Let me answer my own question: yes, they do. And yes, people do fall for it.
And while they're at it, they can sneak in some inane moral message like, "Save the planet, recycle/resiklo."
Wow I just lambasted a movie I hadn't even seen. For the sake of being fair, the CG looks very well done.
*switching into Cowell mode*
That does not change the fact that this feels too much like a shameless ripoff of Mechwarrior, transformers, and a handful of other respectable robot titles.
On an off-topic note, what the bloody hell is Bong Revilla doing in a film? I'd imagine the senator has better things to do than dilly-dally in another local waste of celluloid.
They want to save the environment? They can start by saving on film, by not making rubbish like this in the first place! Mein gotten...i'd hate to imagine what else is going to be in this year's Manila Filmfest...Zaido the movie???
