THE KILLER ROBOTS! CRASH AND BURN is an odd little animated science fiction film in which a squad of heroic humanoid robots go on a special device to get their hands on a device with the power to change the course of the future. It's an entirely low budget production which nonetheless looks pretty decent thanks to solid animation from obviously talented artists. The story is virtually non-existent and the voice performances nothing special, but nonetheless if you like the genre you might get a kick out of it.

Just terrible...

I had never actually heard about this 2016 movie titled "The Killer Robots! Crash and Burn" from writer and director Sam Gaffin prior to sitting down to watch it here in 2023. I figured that with the movie's title and its cover, then chances were that this might actually be a fun movie.
Boy was I wrong. "The Killer Robots! Crash and Burn" was a terrible movie, in every single sense. The storyline in the movie failed to catch my liking, so sitting through 100 minutes of this was bordering on being torture. Writer Sam Gaffin didn't impress me with this 2016 movie, no Sir, not at all.
The acting in the movie was laughable. It was cringeworthy most of the time to watch the performers struggle their way through the abysmal script and laughable special effects.
Visually then "The Killer Robots! Crash and Burn" was horrible. The CGI in the movie felt and looked like something that was discarded from a 1990s computer game. It wasn't even funny to witness.
Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "The Killer Robots! Crash and Burn". Some of us suffered through this ordeal so you don't have to. This is not a movie I would recommend you wasting your time, money or effort on.
How "The Killer Robots! Crash and Burn" constitutes as being entertainment is beyond my comprehension. But I guess someone, somewhere, somehow can get a kick out of watching something like this.
My rating of "The Killer Robots! Crash and Burn" lands on a one out of ten stars.

This film is likely to be a cult classic. It it reminiscent of a Gwar video but with less nudity. If you are looking for high-art or some main stream action adventure, then skip this film.
This film does something new and unique! The visual style is quite cool as it blends live acting with computer generation. The costume designer and make artists have done a great job in creating the characters. The actors have done a good job playing multiple roles without being obvious (I had to read the credits to figure that out).
This team has managed to put together a fun movie with limited budget and cast. This film won't win any Oscars. It might not even be that good... but I enjoyed it.
I have no affiliation with this film nor it's crew.

my mind exploded

Like the reviewer before, watch this movie at 4:20 pm... what can I say, it blew my mind.
Tons of amazing costumes, outstanding visuals, so many cheesy one- liners my brain hurt lol, and great characters. The music will probably become a cult classic by itself, it fits perfectly with the tone of the film. It's one of those movies that feels like you took an actual journey with the characters themselves... and ended up a better person at the conclusion.
Apparently they made this with no budget over 5 years, and if that's the case, it's incredible. Either they had some money or an extreme amount of time and dedication, either way... kudos for making the trippiest film I've seen since the Forbidden Zone.
So if you like B-rated science fiction/fantasy, check this out... you won't be disappointed. And it's totally a B-class film, in the likes of Dr. Who, Red Dwarf, and Manborg, so don't be expecting Star Wars or Transformers quality film-making.
But if you want to see something that will expand the limits of your imagination, check out "Killer Robots! Crash and Burn". This is independent film-making at it's finest, this is the type of movies we need more of. Sorry to end that sentence with a preposition.
Get the movie and a group of your friends, and watch this Saturday right around 4:19 pm... thank me later.

WOW!! Must be experienced

I started watching this movie and I couldn't make myself stop.
The plot is there....
The characters are quirky.
The costumes are surreal.
The one-liners...exquisite.
Live characters in CGI, unlike anything I've seen before.
The sound track glues it all together.
Make sure you have you captioning on or you will miss alot of the dialogue.
After reading some of the trivia on this, it just blows me away that they made this on a shoestring budget on weekends over a 5 year period.
Incredible imagination. A little of Hulk, Matrix, Star Wars, Krull, Wizard of Oz, and other movies I can't think of atm all rolled into one.
The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because it kinda loses focus at the end.
You gotta watch it!!

If you like art, this is really impressive.
Its unpredictable, It isn't trying to be anything its not, its very unique.
I don't know what to say, its a combination of a lot of effort, that they clearly wanted to make something different.
the detail in all the costumes and visuals is very stimulating.
The story itself is cool, and well told I think, though many times comical, the movie tries not to take itself too seriously.
As a art fan myself, I was never got tired of the visuals.
The music goes very well with what is going on.
This isn't like anything i've ever seen. But I found myself watching it all.
Many people wont understand, or appreciate what this is, which is a shame, it really has quite a lot of hidden jokes, and references.
Reminded me a lot of a certain Monsters of Men video.
If you where a kid and watched Power Rangers, this blows that out of the water and on to the moon in every way, but still reminds me a bit of that too.
It just goes to show that you don't need millions of dollars make a sci--fi movie that doesn't make people swear off ever watching anything less than triple A sci-fi productions.
But really, watch this for the art, right around 4:20pm, not that i did, but I bet it would have rocked even more.
