Some say Robot Monster is one of the worst films to be made. It is certainly bad, but enjoyable.
Ro-Man has been sent to Earth to destroy the last six people and spends most of the movie attempting to do this. He plans to take over the Earth with, amongst other things, dinosaurs. He also has a bubble machine with him. He falls in love with a woman in the group of survivors which complicates things and he doesn't succeed with his plans in the end. All this turns out be the boy, who is one of the survivors, dreaming.
Ro-Man is played by a man in a gorilla suit with a diving helmet over his head. The dinosaurs and enlarged lizards we see are stock footage from The Lost Continent (1951) and the usual stock footage from One Million BC (1940). We also see some stock rocket footage from Flight To Mars (1951).
The score is by the late Elmer Bernstein (The Magnificent Severn) and is quite good. Most of the cast are unknowns, apart from George Nader.
Robot Monster is essential viewing, especially for bad movie and sci-fi fans like myself. So bad it's good.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
