Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This short-film from multi-talented director RobSchrab tells the common story of the beautiful daughter of the king (or the President in this scenario) being abducted and taken prisoner by some evil mastermind and now she needs to get saved from our hero. Only difference, the hero here is an orange robot. And it goes on like that, he makes his way through the enemy gates getting attacked by dozens of strange tarry creatures until he finally confronts the villain and gets the girl.I'm not the greatest sci-fi fan, but here and there I give the genre a chance and occasionally even find a movie which amazes me. Sadly, this one doesn't really fall under the category. It just lacks innovation and also starts to drag occasionally at 18 minutes running time. Still, if sci-fi or robots are your cup of tea, give this one a go and you'll surely end up liking it more than I did.
gofenris OK hater, thanks for the feedback. Who cares if it was good or not, at least the creator is doing something he loves. If you love hating, then it's a win-win I guess. As for my take; is it great? No, but I did enjoy it. It appealed to me on a sort of 11 year old sci-fi action level. Being a fan of the original Doctor Who I find it very easy to overlook the low budget look in favor of imagination. I thought the overall style was pretty cool and Robot himself looked great. Sure, some of the timing and jokes were off but it is sort of an off-beat film. I thought the overall idea was pretty cool and interesting and even the sense of humor was quirky if a bit rough. Too bad it's all that exists, but maybe that's a good thing (in a good way).
RT Firefly Not cool, not funny, not stylish and not exciting. Why people pour so much time and energy into projects like this is beyond me. It served no purpose as a pilot, surely nobody would care to watch this, even on the Sci-Fi channel. There was nothing to "pilot". If it were funny, the crappy production value would be excusable. If it were stylish, it might be fun. If it had any kind of character development then someone might give a damn. This was a waste of time through and through. And to think, some guy probably took a year out of his life to get this made. If you want to watch a poorly made cardboard robot walk around for 17 minutes, than knock yourself out, otherwise watch the trailer on youtube and you've seen the film.Surely the energy put into this project could have been better spent on a decent plasma TV or at least a real robot of some kind, one of those vacuum cleaner types perhaps.
Tim McGahren Hitchcock, Kubrick, Scorsese, Kusosawa and Bergman, titans of the movie industry, visionaries, and men names greater than time, and yet, they must step aside and make room for Robert Schrab, who has presented us with a blinding vision which the psyche can only endeavor to grasp in its entirety.What can we truly say about 'Robot Bastard!' that has already not been said? Honor, desire, betrayal, and sacrifice, all these thing so elegantly presented in this masterpiece, aptly named 'Robot Bastard!'. Like an artist who deftly wields his sable brush, Schrab paints for us a new place and a new time where the essence and depth of idealism, and self-sacrifice are starkly portrayed, coming through the screen to penetrate into the deepest recesses of the audiences' hearts and minds. As we watch we inadvertently begin to question our own humanity, and what makes a man a man and a machine only a machine. And although we believe we have answers, the question continues to roll around in our minds, shattering our preconceived belief system for the answer is greater than mere words can describe.This film will change you, it will elicit tears of sadness and of joy, and in the end, the bittersweet ending, will leave you empty, and yet fulfilled at the same time. This is, one of the great films of our time, and any time, and is the ultimate justification and recompense to the creator who gave us the ability to reason and the free will to carry out our desires.
