Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

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.

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

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

fireblazer666 No movie more deserves a one star rating than this.Bad acting. Boring plot. Emotionless, unbelievable garbage. Nothing interesting happens in this movie... and whoever wrote the dialogue shouldn't be allowed the privilege again... let alone be paid for it...I LOVE Science Fiction!! I Love robots. I even love shitty B movies!! But this was just... bad... I cringed frequently at how awful it was... physically cringed!! The CGI is actually acceptable in this. It's pretty okay. Not good, but okay... but the rest of the movie was just... awful...I only watched it to the end because... well... I was doing other things online anyway. There are times when I'm ALMOST MILDLY ENTERTAINED... almost... but then something makes me cringe at how stupid it is... and how unbelievable the acting is...ALSO... recently there was that Sandyhook Newtown shooting (after this movie came out)... and all through out this movie it's talking about New Town... and at one point they're even hiding in a room IN A SCHOOL while people are beings shot and killed by the robots... there was even a little girl they tried to save... and children that got killed... horrible coincidence... but wow... the whole time this felt like a parody of that school shooting :\

NavyOrion I've seen "Sharknado." I've seen "Mega Python vs. Gatoroid." Heck, I loved "Shark Attack 3: Megalodon." THOSE were the kind of movies that you watch BECAUSE you know they'll be bad, with schlocky effects, stupid story lines, and (most of all) horrible overacting.This stinking pile just doesn't rise to even that challenge. It's pretty bad when you know that even the SyFy channel would have turned down a movie."Robotropolis" had promise, with a basic robots-gone-wild premise, and fair effects work. But the story took forever to begin, and once it had, even the actors seemed bored. Rather than the humorous overacting seen in most C-grade sci-fi films, these walking mannequins were UNDERacting. I'm not trying to be funny, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that the CGI robots were more believable, more interesting, and even more realistically emotional than the "actors." Example (Spoiler Alert, as if it matters): a reporter is doing a story as a robot plays soccer with some men in the background. Suddenly, the robot shoots and kills one of the players. Now I can let go the fact that the other players simply stand there with NO reaction; maybe they're in shock, maybe they're afraid to move, maybe they've been paralyzed by some heretofore unrevealed robotic stun ray, for Pete's sake. But, what reporter, sent to the damn island JUST to do a story about the robots, would look at the camera and say "I'm told the robot has just shot a man," and NOT EVEN TURN TO LOOK AT THE DEAD MAN OR THE ROBOT??? I could go on, but there's no reason. I fast forwarded to the few scenes with additional "action," but they got not better, and no one ever seemed particularly afraid (I swear, I've never seen people "flee" so slowly.) And finally when they movie cuts to black without revealing the outcome (which was actually revealed before the OPENING credits) it's as if the director realized no one would still be watching anyway. He was right.Read the other reviews: of the unlucky few who have had the misfortune to have seen this movie at all, there are even fewer who actually managed to watch the whole thing; I am not among them, thank God. I just wish I could "unwatch" the parts I did.There's still time for you to save yourself from watching any of it. Do so.

JoeB131 This was obviously designed for the Skiffy Channel or its Australian or New Zealand equivalents... And it has all the ingredients.. silly plot, lame CGI, a washed up actor from GOOD Science Fiction (in this case, Farscape's Lani Tupu) and more filler than a Hostess Snack Cake.The plot is that an eccentric billionaire builds a community where all the work is done by robots, but they still have a bunch of humans on hand to, well, I don't know, I guess be easy victims of the inevitable robot rampage.Where I give it some credit, the characters of the News Crew were interesting, and you kind of cared about them and their plight and whether they would survive or not. But you didn't need to guess who was going to live and who was going to die, because honestly, the only way it would have been more obvious if they had Star Trek Red shirts on them.Oh, because this is made for TV, no extreme violence, no sex, no nudity and no swear words. Because we all want to maintain our propriety during a robot slaughter. Not me. Robots start slaughtering, I'll probably be swearing a lot. Maybe crying like a little girl, too.

slmcdee I'm actually watching this movie as I type this review. I've watched tons of bad movies, its actually something that I like to do. This movie is absolutely terrible. The best thing about this movie is... gimme a second... well the part where... nope. Okay, there are no good parts to this movie. Terrible writing, terrible directing and terrible acting. I've used IMDb for at least a decade and I've never written a review, but this movie was so awful I felt like it was my duty as a human being to keep others from wasting time. Transparent plot points, disconnected acting, and amateurish CGI and S/FX.When the first murder occurs at a friendly soccer game, the friends of the slain player (best acting in the movie), stood around not even responding to what had just occurred. Then they all kinda walked of camera as if someone motioned them off. No one stopped to check on the victim. Then the reporter was basically like... "Oh someone just got shot, oh no, we should walk over to the killer robot and investigate, yep he is dead... bye robot.. we'll stand here and watch you walk off." Then the soccer players meander back in ... like "Oh no the robots killed my friend. We are angry, rarrrrrrrr".I could go on... but I actually think this movie made me physically sick... and if that is truly the case, this physical sickness would actually be better than the movie.
