In the year 2041, the rebel Centros are a plague to the survivors of the great toxic gas scare of 1993.

Console best movie i've ever seen.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Leofwine_draca Bad acting, cheap styling, and moronic storytelling are the order of the day in this typical Full Moon production, one of many films made by Charles Band which utilised some stop motion robot effects that he had access to. I love the stop motion work but it's very limited here and the rest of the film is merely an example of the usual cheap science fiction. The main actors are very poor indeed with the exception of Barbara Crampton, who is wasted as the usual blonde love interest/sidekick type character. The film smacks of racism in its depiction of stereotypical Chinese villains while the hero is one of the most useless ever. Unless you have a high tolerance for cheese this isn't really worth your time.
logantoxic This is not a sequel to Robot Jox. Repeat. This is not a sequel to Robot Jox.In the future, there are warring factions that use robots for transportation because there are terrorists that attack them. A bad guy from the other side takes over the transporting robot and our hero has to fight him with a older robot. Other stuff happens but you really don't remember because the main character's acting is so distracting and the plot is so muddled its hard to figure out the who, what, where and why. This movie was trying to be more complicated then it should and the whole time we are waiting for robots to fight. The robot "fighting" is maybe seven minutes throughout the entire film. You see them walking around here and there but i needs that robot action. Once you see the action, you think to yourself, that was OK, I guess. It was a pleasure seeing Barbara Crampton in this film. You might remember her from Re- animator and From Beyond, two of her earlier better films. Even her acting dragged and fell flat just because she was playing opposite Don "The worst actor ever" Michael Paul. His machoness and blatant harassment of Barbara Cramptons character is very awkward and uncomfortable. If there were classes about overacting, I am pretty sure "Robot Wars" would be on the final. Don Michael Paul is simply bad. This film is boarder line "so bad its good". Good - no, bad - yes, Entertaining - kind of.For more of my reviews you can visit my Youtube Page at: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtYHmNjwzVt9E0KUTrELbtA or visit my Blog http://logantoxic.blogspot.com

jim bowie I bought this movie at a flea market mainly because it had a neat box. It's really not all that good. Let me put it this way, the title is misleading. The giant robots are pretty cool. But you don't get to see them that often. This could have been a good movie but it isn't quite good enough to bother buying (or renting) unless your a hardcore sci-fi fan. Oh, and the acting is pretty bad, too.
