This is the forerunner of films like Pacific Rim.( I heard there is a sequel coming, yay) The special effects were well,if simply done and obvious but the film holds up and will by its very specific time period, shine a light on the stresses and hopeful solutions of the 1990s.

The best stop-motion giant fighting robot movie ever! A poor script, bad acting, and really lame costumes make some of this painful to watch, but the giant robots going at it in the crowd-filled arena make it all worthwhile. The robots are not guys in suits or computer generated, they are stop-motion models (think "Jason and the Argonauts" or "7th Voyage of Sinbad") that look great. The opening sequence flyover of the robot graveyard is soooooooooooo cool, it always brings a smile to my face. You have to suffer a bit watching this movie, but if you are a fan of sci-fi, it is really worth it. Why? Because it's Giant Fighting Robots!!!
I watched this when I was a kid and remember how much I loved it. Could not believe it when I found it on DVD. The acting is pretty bad; only Jean-Claude VanDamme would have made this worse. (he's not in it) The dialogue is poorly-written and quite elementary, but this movie is one of those you can put in the DVD player on a rainy day and remember when action sequences were done with models and "clay-mation" effects. This movie was highly overlooked. Not going to win any awards in this lifetime, but it's worth a few bucks!
This DVD was a gift for my husband. It's a great film and had no scratches. Thank you!

OK what you have here is a movie that had some potential but never ever even came close to realising that potential. The premise is sort of cheesy to start with. The charachters are not beleivable. Some like the Tex charachter are just plain stupid. you really have to wonder what they were thinking. However The Robots are cool and some of the fight scenes are fun so if you have a boring rainy sunday and you've got nothing else to watch its not bad. I bought it because I liked the movie "CRASH AND BURN". that was a good movie. This is not and most of the other Mech Warrior flicks are just like Robot Jox or worse. Get "CRASH AND BURN" on Laserdisc and watch on a widescreen set you'll be much happier.
