    A classic movie from the 80's. This is a decent movie about a experimental military robot that gains self awareness and develops a loving and charming personality. He goes by the name Johnny Five. The robot F/X was well done. Plus you actually end up liking the robot character. ...( read more)I liked this film. Even after watching it years later I still think this is a solid entertaining movie. Stars Steven Guttenberg, Fisher Stevens and Ally Sheedy. The movie is simple and fun. Great for kids and adults to enjoy.

    Now this was unique in the day, the robot used here was actually really decent and it was real!! no crappy effects it was a full blown full size prop and that made the film a classic and cult. Everyone knew of Johnny 5 haha he was huge at the time and so was this film.

    It is a t...( read more)ypical kiddie flick with baddies in black, beautiful ladies that need saving, cheesey comedy lines and tags, dumb pratfalls, robots getting hammered to pieces making the kids cry, robots coming back and beating baddies up LOL and on top of all that you have the king of the 80's Steve Guttenberg ^_^

    Its now VERY dated and poor to be honest but there is still that 80's charm that always wins the day.

  • October 17, 2009
    Let's call it a guilty pleasure, for whatever reason, but I really enjoyed the film. It's a cute story, light hearted, entertaining and fun to watch. Nothing great but it never bored me.

  • September 12, 2009
    This film is disgracefully unbelievable.

    If there was a robot that could do all of these things, it would blatantly be Japanese.

    lol, this movie would've been cool had I seen it when I was younger, but seeing it now is just a little silly. The girl's name is Stephanie though. That's sweet.

When a military test causes one of the robot to become self aware they have to go out and try to find Johnny 5. G.W. Bailey plays his fore...( read more)ign partner with a slack grasp of the English language. Johnny 5 takes refuge in Ally Sheedy's catering truck.
