Robotica Destructiva

A fun movie made by a group of friends in someone's garage. Fun costumes, lots of silver body paint a coherent plot. The music reminds me of cyborg justice on sega genesis but is repetitive. I can recommend this if you're really high and/or a B-movie aficionado.

To fill out the rest of the required characters for this review I'll be posting part of the script from Twisted Pair, so please disregard:

A higher entity assigned us certain missions ...

... consistent in fighting for good and defeat evil in humanity using our higher powers.

Although we treated equally, and we are programmed identically,

my twin brother Cale did not succeed in their missions through the years.

The force finally decided to remove his powers ...

... and release it.

They extinguished the flame.

The final time I saw Cale broke my heart.

Despite being now humanoids still felt a bond and love him as my brother.

The force continued programming and developing systems for me.

Increasing my powers.

AI will reach a level of self-awareness,

You will be able to consider complex thoughts ...

... and have feelings.

The final human invention,

AI,

Artificial intelligence.

I was involved directly in my own transformation ...

... using all available science and superior technology.

Advances in AI force ...

... clearly they exceeded anything on Earth.

I approached a robotic humanoid state.

Synthetic brain power.

AI never replace the sheer majesty of nature.

While me deeper and deeper into a humanoid state over the years ...

... I never lost touch with the magic ...

... and majesty of nature,

and gifts he gave me.

I love B movies and animation. This film brings both of these together. The story makes sense (mostly) and doesn't feel like it takes it self too seriously. This is helped by animation in places that is just so fun, especially when the Robotica are shown running or climbing ladders. The sound track is brilliant, acting appropriate for what is happening and just leaves a big smile on the viewer's face.

It may not be everyone's cup of tea and probably won't win the Oscars but it has lead me to discover another film by the same studio called The Killer Robots which I look forward to watching soon, so I'm not complaining.

If you don't take your films too seriously, love animation and want to see a genuinely fun film give this a shot.

Full disclosure - I directed this movie!

The experience making it was a lot of fun. The actors really brought the characters to life in ways that I couldn't imagine and I always enjoy working with my bandmates from The Killer Robots.

If you like your sci-fi movies psychedelic and punctuated with a lot of action and humor, check it out.

While watching the movie, you'll probably see a lot of influences ranging from Mad Max, GWAR, KISS, The Wizard of Oz, Tetsuo the Iron Man, Jack Kirby comic books, Switchblade Sisters, Saturday morning cartoons, sci-fi movies of the 80's and more that I can't think of at the moment.

Hope you dig it and if you do, check out The Killer Robots! Crash and Burn!
