It was very apparent that this film had almost no budget. Only one astronaut for critical mission? I guess that saves a few bucks in actor salaries. But the real downfall for this film was the mismatched tone of the score and cinematography to what was actually happening to the character/story. There were many places where the character was experiencing one emotion, yet the score set the exact opposite mood. The same with the cinematography. (Jump cuts when character is experiencing long bouts tedium?)

Another problem was the unrealistic dialogue. For example, at one point the main character is suppose to give a report back to mission control, but he sounds more like an eighth grader than a highly trained professional.

The robotic special effects were great though. It appeared that they used actual robots (not CGI) for the majority of the robots in the film, and they were able to convey some personality for the robots. Also, the acting by the main character was well done, even though he had very few lines of poor dialogue.

Overall I wouldn't recommend this film unless you really like robot movies and don't mind exercising your suspension-of-disbelief muscles.

Triggers: violence - guns, lasers, bombs, war; graphic depiction of cadavers.

A lot of people seem to trash this movie. Well let me just say they have no idea how to rate a film. Considering this is a very low budget film it was very well done. Yes there's a lack of dialogue. Duh that's how it was designed. The cinematography was outstanding. Effects were well done to the budget. Acting was good. Remember that Tom hanks did a film with little dialog and it was a Oscar nominated film. The story and show running, imo, were excellent. Only one thing could make this better. Remake with someone like Ridley Scott behind it. With a large budget and some add ons to the script this could be a award winning movie. Great job. Make More Movies

The basic idea of the movie is an interesting one but everything else is terrible. There's a huge lack of dialogue/monologue and I might have been OK with that if it wasn't for the annoying cinematography and boring story. Most of the movie is shaky as if it was shot by a cell phone in the hands of someone with multiple sclerosis.

The premise is interesting except they give away the 'big secret' halfway through. The one and only human character is really slow with figuring things out, leaving viewers to sit through the rest of it wishing they could smack him.

If you have young children who don't want to go to sleep at night, this might do the trick.

I was intrigued by the picture used on Amazon to promote the movie, and the description sounded like it would be at least fairly interesting. Not even close. Worst of all, I paid $3.00 for it. Free would have been bad enough.

We see these Acme Corp robots just a few times (looking NOTHING like the high tech robot used to promote the film), but there's little insight into why they're going about killing everything in sight. To protect the few survivors of the holocaust? But by the looks of it, the robots would kill them too. Who knows? And maybe the details were there somewhere, but I got so bored with such a slow paced, unproductive story line, if you can call it that, I kept skipping ahead.

There's a few revelatory moments, but the majority of the film is just very long, drawn out moments, one to the next, over and over again. Here's a suggestion, if you want torture, try the less time consuming variety, like maybe a good punch to the face as a superior alternative to this movie.

Let me start by saying the lead image of the fancy robot is a laugh.

The special effects were bad but could have been a lot worse. It actually had them which is more then I can say for some movies. So do not watch this movie for the effects.

I watch this movie some time ago and forgot how it ended so I ended up watching it again. It actually kept my attention for the 80min+. You just want to see what is going to happen next.

I like the way it ended. Very thought provoking.

So, far too much time is spent getting to the plot twist. Once it's revealed, the movie plods on to a second plot twist. As some have said, 25 minutes is sufficient to tell this story. And to the author of the "Sleepy Astronaut" review, if you want to review a film, at least watch it in its entirety so you don't embarrass yourself by missing the important plot twist.

I loved this movie. Judging by the artwork I expected a dumb movie that I could just have a have a drink, watch, criticize and and go to bed. I was pleasantly surprised by the believable graphics, (most sci-fi films over due it and it ends up looking plastic and fake) the amazing plot and eeriness of it. I value authenticity in sci-fi films and this film has it all. Definitely a thinking mans's movie. The only thing I would criticize is the artwork, (they were clearly trying to sell it as something other than what it was and that alone is the closest I come to understanding why it has such low ratings) and lastly the ending could have been a little more complete.

The only interesting things in this flick are the robots (which actually do exist as I have seen them in trade publications). The cover photo has NOTHING to do with the content BTW and that robot does not appear anywhere in the movie. I'm not sure how this film could have won any awards as listed in the Trivia section. Perhaps that Trivia comment should be checked for accuracy. The action, if one could refer to it as that, is slowwwwww and the annoying "black screen" pauses only add to the pain. The character is clearly not the trained astronaut or military figure one would think would be sent on such a mission. He doesn't even know how to use the simple device he finds about halfway through (though most 6-year-olds today would have no problem using it). By the end of the movie a possible ending begins to appear ... and is then abandoned entirely thus the movie ... does NOT end! It just stops mid-yawn.

I wanted to see an action title. It had a nice poster and I thought 'oh well, I can always stop watching it'. Puh, when the pilot started talking, seeing a capsule with three empty seats; and when the capsule's orbit started to deteriorate and the actor was moving like a grandpa to get a spacesuit (which was merely a gas mask and crash helmet), I knew this would be a bore. To be honest. I flicked through most of the movie. I'd rather vacuum instead. Yes, Ian is an independent film maker, and yes, he deserves credit for 'solid acting'. However, the story, the props, the lack of action and purpose made even this flick boring during the flick through. I mean, where was the robot pictured on the poster? Not in this movie! Obviously, this dude traveled to a post-apocalyptic earth. Hooray. Planet of the Apes ring a bell? Look, watching a guy walk around aimlessly and hit a robot with a stick, who then gets woozy, gees.Thank god I have a vacuum cleaner.

