ok so first off amazing movie i really really liked it, but the end made NO logical seance at all, so lead robot (the first ever made) with the data chip with NO parameters was shot and his what i must assume A VERY VALUABLE chip to the robots put in a pocket, second robot fell to the canyon floor and cyo (sex robot) was just damaged so we have three FREE robots the first of there kind to start the next (life) or how you define it in the movie for the human planet, bang bang shoot out ect ect, now this is the part that dose not make seance

he sends 1 lone robot and its strange..other robot thing, that we are told in a very short dialogue it has the ability to breed..or was it breath alone across to the other side.

1, why did she not recover the very valuable first of its kind data-chip form the first robot

2. repair him (if a clocksmith can repair a damaged brain chip i am sure she can.

3 locate the second robot that fell and repair him.

4. ok so we know they are going to a radiation place thing w/e but..well how is that practical, they have no robot parts to salvage, no other robots to free to use for parts , no means of parts for technology (and from that thing they built it plays a big part for them creating life and advances ??

i hope im just some idiot who has missed things because it was an AMAZING movie but the end really messed it up for me

To add further confusion when the big boss is telling the enforcer and lesser boss about the first robot, he has the original chip in a box. He opens this box and waves the chip around whilst talking before returning it to the box. So, how is the original robot in fact out in the desert....

It just happened. Evolution and such. As for the OP, yeah I'm not sure exactly how it would work out for ol' Cleo. I never had any dialogue at the end explaining any of that though.

No one ever said the first intelligent robot ever was the one in the desert. Old man said they didn't even put the unrestricted chip into a robot. It just talked and stuff, didn't walk around.

The first /of the modified robots/ was a different 'first' and it "just happened" as the bot explained. No one modified him AND he wasn't born that way. He changed one day.

There was two "original" bots. And in each case the the word "original" had different meanings.

Original Bot #1 was the real deal. The true first of his kind. That was the bot that was built as a prototype without limits. The bot that was instructed to create the programming with limits that all future bots would be built it.

Original Bot #2 was the "clocksmith" that everyone assumed was a Human. This robot started out with the rules built into it just like all the others, but through some kind of glitch or malfunction the second rule of "don't self-adjust" was not present in it. This robot told Banderas' character that he was the first because as far as it was aware, it thought there was no free AI before it.

So no, there are no errors in the plotline, but rather it can become confusing because the characters within the movie itself don't have the knowledge that we, the viewer, have.

I'd even go so far to say that the Original #1 implemented some sort of evolution into the programming, like a random number getting calculated upon the first boot and if it's a specific one, rule #2 is removed. Or something similar.

It is said that humans never saw the "source code" of the programming. It was made by Original #1.

I heard breathe. It breathes like you.

My interpretation:

1 - they are robots with a very high IQ that is still evolving. They would only get better.

2 - The roach robot created was designed by them to suit their life in the desert [it's logical afterall, there are some lines and images stating only bugs survive the desert].

3 - Cleo [the sex bot] also says that she now knows why there is no rain but she can't explain it to Jacq 'cause he wouldn't understand it; which sugests they also now have the knowledge on how to repair it.

4 - they seem quite fine with living in the radiated desert where no one would follow them and they could live in peace.

The only part that made no sense was the reveal of the Clocksmith Robot.
But then again, "Life makes it's way even here" is the moto to keep in mind. It states that the AI uprise that once had happened in the past, was sure to happen again.

I think what Cleo was alluding to was that the "rain change" was caused by the use of nuclear weapons.

The solar flare story may have been embellished or outright made up for the later generations.

It's not like it's all just a vast desert out there. There has to be ruins of civilization and with that there would be material to build other robots. Also the further out Cleo goes the chances of any humans going after it and messing with the robots would be very slim to zero because of the radiation.

As you can see the robots aren't exactly flexible and are not able to move like us so climbing down to the other robot or climbing back up would be almost impossible. That also explains not recovering the chip and since Cleo was enhanced by the first robot then its chip is now similar to the one that enhanced it.

I thought this was going to be about THE END, not 10 minutes before the end. I was confused how they could have driven to the ocean so quickly unless he's dying and/or hallucinating about it.

[–] dingydong (2) 7 years ago

I interpreted it as his hallucination as he was dying.

When the cockroach bot is first activated the robots go into a sort of seance with cables connecting all of them together. I'd assume the purpose was to download and synchronize the contents of their biokernels. They all would have backups of the others. The loss of two robots should be a non-issue though ideally you'd keep the one up on the platform for spare parts.
