RoboCop (IMAX)

Your favorite Sci-Fi man-machine lawman is back in a reboot featuring more back-story, more politics, and more CGI special effects. Alien liked this more humanized RoboCop version which debates the issue of employing lethal drones for public protection. Swedish unknown, Joel Kinnaman, stars as Alex Murphy/RoboCop with Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Jackie Earle Haley, Abbie Cornish, Jay Baruchel, and Samuel L. Jackson in supporting roles. Fans of the original should be entertained by the differences, but may be a bit disappointed at the non-tagline climax.


Alien gives it 3 ½ "Tin Man" stars out of 4.