Go and watch some paint dry it will deliver more entertainment than this trash. It's an ultra low budget homemade 10 minute short film implausibley streched to over an hour and half. There is only one character no dialogue and nothing much happens. Anyone making it to the end without fast forwarding should be awarded a prize.

If like me you spend more time paging through streaming services looking for something decent to watch than actually watching movies, then you probably have a similar process of compiling a shortlist of movies that don't have stupid titles, don't have stupid covers, aren't made by a certain science fiction channel, and don't have a blurb featuring the words "zombie" or "found footage". I then run my list past IMDb's and other aggregators' reviews to arrive at the Least Worst Film.

And thus it was with "Robot World", which nearly didn't make the cut because it doesn't feature at all on most review sites, and has a different name on IMDb ("Reconnoiter"), all of which are usually very bad signs indeed.

But on this particular evening the competition was unusually dire, so I decided to go for it, and boy was I glad I did!

This film has a tiny crew, no doubt a tiny budget, and practically no cast at all. Yet it delivers a tight, well-plotted, well-paced story with considerable aplomb, and surprisingly decent visual effects to boot. At times it reminded me of Moon, Sunshine, or Extant, and is heavily influenced by 2001 and Battlestar Galactica. Maybe a hint of Blake's 7 (upholstery, mainly).

This exceedingly fine British film is 1000 times better than most of the dross out there that has 1000 times the budget, and I hope that Rendered Pictures go from strength to strength. It is so refreshing to be *pleasantly* surprised by on online movie these days.

Do yourself a favour and watch it, then find their website and read the production blog, and marvel at how such a film came to be!

Truth be told, I have to admit that I figured I would be in for a stinker here, as the movie's cover seemed to be the type of cover that over-sells the movie by a landslide, whilst the actual contents of the movie is a questionable low budget affair. And I guess the glorious 3.8 rating the movie had landed on IMDb, as of the very moment I sat down to watch it here in 2025, was also a testimony to the fact that this was most likely not a stellar movie. But I still opted to watch the movie on account of it being a movie that I had never heard about, and thus also never seen.

And seeing that the movie was directed by Neil Rowe, written by Neil Rowe and also had Neil Rowe on the cast list, well that definitely also raised some alarm bells. Movies with one guy in all those roles tend to be lousy movies. So there was just a lot speaking against "Robot World".

The narrative in the movie was sluggish and generally failed to provide me with much of any entertainment, so it was a struggle to sit through the movie, especially since nothing overly interesting was taking place throughout the course of the movie. And there wasn't really a coherent red thread to lead the audience through the narrative.

Needless to say that I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, and that was actually something that spoke in favor of the movie. The acting performances were okay, but nothing mentionable.

The special effects were actually not all that bad. I've seen far worse effects in sci-fi movies even newer than this 2015 movie.

My rating of writer and director Neil Rowe's 2015 movie "Robot World" lands on a generous three out of ten star.

Another great example that well done science fiction does not require dozens of idiotic CGI fight scenes , dizzying sequence after dizzy sequence. How ever much they made this movie for was well spent money. All it takes is a little imagination and not have a need to see karate chop moves on speed or ridiculous romantic side stories juxtaposed against a backdrop of over played and under thought fight scenes. This movie did not need a slutty looking girl dolled up to the max to keep you watching. Well done, Very enjoyable.

Don't expect rock-em sock-em action from this robot movie. This is not the worst sci-fi flick I've ever seen. The premise is great, it just isn't enough to fill 82 minutes. This would have made a great Outer Limits, or Twilight Zone episode. Though the budget was obviously pretty low, they did a fairly good job with what they had. The space scenes looked pretty good. The CGI robots were pretty bad, but again, I've seen worse. Aside from a home movie reel of people having a barbecue, the only person you see throughout the entire movie, is the protagonist. Well, him and a dream baby, for no apparent reason. Ian Rowe's performance was pretty good, but he didn't have many lines to deliver either. Maybe four or five total throughout the whole movie. Overall, the movie is a bit boring. There were some robot fight scenes, here and there, but even those were lackluster, and, well... robotic. I'm a die hard sci-fi fan, so I kind of enjoyed it, but if you don't REALLY like science fiction, I'd avoid it. If they had more money to sharpen up the graphics, and if it were fleshed out a bit more, it could have been a really great movie. If you do watch it, expect a slow paced, not terribly made, low budget movie.

It wasn't half bad considering it was a low budget movie, but majority of it was just me trying to figure out what the hell was going on. I get some of it... I think... But not entirely sure. I liked the robot dog though. It was cute.

** TOTAL SPOILERS **

The movie is boring. Nothing of interest happens from about the 5 min mark until about the 40 min mark, 25 to 30 minutes of that could have easily been scrapped and it wouldn't have matter one bit.

It has far to many annoying sounds, especially early on. Several times there is a high pitched whine that goes on for way, way too long. Other sounds that would normally not be an issue, like the alert buzzer in the spaceship, become irritating because the scenes are dragged out far too long.

As soon as the story actually starts moving, the twist becomes painfully obvious, to the audience at least, though the protagonist is a slow one and seems oblivious to what is, literally in a couple cases, right in front of his face. SPOILERS... Oh my God. He's back. He's home. All the time, it was... They finally really did it. Those Maniacs! They blew it up! Ah, damn them! God damn them all to hell! On the more technical side, the main/only actor did a reasonable enough job, with what he was given. The effects weren't spectacular, but they were good enough with a few, like the robot dog, being pretty good. The camera work on the other hand was as boring as the story. Nothing except plain straight shots, lacking any flare or even a hint that the director understands camera angles are a tool to help tell the story, not just a device to record it.

An interesting concept, but that is pretty much the only positive thing I can say about this movie. 3/10 would not watch again.
