The first thing that I noticed in the film was the dystopian city. They created a large realistic looking city in the background that helped create the story and the universe. A little bit into the movie they had a very cool looking robot that looked real.

The second very impressive CGI is the Robot. He was a very realistic cool looking robot. He was pretty much in every scene. They probably made him and the dog bot in blender because that really is the best option. You could always MS paint it but to the right you see how that turns out. They probably created multiple parts to create the robot in blender. Then most likely with the use of a mo cap suit animated him and threw him on a real life person.
The mood of the film was hope. The whole premise of the film was fighting against the power. At the beginning the characters were talking about an oppressive government and that these people are living outside the law. They found something that attracts the government and want to use it to bring down the oppression. They use dark and evil looking outfits for the government officials to show that they are the bad people. They use a brighter, but still dark, color for the good guys.
The CGI in this film added to the film and made it amazing. They used it to bring you to this world and show you the effects of the government. If they didn't use it then the movie would have looked cheap and the robot wouldn't have existed. It was a cool looking movie and the CGI didn't take away from it. The creator was able to use CGI to create this elaborate world in the span of a couple minutes..
