Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but middling reviews (58% on Rotten Tomatoes) held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and anyone who's wondered what makes us human. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. A good follow-up to Bumblebee or Pacific Rim. Underneath the tech, it's asking what being human really means.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 2 hr 29 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

An ornithologist who commits suicide returns as fifth force to wreack vengeance on mankind for harming birds with mobile phone radiation. The only thing that is standing in his way is 2.0, the upgraded version of Chitti, the robot.
