Robot Monster

Sure, on one level it’s one of the worst movies ever made. The dialogue is crap, the story a mess, the acting more wooden than a plank and the special effects, which consist mainly of a bubble machine pumping out bubbles into just about every scene with no rhyme, reason of explanation, aren’t very special at all. But so what? It’s also a hoot to watch. It’s the story of an alien being called Ro-Man (who looks like a fat guy in a gorilla suit wearing a kid's space helmet on his head) and his plans to kill the last eight people on earth so that his people can take over the planet. The scrappy survivors, however, have no intention of giving up the planet without a fight. If you are wondering how it all turns out, you are missing the point of a movie like this. In fact, the less you think about it, the more fun you will have.
