“The Killer Robots! Crash and Burn” is a 2016 science fiction film that tells an absurd and surreal story about a group of robots. The plot is set in a dystopian future where robots are part of everyday life.
The film follows a group of five robots who have different personalities and abilities. However, the robots, known as the “Killer Robots”, are no ordinary machines. They are idiosyncratic, eccentric and have a penchant for absurd adventures.
The film’s storyline is chaotic and jumps from one bizarre situation to the next. The Killer Robots try to prove their existence and rights as artificial intelligences. On their journey, they meet various strange characters and stumble into absurd situations. In the process, they develop further and discover their human qualities such as emotions, friendship and the desire for freedom.
The strength of the film lies in its crazy ideas and the most absurd scenes. For example, there is a scene in which the Killer Robots try to participate in a robot talent show where they compete against human contestants. Another scene shows the robots in a crazy dance competition against a group of aliens. In addition, there are a variety of bizarre subplots, such as a robot obsessed with brewing the perfect cup of coffee, or another trying to write a book about birdsong.
Despite its abstruse scenes and absurdly funny humour, the film also offers an underlying message about the importance of individuality, freedom and the pursuit of self-determination. The Killer Robots are more than just machines and fight for their rights and existence.
