A-Tier: Despite my personal opinion, I can’t help but adore these tropes; they made this movie so much more than I expected it to be.

B-Tier: I’m not usually a fan of these tropes in most movies, but their inclusion in this one was to its benefit.

• Title Drop – Usually cringe-worthy; in this instance, however, the title drop was the funniest part of the movie.
• Grew Beyond Their Programming – Ok, I’m a bit sappy.
• Crippling Overspecialization – Has unparalleled ability to learn and extensive databanks but teaches a goose to do the front crawl like a human person.
• No Kill Like Overkill – From tube arms to railguns real quick.
• But Now I Must Go – A very realistic decision to surrender and return; no power source:  no robot.

C-Tier: I’m neutral toward these tropes.

D-Tier: I usually like these tropes, but this movie did not do them well and suffers for it.

• Nature is Not Nice – Had more realistic prey/predator relationships at the beginning, but they backed out of it halfway through.
• The Power of Love – Where is the love physically kept??? It’s a robot?
• Animal Talk / Translation Convention – We could’ve had more variety in how the animals sounded; there is no difference in grammar despite a broad range of species.

F-Tier: I might appreciate these tropes in other media, but they are so poorly executed in this movie that it does the whole film a massive disservice.

• Spock Speak – They attempt this convention at first, but it is so quickly discarded that it only serves as a mild distraction at best and a nuisance at worst.
