So we return again to Charles Band and Full Moon Productions. Yeah. And part of me wanted to do a 5 word review. "You know what this is" and then just a big 2 stars.
This type of thing was on my radar when I was a little bit more into hokey "so bad it's good" type bullshit. There's a chance this being on my list dates back to more than 15, possibly even closer to 20 years, because this would've been in my SyFy channel, Pabst swilling phase. You can tell I matured because now I swill IPAs instead.
These movies are about as fun as their effects and how much they're featured, as a lot of these don't have a lot else going for them. In this movie, it's claymation robots, and the ensuing battles they have. The robots do look good, but there's definitely not enough of them, and the fighting scenes are shot in a way to hide the action and conveniently cut to the human actors rather than have anything look actually cool. Can't have that!
The plot is cookie cutter and revolves around a Megarobot pilot teaming up with an archaeologist and stopping a bad guy from having his own robot, and that's really about it. They do the classic antagonism between the good guy and the female when you know in the end they'll be doing butt stuff and facials. It's what you expect. Because...
You know what this is.
