Battle Bots (2018) User Reviews

A Feature Length Home Movie

[allen-roulston · 1/10 · 31 October 2018]

Expository and unnecessary dialogue litter this fan film-ish home movie. Props, set locations, acting and camera work leave a lot to be desired. On the other hand, the inane dialogue is clearly recorded. Many of the props are shared between characters. I suppose there was a script, but it doesn't look like it contained a comprehensible plot. I have my doubts the cast and crew understand what this movie is about. Example: a character mentions a need to avoid something environmental which will cause great harm, then proceed to briefly avoid the threat, then carry on like the threat no longer exists, while the threat does clearly still exist. Fight scenes make no sense. Enemies appear out of no where, then fail to make use of their tactical advantage. This movie is so bad the only value in watching it is to document all of the short comings.

Whoever made this movie should be ashamed of themselves worse thing ever and I've seen some bad movies... The dollar store should put pics of these people and stop them from get their props....

Oh my God!

I managed to watch 6 minutes, that's it! I really don't know how anyone can use money to make movies like this. You may say how I could revive a movie in such a short time. Well, try yourself.

Atrocious script

[gacsogergely · 4/10 · 30 December 2021]

The movie is beautifuly shot.

Danielle Donahue gives 100%.

Elements are obvious ripoff, but passable.

The robots look magnificient (costumes?).

The problem is the script. Without effort this could have been an entertaining movie, easy 5-6/10, even 7/10 with a good script, and stuff for the actors to do.

There is simply nothing happening, the buildup of the Emperor leads nowhere, and we got the same 1 robot fight 3 times. The script is just LAZY. I've noticed Polonia tends to create his films around the effect instead of the story, and this is clearly visible here. Needed more stroy and more robot fights. Never seen any giant robot movie, or kaiju film? Here is a hint: put wires on the robots so you can rip those off! Give rocket-launchers to the humans to help with the fight! Send in the drones so the humans have something to while the robots fight!

I give everyone in this the credit, but the direction and the script gets and F.

Movie, are you kidding??

Oh dear, a movie 67 minutes long and what a fine story. Damn what a worthless piece of garbage this is, no it's awfull! My final score is below zero...

A real dog

[Leofwine_draca · 1/10 · 28 November 2018]

I caught this under the title ROBOWAR but whichever name you see it under, it's a real dog of a film. The video cover makes it look like one of those old stop motion giant robot movies that Charles Band used to make, but instead it turns out to be some zero budget disaster about a guy wearing a gas mask acting in the most wooden way imaginable. The rest plays out with two or three actors hanging out in abandoned locations with very little of note happening at any time during the proceedings.

What is this crap

[stewart-76851 · 1/10 · 2 November 2018]

This has got to be the worst movie i have seen. I think lost in space is better just wrong looks like its make by preschoolers

You need to take this move at face value.

An Oscar winner it's not but it's fun to watch. Plots from 5-6 movies all slammed together in an adventure for the ages. It's a battle of the human race and the bots might rule but you'll have to watch to find out.

Giant post-apocalyptic robots.

[MonsterVision99 · 7/10 · 29 April 2020]

This is a really fun B movie by Mark Polonia, much like many of his other films, Robowar pays tribute to many sci-fi and genre films while creating a new engaging and entertaining story. While the movie its obviously quite low budget, that never actually stops it from delivering some good mecha action with actors on robot suits fighting, some really cool villians and likable characters that work really well on this cheesy, charming and fun no-budget flick.

Recommended for modern day B movie fans, if you like microbudget sci-fi or if you are a Mark Polonia fan you should truly watch this one.
