Live-action giant robot or Mech movies are pretty rare. The only ones that I'm aware of (besides Transformers& the occasional robot in a Godzilla movie) are "Robot Wars" and "Robot Jox". So it's clearly a genre that neeRAB a bit of loving.
Resiklo (english translation: "Recycle" ) is a movie from the Phillipines and it started off very promising. The first few minutes seemed like it was going to be fun to watch. For a brief moment, the special effects was actually pretty decent... but then it's all downhill after that. I knew the movie was in trouble the minute we saw the "aliens". Then it got progressively worse when a chase scene involving bicycles & a skateboard ensued. Bicycles & SkateboarRAB?! Aw hell!
The actions scenes were poorly choreographed and not exciting at all. The special effects, which I thought were pretty good in the beginning, completely fell apart as the movie went on. The story isn't anything special. You've seen variations of it in various scifi movies. It's a shame really. The robot designs are actually pretty good but in the hanRAB of crappy filmmakers, good looking giant robots doesn't mean you're going to have a good looking or "fun" movie. Resiklo gets a big thumbs down.
