To me, this movie is perfection.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Admittedly there are far more (laughable) issues than simply bad dubbing and illogical dialogue, but who knows what was lost when the film was altered for American audiences? The rest is pretty obvious: poor special effects (more like something out of the fifties!); cheap costumes and sets; wooden acting; etc. All of the criticisms listed in these reviews are true! So are the pluses: viewed in the right light, the film is rather humorous. Unfortunately for this reviewer, that was not enough to convince me to watch more than 3/4s of the movie (which was about 4/4s too long!). Fine as background noise, the occasional chuckle (along with unbelieving head shake) and the frequent puzzled look. I do get how fun it could be to watch this with a group of inebriated friends while throwing popcorn at the screen. Not worth watching alone. You COULD watch it with your cat.

You don't need to know what this movie's about. Trust me. It doesn't matter. If you insist on watching it, then you either enjoy utter nonsense and will accept anything, or you're a masochist like me and will sit through every movie in a sci-fi collection just so you can say you did it. But what did I really think of it, you ask? Painful. Very, very painful. I know, bad movies are fun, right? No, sometimes they're just tedious and annoying. Plot, characters, acting, fx, sound, music... if the intention was to create something mind-numbingly bad in every facet of movie- making, then the producers of this piece of...film had a special talent for it. Otherwise, on completion of the movie, everyone associated should have been sterilized to prevent further contamination of the gene pool.

Wow, where do I begin? From the very beginning of this movie I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. We're introduced to the main characters very early on, and the short 30 second scene here is more than enough to make you care about what happens to these characters. The movie wastes no time after this and gets right down to the action, including a brilliant kidnapping scene that sets up the main story.The robots are amazing! Not since Robby the Robot have we seen the likes of these guys! They are amazingly efficient at the start, but once they encounter our heroes, this changes dramatically. Laser gun battles, hand to hand combat with innovative laser-swords and amazing special effects in general will have you at the edge of your seat. The space battles are particularly amazing; we're treated to views of the participants' heads and an occasional bright flash of light while laser noises and the like enhance the suspense.I don't want to give too much away here, as I feel the element of surprise is part of what makes this movie work so well. The combination of revolutionary special effects, remarkable cinematography, and a riveting story that the actors simply took and ran off with make for one of the science fiction blockbusters of the decade!

This is one of the most difficult movies I have labored to get through. I'm not trying to be witty when I say that War of the Robots makes Starcrash look like Revenge of the Sith. The effects are so poorly done that it's a wonder why this was even made. Much to my surprise, this is actually the fourth of five, yes five, of these sci-fi films made with basically the same cast. A group of android aliens kidnap a scientist and his assistant Lois in order to save their race. The androids are a group of thirty year old men dressed in silver jump suits with blond bowl-cut wigs. Antonio Sabato plays Captain John Boyd who leads the mission to recover the Dr. and Lois, whom he is enamored with much to the chagrin of his fellow crew-member Julie. The Julie character is very disturbing due to the abnormally butch haircut given her. Picture a junior high boy with great boobs. Disturbing anyone? By the way, in the future bras are nonexistent.Everything about this film stinks! Characters change allegiances then change back without any explanations whatsoever. The dialogue is about as enthralling as listening to a tax seminar. Even the name of the ship, the Trissi, sucks. I was trying to think of why they used such an odd name for the ship until I saw the ending credits. Yep, Trissi Sport supplied the costumes! The dubbing is horrendous as is most notable in one character that has the worst Texan accent ever. The music soundtrack is absolutely putrid. I've heard songs preprogrammed on an old Casio better than this. The weapons consist of flashlight guns with no lasers. At one point in the film the sound of the gun disappears making the scenes even more absurd. The final duel in space is even worse. At a mind-numbing one hour and thirty nine minutes I was reduced to a shell of my former self. This is truly the gutter of science fiction films. Avoid at all costs!
