Ro-Man, an alien robot who greatly resembles a gorilla in a diving helmet, is sent to earth to destroy all human life. Ro-Man falls in love with one of the last six remaining humans, and struggles to understand how his programming can instruct him to kill her while his heart demands that he can't.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

How can you not love this cheesy monstrosity. It's titles almost make this look like it was made in the 30's with the Little Rascals!I believe it was filmed in the trails above Hollywood where there are many caves and where movies are still filmed to this day.The plot is simple: Ro-Man, an alien that looks remarkably like a gorilla in a diving helmet, (only there appears to be the glimpse of a face in that helmet) has destroyed all but six people on the planet Earth. He spends the entire film trying to finish off these survivors, but complications arise when he falls for the young woman in the group. There is even a bubble machine playing a prominent role.The boy is whiny and you'll want to sock him, but you'll get sucked into this monstrosity. You'll wonder how many clips from other bad movies like BC with Lon Chaney (a Hal Roach production) they can paste into this movie, and why the aliens speak English, or why the leader, who is home somewhere has to wear the helmet. Or even why they want to take over the earth when they have to wear a helmet!It's perfection of bad bad bad movies. I loved it.

Although I give this movie the lowest possible score - because It really and truly Is the worst script and acting of all time - nevertheless It's worth a watch for the laughs. The 'Robot monster' (a man In a Gorilla suit with a diving helmet on his head) announces himself thus - "I am Ro-man from the planet Ro-man" and It's all down hill from there! When Ro-man talks to the Chief Ro-man (on planet Ro-man) we can tell who Is who as the boss holds a wire coat-hanger! Sadly,the director committed suicide within a year or two of the films release, the story being that the criticisms just became too much for him. It'd be pointless to reveal any of the Storyline - not that there's much to say,of course - but If you enjoy a truly, laughably terrible film,then get watching. Oh,and It was voted No.1 In the UK's Channel 4 'Top 10 worst movies of all time' In the late 1980's. Enjoy!

If you like seeing a movie with a monster with a diver helmet and a gorilla's body then you need to seek help.The films starts out with two kids Johnny and Carla on a picnic with there mother and older sister. After a picnic lunch, the family all nap, but Johnny wakes up and goes to explore the cave. There, he falls and lies unconscious for awhile. While unconscious, he dreams of a post- apocalyptic earth in which his family. All live has been eliminated by a robot monster named "Ro-Man" who for some reason has a machine that produces bubbles outside the cave he in. After this and that of Ro-Man killing family members, it turns out to be all a dream by Johnny. This movie in the end goes to the lowest point and just throws it all into the trash compacter. Instead of a dream it might as well be called a nightmare that no one can wake up from. A ultra low-budget film with minimal "special effects" and weak acting and a confusing screenplay proofs that it is one of the worst movie out there.

"Robot Monster" is a wonderful film about a gorilla in a diving helmet who loves bubbles and beautiful women. Oh, and the gorilla is also a ROBOT MONSTER! FROM SPACE! He's killed all but 5 people on planet Earth and is trying to finish the job! And... Well really that's about it. Except that one of the 5 is a beautiful woman and the monster wants to keep her alive for his own purposes, much to the chagrin of his superiors (and her boyfriend who has a severe aversion to wearing shirts).Like most bad movies, a lot of stuff happens that doesn't make any sense and leaves the viewer wondering what they missed; but this gem actually addresses its incongruity in its final plot twist - which is possibly the biggest let-down of the film. While a little drawn-out, "Robot Monster" is a classic example of the beyond-B sci-fi movie genre and often glorious in its awfulness.
