Suppose you ask the average 10 to 12-year-old boy about ideas for an action movie, what do you think he would come up with? Robots, right? Giant and robust robots that must battle each other with rocket launchers, laser guns, and big iron fist-smashes! Oh, and aliens. Alien with bizarrely wrinkled faces that nevertheless look and talk like angry human beings. Yeah!
So, I reckon "Robo Warriors" was written by a 10-year-old boy. It's a sort of unofficial sequel to the cheesy late-80s Sci-Fi hit "RobotJox" (director Stuart Gordon is even credited) but less entertaining. James Remar is a fantastic and underrated actor, in my humble opinion, but he clearly also wasn't very motivated to play the hero in this infantile piece of junk full of horrendous 90s cliches and stereotypes (heroic kids, likable grandfathers, insignificant women, Asian fighting mentors, ...). The special effects are poor and borderline laughable, there's nothing "futuristic" about the allegedly 2036 sets and locations. Apparently, in 2036, people still drive ordinary cars and live in typically 90s houses.
