Watch Robot Monster For Free

I'll tell you why so serious

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Well, I pass the trophy over from Jaws III to this movie. It really is so bad. Some movies can be so bad they are good. Not this movie...it is a stinker. The acting...what acting? The special effects...what special effects? The dinosaurs...well, they were kinda cool. But what purpose did they serve? Best thing about this movie? That's easy; the love scene. Our hero and heroine are fleeing from some hairy armed man in a diving helmet (supposedly an alien) and incredibly they find time for a bit of flirting, foreplay and a massive kissing session in the hay while this killer robot is limping around in the desert looking totally lost (probably trying to find a way to sneak off the set. In a word, dreadful.

There's not much to say about this movie that hasn't already been said. I could talk about the plot or the characters and how bad they are, or how this movie has no sense of pacing and environment. But that's not why anyone would watch this movie. They'd watch it for the stupidity. And boy, will they not be disappointed. A quick list of idiocy: -The "robot monster" is a scuba diving gorilla. -His radio to his home planet spits out bubbles. -Somehow this lumbering buffoon has wiped out the entire human race. -His death ray is just random, seizure-inducing flashes. -"Dinosaurs" randomly pop in the middle of the movie for no reason. -Said dinosaurs are either reused footage or two wrestling crocodiles, one with a fin taped to his back. -And once again, the robot monster is a scuba gorilla. It's really quite remarkable. I suggest you all stop whatever measly activity you are currently partaking in and go view this movie on your nearest public domain website. It's free and you can also find an old Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode to ease you into the madness. You've been warned.

ROBOT MONSTER is often heralded as the worst movie ever made, although I've seen plenty that are more boring than this zero-budget effort, which is enthusiastic if nothing else. The nutshell plot of the film sees a family struggling to survive in the aftermath of an apocalypse, where they're menaced by the titular alien.The film features an anything-goes, shot-in-your-own-backyard feel which makes it hard to take seriously. I'm a huge fan of '50s sci-fi, but this has more in common with the dodgy offerings of Ed Wood than a real film. The acting is sub-par, the script even worse, and the attempts to enliven things by shoving in stock footage are simply helpless.Things aren't quite so bad as all that, though. ROBOT MONSTER is a film that it's easy to laugh at, which counts for a lot, and Ro-Man is quite an entertaining menace...at least, he's highly amusing, whether it be his bizarre look or the way he talks in that portentous voice. As a movie, it's also very short, which makes things easier to take. Watch it as an unintentional comedy and you might even find yourself enjoying it.

This movie is often considered one of the worst movies ever made, but is it really that bad? To be honest, it's really not. Sure, the villain is no more than a guy in a gorilla suite, and the TVs are made of wood, but that's about it. In other words, the only real problem is the low budget, other than that it's fine. Let me explain.The movie is about the last few people on Earth who are being stocked by a monster named Ro-man. Despite the fact that Ro-man is just a guy in a gorilla suite, the movie does a nice job of making an interesting survival movie. Not to mention the spooky atmosphere with the constant sounds of sirens in the back round. Now some people may ask, "why does Ro-man have a bubble machine, why does he wear a diver's helmet?" The answer is simple. In the beginning of the movie, the boy (one of the characters) is seen playing with a bubble wand and wearing goggles. In other words, Ro-man is a work of the boy's imagination (the whole movie is supposedly a dream). Not to mention the fact that this is one of the rare movies to actually kill off a child character.In the end, if you imagine this movie to have a more threatening villain and a higher budget, it's not that bad. It's a shame these kinds of movies are always getting picked on by people who don't properly judge them.PS: It's better than Plan 9!
