Rating: - The future of rbots... in 1995
I enjoy these 'cult' movies from the 80s. I always saw the movie trailers as a child, but never got to experience it until years later on VHS (which was too expensive to purchas like Electric Dreams from MGM). So I am glad this finally made its way to DVD at an afordable price.
Its also interesting to see this movie set in 1995 (13 years ago in our time), where robots are fully evolved. The story is a fairytale for robots who want to be free and experience human emotions. The 'Crimebuster' reminds me of a Dalek from Dr. Who.
All in all if you enjoy robots, scifi, etc, this movie is for you.

On a positive note , I think the Catskill Robot with Cigar option is the high point of Heartbeeps and for me deliver the few small laughs or giggles in the film.I ... Read More

This movie has so much heart and personality. It's hard to believe that there are so many naysayers against it. I am SO glad it's on DVD, and in anamorphic widescreen at that!
Rating: - painfully boring and inept "comedy"
kaufman is utterly wasted in this film, the few laughs are of course due to his funny vocal inflections but there is nothing else going on in this movie. thank god i rented this movie for only a dollar. rent it if you must but beware
