The 28th JCC Cinema session was held on the 30th of August with the movie ROBO-G screened. The movie, done in the genre of comedy, was upbeat and lively and elicited many chuckles and laughs from the audience. This movie tells the story of three engineers who are tasked with sprucing up their robot for an upcoming robot exhibition. However when disaster strikes and their robot completely destroyed, the three engineers despair. With the exhibition looming closer and with no way of fixing the robot in time, the trio decide to put an elderly man in a robot suit.
With famous names amongst the cast list, the film stars Gaku Hamada, Chan Kawai and Jun Kawayama as the three engineers with their good chemistry adding further hilarity to the film. Mickey Curtis and Yuriko Yoshitaka also lend their acting skills as part of the main cast. It is a perfect family film that both kids and adults can enjoy together.
The trio’s hilarious antics and the feel good nature of the film make for such an enjoyable watch. Although the film’s running time is almost two hours, the time seems to pass by quickly as there’s never a dull moment to be found. The film was also well received by our audience members and many mentioned that they would like to buy the DVD as they had enjoyed the film so much.
