Robot Monster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Robot Monster (1953) was a science fiction film made on a low budget, that has since become a defining example of "bad" movies. In this aspect, Robot Monster is likely to remain one of the cornerstones of the standard by which "bad movies" are measured. As a tribute to this more common opinion of the movie, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) featured it as one of its early movie-mocking episodes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Robot_Monster   (995 words)

The Video Graveyard: Evolver The movie's creators understand what the look and feel of the robot should be, and were completely successful in creating a functioning robot that looks and acts like something you could purchase in a Radio Shack. Of course, the Evolver robot itself is the star of this movie, with much credit due to the people who designed and built the robot. A Sci-Fi Channel original movie, Evolver is a fun piece of cheese that exhibits a surprising level of competence in its direction, competence rarely seen in Sci-Fi Channel movies, which have a reputation for being low budget disasters. www.thevideograveyard.com /e/evolver.html   (533 words)

Robot Stories (2003) Pak's movie has the simple message: that the human heart will always prevail, even if Robots take over most human activites.

I, Robot (2004) Here's hoping that Hollywood takes note and uses I, Robot as their new standard for CGI in movies. Discuss this movie with other users on IMDb message board for I, Robot (2004) Most CGI these days is done poorly and really takes me out of the movie, but I really found myself drawn into the world of the robots in this one. www.imdb.com /title/tt0343818   (541 words)

VH1.com : Movies : DVD : Robot Monster : Review Robot Monster is usually grouped among the worst movies ever made and has been called the worst science-fiction film ever made, but this reviewer has long believed that the criticism is not only unfair, but misguided. If viewers go in recognizing this, and also are aware that dreams are, by their nature, irrational and inconsistent, then Robot Monster suddenly seems a lot better as a movie. Robot Monster, along with Cat Woman of the Moon, is one of two low-budget sci-fi features that Bernstein scored at the outset of his career, and they're usually referred to as humorous footnotes to a very successful film music career. www.vh1.com /movies/dvd/8257/review.jhtml   (485 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on I, Robot at Epinions.com Some have chided I, Robot for its use of Star Trek terminology in the movie, specifically the term “positronic.” In actuality, the word was invented early on by Isaac Asimov to describe his robotic brains that are beholden to the Three Laws. While Asimov fans will cringe at seeing his positronic robots smacking up humans with ease, people just looking for a fun summer movie will enjoy I, Robot. While hardcore Asimov fans will cringe a bit at seeing his positronic robots smacking up humans with ease, people just looking for a fun summer movie will enjoy I, Robot. www.epinions.com /content_149337247364   (485 words)

ClydeSight Productions - Bryce 5 "Robby, the Robot" Tutorial Introduction The character and design of "Robby, the Robot" was originated by MGM for the movie "Forbidden Planet" and is the property of Turner Entertainment Co. It is imitated here for Bryce 5 educational purposes only and no violation of their copyright is intended or implied. Robby was a groundbreaking design in cinematic robots, his appearance is classic fifty's retro-- including fins-- and he became the inspiration for a huge number of toys. Robby was a costume, not a puppet or CGI (they didn't have CGI in those days!) He was a full size character who moved about on the movie set and interacted with the other actors in real time. www.clydesight.com /brRobby/welcome.html   (1475 words)

Amazon.ca: Video: I, Robot Nevermind the robots; Hollywood actors, directors, and producers should be programmed with "the 3 laws of moviemaking" - characters, story, and meaning. Their track, which was recorded before the movie hit theaters, discusses the characters and their backstories, the influence of other robot films such as Metropolis, and how all actors in Proyas's films have shower scenes. The I, Robot DVD has spectacular DTS and Dolby 5.1 sound, but a commentary track by director Alex Proyas (Dark City) and screenwriter Akiva Goldman is the only significant bonus feature. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00064AM0S   (297 words)

Amazon.com: Music: I, Robot (Score) [SOUNDTRACK] The I, Robot score is so beautifully rendered that even in the midst of watching the movie, one can still hear the wonderfully scoring throughout. I, Robot didn't really impress me when I began seeing trailers, and I was sure the score would be its saving grace, which is why I was hoping that anyone good would pick it up. After its release, and following the joygasm I had when I saw the movie (twice), I realised two things: Marco Beltrami is really really good, and his score worked perfectly with a movie that is at once an action flick and an insightful preview of our future in a progressively technological world. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002IQI3S?v=glance   (297 words)

HeraldNet - Snohomish County's online news source The 1927 German movie "Metropolis" and the 1951 American movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" featured robots, but it was not until "Forbidden Planet" was released in 1956 that a toy was created to resemble a movie robot -- Robby the Robot. Space travel, rocket ships and robots were among the fantasies of the 20th century. Possibly the earliest pictured robot was a prizewinner in a contest in 1915. www.heraldnet.com /homeandgarden/stories/03/1211/17814297.cfm   (1002 words)

Four stories in which utterly human characters struggle to connect in a world of robot babies, robot toys, android office workers, and digital immortality.

U.S. Robotics chief Lawrence Robertson (Bruce Greenwood) tells Spooner that Lanning had become more eccentric or unbalanced of late and that is why his death is believed to be a suicide.

Mr. Roboto: 'I, Robot' comes up sterile in both ideas and emotional resonance: Movie / Film Reviews: Metro Weekly: Gay Washington DC cinema, movie theaters, videos, DVDs, films at free magazine/newspaper. I, Robot is meant to be a cautionary tale, but we've been cautioned so many times -- starting with Michael Crichton's 1973 Westworld, in which amusement park robots go on a murderous rampage -- that it's become a little like listening to white noise or a Britney Spears album. Mega-corporation U.S. Robotics is about to unveil its latest model -- the NS-5 -- achieving a ratio of one robot to every five humans. Spooner's anti-tech stance makes him an odd-man-out in the year 2035, a year when walking, talking robots have taken over life's everyday tasks, such as dog walking, house cleaning and bartending. www.metroweekly.com /arts_entertainment/film.php?ak=1154   (1035 words)

Monster Shack: Robot Monster (1953) "Robot Monster" is certainly a legendary 'bad movie' that is undoubtedly a must-see for any sci-fi film fan. (Including the 'Robot Monster' comic book in the upper-right corner.) I'm uncertain as to the authenticity of the comics since my interests lie in watching crappy movies, not reading comics...but I'd be interested to hear. After Robot Monster opened to the public, the film was met by so much derision and scorn that director Phil Tucker found it impossible to find other work in Hollywood. www.monstershack.net /reviews/full/robotmonster.htm   (6701 words)

Transformers (toyline) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Transformers is the name of a line of toys produced by Hasbro from 1984 onwards, and also of a number of spin-offs based on the toys including a Marvel comic book series, an animated television series that began airing on 1984 (Transformers series) and a feature-length movie, Transformers: The Movie. A Transformer is an intelligent robot (usually a large humanoid, though there are many exceptions such as animal forms) that is able to "transform", reconfiguring itself into a common and innocuous form, such as a car, airplane or animal. Older Transformers come with Robot Points which could be redeemed for special Transformers which were not sold in stores, such as the Omnibots or the Decepticon triplets known as Reflector (which featured heavily in the early episodes of the television series, despite not being easily available as toys). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Transformers_%2528toyline%2529   (6701 words)
