After the Earth is conquered by alien robots, humans are implanted with tracking devices and must stay inside or risk incineration by robot sentries.

Surprises are few and far between, but what makes it a bit better than average compared to other live-action kids' films is the jaunty banter.

The pic's general good humor - plus the tony adult presence of Gillian Anderson and Ben Kingsley - compensates to some degree for its cheapjack construction, but not enough to extend its appeal far beyond pre-teens in Blighty.

3/5

Director Jon Wright, who directed the rambunctious monster-movie Grabbers, makes the most of his limited resources, imbuing the action with an oddly endearing sense of string-and-glue DIY youthfulness.

Lively action on a low budget.

3/5

While Robot Overlords looks like it's been made on the budget of a Doctor Who episode and features binary acting, there is enough spirit to entertain.

Robot Overlords is an engaging action romp that moves at a nice pace but eventually gets rather let down by effects efforts that are compromised by the film's low-budget origins.

A horde of giant killbots Vs. a human with the power of controlling giant killbots.

It delivers on exactly what you expect. It's called ROBOT OVERLORDS after all. I enjoyed it ultimately even though there were inconsistencies and dull/unneeded scenes. I didn't enjoy the ending but I won't spoil it for you.

A nice and well made, fairly family-friendly (almost getting Disney-vibes), scifi movie. Very entertaining and professional although non-spectacular.
