Are you a science and technology geek who loves to watch technological creations such as robotics on the screen? Here is the list of the best 50 robot movies which you enjoy and can enjoy impossible imaginations of the mind, which can be a reality in the near future.

Robotic movies are always received well by people because such movies show a futuristic world and always broaden the boundary of human imagination. These movies may or may not have won awards, but they definitely won the heart of the public.
