Plot Summary
Daft Punk's Electroma is an odyssey of two robots (played by Peter Hurteau and Michael Reich) who journey across a mythic American landscape of haunting, surreal beauty on a quest to become human. Their symbolic quest, which takes them from endless two lane highways to small idyllic towns to the arid desert, finds Daft Punk once again resisting conformity and developing new ways to highlight their inventive vision. With its breathtaking cinematography, innovative filming techniques, and above all its underlying search for humanity within a dystopian environment, Daft Punk have delivered a film that finds a common thread with their previous work while exploring new horizons as directors of their first feature film.

Human After All
Two robots are locked in the world where they don't belong, even though they look like everyone around them. They try to express their inner human feelings by trying to become human on the outside, but they soon find out that neither nature nor society will accept that. Dejected and confused, the robots venture through the desert, desperately looking for an answer to their frustration as they wander. At the end, they are overwhelmed with emotions to the point of seeking self-destruction, something only human is capable doing. Thus, proving they are "human after all." Electroma is a poetic work of art, combining sadness, happiness, friendship and loneliness, and provoking deep thoughts about what it is that makes us human. Protracted scenes allow the viewer to look for this answer along with the robots as the movie reels off. If you are looking for a film with deep meaning, rather than a hollow, superficial blockbuster, renting this flick will definitely prove to be a dollar well spent.
i wish they had Interstella 5555
this is pretty good but not as good as Interstella 5555
If you are a Fan of Daft Punk, don't be tempted to buy this
Don't get me wrong I respect Daft Punk hugely but this movie is the complete opposite of what I would be thinking. When my friend told me that they were making a movie I thought it was a brilliant idea. I thought it would be something like a story where all of there songs are put together or something like that. In fact it was nowhere near as close as that. I have seen movies like this and usually not a huge fan of them. I do respect the people who finds this movie a masterpiece, but its not the movie you would see if you were a daft punk fan, even though the big two stars of Daft Punk are in the movie. Rather then spending your $9.99 on this movie, spend it on one of their unbelievable albums. Overall, Daft punk is better heard on a CD than a DVD.
