What a waste of my time!!!

the audience applauded

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The movie had really awesome potential but failed in the end. Over and under acting, and a script that had quite a few flaws. I wanted this movie to be awesome but... I thought this movie was going to be animated after watching the opening scene. It would make some waves if it had been completely animated. The robot movement wasn't horrible and I liked the way they were able to transform to a 4 legged movement with an eye on top of their head. On a side note I was wondering if the bots could track the cell phone signals.I couldn't help but think this was a vehicle to launch a game but have not seen anything on the web concerning such. Several different robots to kill,acquire a code to shut them all down, has all the makings of a great game if done correctly.

You'll love this one. Yes, it's a fun low budget film, and believe me it's not like the low budget films that come out of SyFy channel. The special effects were really pretty good, the acting was a bit cheesy, but I think that was intentional. I came into this with very low expectations (and that's the way you really need to see this), and was impressed with the movie overall. Zoe Naylor gives a great performance (and yes a little cheesy) as Christiane Nouvaue. She's actually believable as a fluff reporter thrown into a world shattering story. The actors playing the other reporters, well I have to say they were stereotypical in modern movies... but then, that's part of the appeal. Though in this one, I really didn't want anyone to die... okay, maybe I did want to see Edward Foy's character Jason Brooks obnoxiousness gone... AS I've stated, if you love "B" movies, that are good (and intentionally good), give this one a try.

Contains plot spoilers The first thing to say is I saw the trailer for this and thought that it looked pretty good in a low budget way. So I rented it and I am glad that I rented this rather than buying it. Also one of the problems with the trailer is that it sells it as a movie where the robots go mad or gain sentience and fight back against their human slave masters. Though as the movie progresses you will understand that this view is misguided as the real resolution of the movie is so mundane.The movie starts as a documentary type of a movie and my first thoughts were oh no this is going to suck. This movie really wants to be district 9. The only things that it lacks are plot, acting, effects and a good budget. It is similar to District 9 in the way it starts as a documentary and then moves to narrative movie in the final third of the movie. There the similarities end as this is a poor excuse for a SF movie.The movie starts with an interview with the creator of the robots. This sets the scene. We have already seen the mayhem in the trailer so I wanted them to get on with the story. Actually this is the best bit of the movie so enjoy it while it lasts. Then it switches to an atrociously animated robot playing football. That it when you know that this movie is going to be one of those turds you see on the syfy channel masquerading as a good SF movie. The robot goes mad and shoots one of the other players. This for me was the ultimate in bone head screen writing. Why would you give a robot that works in an oil refinery or plays football with kids a gun in its hand? It makes no sense whatsoever. The robots then go on the rampage and the TV reporters who are making a live broadcast film it all for the titillation of the viewers. We get treated to a half hour space filler about the robot shooting someone. This is handled so badly that if I had not been watching it with someone else I would have turned it off. So the robos go on the rampage (snore). Then it turns into a bad SF movie where they have to escape from the robos (yawn) until we the viewer are finally treated to a blank screen as we do not know if the heroes are going to escape.Big plot spoiler.The robots do not gain sentience they are just programmed to kill as the person who made them is jealous as he has not got any credit for their use. That is all they could come up with? Wow that stinks as the twist.I think the makers thought that they could mix westworld with district 9 and come up with a good movie. They thought wrong. The acting is below par. The effects are laughable. The script is slow and boring. As with other reviewers I would advise you not to watch this rubbish.

I guess I am not critic enough to slam a movie I haven't even watched like other "reviewers" of this film, so I can tell you I watched all of Robotropolis; not to look for things to gripe about but to take it on its own merits and just have some fun. It's about robots going berserk and killing people - and that is what happens. The CG design and integration into the live action was pretty good, the locations were unusual and interesting, the action kept up a good pace, and it didn't get excessively grisly, though there is some moderately graphic unpleasantness. There were occasional flashes of wit in the dialog and a little inventive camera-work in the chase scenes, but in the end it's a robot rampage movie. Sometimes it's going to be kind of silly. If that's not what you want in a movie, don't watch it. I found it adequately entertaining, it kept my interest and I don't feel I was cheated of my time as I sometimes have with flashier, more expensive movies. Just a decent B movie. Comparisons, they say, are odious and taking it for what it is, not what I think it should have been instead, I think everyone involved did a pretty good job. Some things are just for fun and I liked this fine.
