While I admire this picture's environmental message, I like it more for being a touching story of survival in isolation.
Like Tom Hanks in "Cast Away", I found Bruce Dern comforting as a quiet audience surrogate, with robot companions that (like Wilson) earn affection and sympathy despite being silent. Production design here is enchanting. The only misstep is grating songs.
