Searching via Google is usually more effective than searching via forum's own search function, in my experience.

Well I have seen it and it didn't provoke any thoughts in me except wishing it would end very quickly.

Indeed.
I remember a Hertz rep instructing me to “turn left at the robot”, when picking up a hire car in Johannesburg, and thinking I must be hearings things/delirious after the 10 hour flight!
Wow. You should have been watching Transformers. Ex Machina is brilliant.
Ha ha. Yeah, one of my best mates has family in Joburg. Boss chatting to them about all the weird little differences.

In your opinion, I found it utterly tedious, the sort of film that appeals to a certain demographic of the population.

Surely that applies to any film though. I doubt there is a single film that everyone likes
But Ex Machina does have some hot robots!!
Yeah, and in your opinion it was tedious. In my opinion you should stick to Transformers.

I thought Robots were those people on this forum who think HSTs are the answer to everything? (Joke)
Those are just users!

The demographic featuring more than one braincell per person? Yeah, that's the worst.

Don't think I've seen it, so I guess I don't dislike it.

It's okay I guess, but despite the handful of witty, well-observed jokes (Bill Nighy's Christmas song for example) it's very much a schmaltzy festive cash generator. The world would be no worse off if that film didn't exist.
So, whilst I don't hate it and might even raise a chuckle at it, I wouldn't say I liked it.
Love Actually? was inoffensive. Wouldn't say I actually liked it or would recommend it to anyone.

God no. Love Actually was so sickly sweet I swear I'd turned diabetic by the end.

It’s a chick flick! Jeez man. It’s awful.
A Robot is an archaic term generally taken to mean a radio controlled machine able to move about and perform some useful function normally done by humans.
A Cyborg is a humanoid organism composed partly of Organic and partly Machine parts.
An Android has a humanoid body plan or appearance but is composed of wholly Inorganic parts.
So the CSM 101 Terminator is a Cyborg but the T1000 is an Android.
