An alien civilization, which facing eminent extinction, kidnaps two famous genetic scientists from Earth. A troop of soldiers is dispatched to combat the humanoid robots and rescue the victims.
As I write this, the work in question is still playing back before my stunned eyes. I am not quite finished drinking in this cinematic masterpiece, and I already have to relieve myself of my chicken dinner.
On the more pleasant side, I have to say that the sounds in this movie are WAY rad in such that it is definitely an analog collection of Boops and BLEEPS to be recorded in one's spare time.
The acting is mostly sincere, although I had a hard time figuring out how the character's lips would switch from italian to english and back again while all in the same shot. huh?
I have to say my favorite scene (which just finished a few minutes ago) involved a certain, let's say, "reference" to a certain 'laser sword' from everyone's favorite gray-goateed' master of the pen <chuckle...>.
Credit is still due to the shot selection, although with certain scenes I was left asking myself 'what just happened' too many times to remember.
On that note I must bid adieu to the juggernaut of motion pictures that is War of the Robots.
