It is SUPER DUPER HYPER adorable!!! I was very impressed at how a robot, a supposedly lifeless mechanical set-up can be animated till so human-like, both movements and emotions wise. For example, it could 'feel' embarrassed and subsequently 'act' so. So realistically done... It's superb! And graphics are fantastic!
Strongly encourage all movie lovers to catch this movie... I always liked Pixar movies... fell in love with them the first time I watched Monsters Inc. :)

On a side note, after watching the movie, it really conjured up my comments. I felt the movie, whether intended or not, actually made a good attempt at depicting some of Earthlings' problems as a result of our lifestyle in today's world of technological advance.
Namely a few:
1) The Earthlings in Aixom spent their entire lives slouching in their robotic chairs and were so rotund and fat and cared nothing for their figures , they even had forgotten their legs were meant for walking! That just disturbingly resembled the increasing number of obese people in countries especially like USA and America. =X
2) Remember a lady said, "I don't know we had a swimming pool!" Haha, to me I felt that the movie was trying to express our over indulgence in technological gadgets and gizmos. Yeah, alot of times we spend too much time on iPods, PSPs, mobile phones and Internet etc, so much so that we had forgotten to take a step back and appreciate the surroundings. Sometimes we should just take a break from everything and we'll realise what are the really important things in our lives... i.e. our family, loved ones, our friends, the beautiful nature, blue sky... C'mon everybody, let's just not stress ourselves out from the quickening pace of life; life is not all about earning money. We all live only once! Start organising a gathering for your family or friends now! :)
3) In the show, the Captain could not overwrite the Auto-Pilot's commands. Also, the Earthlings simply adhered orders from their robotic chairs, waking up is waking up and when sleeping time is reached, they had to return to their rooms. HOW SAD!!! I feel that in today's age when we rely alot on technology to help us in everything, we have to be mindful not to in turn be controlled by technology! For example, we should not allow computers or machines manipulate our lives. Don't ever feel handicapped just because you don't have your Nokia with you, or your Internet is just down for a day!
Yup, my one pence worth of after-thoughts. :) OKAY GO CATCH THAT MOVIE NOW!!!
HAHA. =D
