R.R.F. was driven by anger (though in a comedic light) and the cleaning robots 'helped' only because of the Laws of Robotics. They could have had the junk robots laminate how they long to be useful again or unfair that humans can make things with emotions and then throw them away like trash. But opted to make them just mindless zombies stuck in what they were programed to do.
I actually loved the last minute of the movie. I wanted Astro to fight something outrageous such as aliens as he usually does in the older cartoons. I sorta, partly got my wish. ^^
I know I can say more about how I liked and disliked the movie, but at the moment, I'm blank. I'll probably watch it a third time next week or so. ^^;
