“(This movie is totally unrelated to the BBC combat robot competitions, the incorrect DVD cover being shown above.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, this is the sort of production I would have expected to come from the 1970s, as a cheap, time-slot alternative to something like Six Million Dollar Man, not something made in 1993. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe technology they used to put the movie together must have been picked up cheap at another production houseu0026#39;s clearance sale, allowing them to do more than they could have with modern equipment, while staying within their shoestring budget. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor sets, there was the usual use of pipe-filled basements, panels of unlabeled, illuminated switches, and lots of camera shaking to simulate movement. Due to the cheapness of the sets, doors for elevators, or passenger compartments always opened and closed off-screen, with the exception of one special effect.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot was disjointed, but if you ignored the unexplained, and great leaps of faith, it more or less held together, although it certainly could have done with a lot more robots to qualify as a war. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you like a u0026quot;goodu0026quot; B movie, this one qualifies.”
