I had no expectations when I started watching - all I knew was it was about a robot. But it was a one of the few non-animated children's movie available at the time.
Basically, it's about man misusing technology and a kid rescuing the misused technology, in this case, a robot initially programmed for good but hijacked for nefarious purposes.
Acting is just average in this movie. Most of the kids in this movie do not seem to have much acting experience and it shows (some of the adults don't either), but the kids you're watching this with will probably not notice. They'll most likely be oohinh and aahing over the cool robot.
Typical storyline: robot invented for good, subverted for evil by no- good partner, robot damaged and found by kid, kid repairs and restores robot's, bad men chases kid and robot, kid's family is kidnapped, then rescued by robot and all ends well.
Not the best family movie there is, but it is good for 90 minutes of family bonding.
