Thirty-five years ago, a movie called Robot Jox hit the screens. It was not a big hit, but it was not completely bad either. The story is set in a future where wars are illegal, and instead, giant robots fight to settle disputes. This might sound exciting, but the movie did not deliver on its promise. The robots are big and clunky, and the fights are not as fun as they could be. The movie tries to be serious, but it ends up feeling silly.

The two main robot pilots are Achilles and Alexander. Achilles is the good guy, and Alexander is the bad guy. They fight in big robots, but the movie does not make you care about them. There is a scene where Achilles accidentally hurts a lot of people, and this is supposed to make you feel bad, but it just feels weird. The movie tries to be deep, but it does not succeed.

The movie was written by a famous science fiction writer, Joe Haldeman. He is known for his smart stories, but Robot Jox is not one of his best works. He wanted the movie to be more serious, but the director wanted it to be more like a cartoon. The result is a movie that is neither serious nor fun. It is a mix of good ideas and bad execution.

Despite its flaws, Robot Jox has some interesting ideas. The world it creates is full of diseases and ignorance, and the robots are a way to hide from the harsh reality. The movie tries to say something about humanity, but it gets lost in its own mess. It is a shame because there are some good ideas here, but they are buried under bad writing and silly scenes.

Robot Jox is not a great movie, but it is not the worst either. It is forgettable, but it is also interesting to watch. It is a reminder that even bad movies can have good ideas, and even good writers can make bad movies. It is a mix of good and bad, and that is what makes it unique.
