Review of Robotropolis

Robotropolis (2011)
3/10
Skiffy Channel Chewey Goodness
17 October 2012
Warning: Spoilers
This was obviously designed for the Skiffy Channel or its Australian or New Zealand equivalents... And it has all the ingredients.. silly plot, lame CGI, a washed up actor from GOOD Science Fiction (in this case, Farscape's Lani Tupu) and more filler than a Hostess Snack Cake.

The plot is that an eccentric billionaire builds a community where all the work is done by robots, but they still have a bunch of humans on hand to, well, I don't know, I guess be easy victims of the inevitable robot rampage.

Where I give it some credit, the characters of the News Crew were interesting, and you kind of cared about them and their plight and whether they would survive or not. But you didn't need to guess who was going to live and who was going to die, because honestly, the only way it would have been more obvious if they had Star Trek Red shirts on them.

Oh, because this is made for TV, no extreme violence, no sex, no nudity and no swear words. Because we all want to maintain our propriety during a robot slaughter. Not me. Robots start slaughtering, I'll probably be swearing a lot. Maybe crying like a little girl, too.
