Yes, you were mostly routing for the insane robots from the cyber-asylum, and only tangentially for the humans because they are us (and they were not presented unsympathetically) in a situation (return to Earth after exile) we were naturally routing for as Earthlings.

As such, I didn't mind that the humans (other than the captain) were cyphers ... and appreciated that a story from the robots' point of view would have the robots be the main heroes ... and the main villains.


I don't even have a problem with the black plot holes of deep space. Artificial gravity probably takes a lot of energy. So they don't have full earth gravity, they have, perhaps, moon-level gravity. And the gravity generator can have issues, so when the ship goes off kilter at a time when the grav is having issues for drama sake (just as all good SciFi technology does), the humans fall Poseidon-Adventure style to one edge of the giant cruise ship.

Yeah, they don't get hurt from the pile-up. D'uh, they're marshmallow people with no skeletons.



Oh, and they're cartoons.
