It was a legitimate attempt to continue the Robocop universe, just on a smaller scale. Sure, it's a t.v. series and you won't get Paul Vehoeven's penchant for ultra-violence, so prevalent in the original film. You also don't get Irwin Kershner's disregard for character development (Robocop 2) or anything as stupid as a robot ninja (Robocop 3). In fact, if you ignore those 2 sequels, the feature-length series pilot here serves as a decent sequel. It was even written by the writers of the original film.Some have lamented the tone-downed violence, a necessary concession for television standards. But really, if all you got out of the original film was a robot "Dirty Harry" blowing away the bad guys, you missed a lot. Like some biting satire and first-rate science fiction...both of which are present in this series. Production values are generally good, although Delta City's CGI backdrops haven't aged well...

Any RoboCop fan will most likely enjoy it. However, the packaging is absolutely horrendous. I have never before seen the strange disc-holders this show uses, and I'm sure I never will again. As soon as I slid the disc-holding portion of the box out of the cover and opened the book-style cover, all six discs immediately fell out and hit the floor. When I tried to put them back inside, every single one of the disc-holding "flippers" (I really don't know any other way to describe them, they look like curved versions of the flippers in a pinball machine) snapped the instant I tried to secure a disc inside.This is absolutely the worst packaging I've ever seen for any multi-disc DVD set. Based on the show alone, I would have given this four stars, but the absolutely inexcusable packaging deducts a full two stars. |
