In THE RISE OF THE ROBOTS, our mindless enslavement to technology is explained! Yep, we brought it all on ourselves, by launching the Voyager space probe back in 1977. It crashed on the planet Robotus, causing the robot inhabitants to unleash technological addiction upon us! Just like in STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE!
Now, only Professor Beowulf, and two students, Stoner and Lottie, seem to know what's going on. Joined by the loveable hillbilly, Bubba, they set out to save the world from itself, before a coming invasion -predicted by the Mayans- obliterates us!
TROTR is a sub-zero-budget satire that takes aim at our dependence on gadgets, especially smart phones. The clunky, garbage can robots and other intentional cheeeze are -somewhat- fun, along the the semi-intermittent humor.
No, this isn't STAR WARS, so, don't expect anything overly, or even remotely spectacular. Instead, it's best to go in with lowered expectations, and enjoy the utter cheapness of it all. At 84 minutes, it does feel eternal, but you should know within ten seconds if you can tolerate this sort of thing.
FOR ADDED FUN: See if you can count the number of times that Stoner says, "dude"! For even more fun, multiply this number by pi...
