Jeunet jumps on the 'perils of AI/overreliance on technology' train with a household confined for their own protection by their domestic servant robots while an android uprising takes place outside. This being Jeunet, wackiness abounds and while it can't be faulted for visual inventiveness, that used to be accompanied by narrative inventiveness as well. Instead, the plot is quite off the peg. Also beyond that, Bigbug doesn't have much to say about the theme that hasn't already been said more succinctly before. Jeunet on the topic of AI is uncomfortably akin to watching your uncle disco-dance at a wedding.
It's still drolly entertaining enough, provided that you can withstand the level of hyperactivity. The director really does have to rediscover his personal sense of direction, though.
5/10
