Robot Riot

Clearly this was a low budget b-grade film, and although flawed, I've seen much worse with bigger budgets.

The directing wasn't great, but the cinematography was. Sure the CGI wasn't great, but at least the robots were fairly realistic. The story was bland, and didn't expand past guns vs robots much. This movie probably would've been better shot as a short film, instead of the 88 min runtime. There were very obvious plot and technical issues.

The score however, was on point and surprisingly effective, especially for a b-grade film. Most of the cast - that I've never heard of, performed quite well, with the exception of the wacky evil commander played by Jason Leyva, who was terrible and took away from the films seriousness.

Nevertheless, I wasn't bored or falling asleep. That alone in my book makes this film worthy of my 5/10
