Robot Monster!

Where did they shoot this, a quarry?

"The last six hu-mans on Earth live in a quarry...."

Actually, it looks like Southern California. Which is perhaps like a quarry.

Robot Monster is endearingly blatant & obvious. It is what it is, no bones about it. An amusing way to waste shorten your life by spend an hour.

I could try & get into the psychosexual implications of the Johnny/Alice relationship, but nah, really, that would be reaching. Johnny's just a kid with his head full of science fiction tropes.

What is the implication of the fact that the Ro-Man is apparently stouter under his ape suit than any two of the rest of the cast? Is this movie subtly anti-fat people, or are the aliens just a larger race?

Oh, never mind.

I don't know if I should call these reviews, even, but I'm starting to enjoy doing them.
