The acting is atrocious, the script is ludicrous, but the effects are magical (only joking). For lovers of B or C horror movies, this is a must watch. Somehow they even managed to get Dee Wallace in the film. So amazingly bad, it's almost good.

This movie looks like a video game from 2002. The CGI is so laughably bad that I would almost recommend watching just 5 minutes of it if you want to see just how bad CGI can get. What was the budget for this thing? 200 bucks? It looks like something a college student would make for an 101 intro to filmmaking course. It doesn't help that the plot, characters, acting, directing all suck as well.

A mysterious military payload is compromised, when a top secret unmanned spacecraft lands in a combination water park and zoo. Next generation drone nano bots, pre-programmed to kill, find a home in a prized twenty-something foot Australian saltwater crocodile named Stella. The normally mild mannered croc immediately changes personality and becomes combative. Rapid transformation from zoo showpiece to a metallic, lethal killing machine with two things on its mind...filling her belly and surviving. A military-type investigative, recovery team wants Stella and will butt heads with zoo personnel not ready to give her up. Some scenes may be a bit disturbing; after all a CGI crocodile can prove menacing. This SyFy feature stars Keith Duffy, Lisa McAlister, Steven Hartley, Corin Nemec and Dee Wallace. You may find Wallace meaner than ramped up Stella.

I really do like Dee Wallace - and while she has quite a big role in this (not as big as the croc obviously, no pun intended), she can't really help elevate the movie either. This is low budget so I can see that some are able to cut this more slack than others. I also am happy for the at least one person who really enjoyed watching this. The majority of the viewers will feel differently. You don't have to just suspend your disbelief - you have to shoot it into outer space. Kidding aside, the movie has dialog that is cringe worthy, CGI that obviously is not good at all and a predictibility rate that is beyond anything one can measure ... maybe take a look at the trailer and decide if you want to embark onto this "adventure"

If not for Corin Nemec playing his character a bit tongue in cheek and all the young bikini clad women this movie would have been a waste of time in my opinion. A rocket with nanobots crashes in to a zoo and the bots get released through a rupture in the container. They infect a salt water croc in the zoo and then begins a killing rampage to get the raw materials they need to turn the croc into an armored vehicle. An ugly, shop worn Dee Wallace turns up as the Fed lead when they track the crash. She is the originator of the bots and works against any containment or kill by using her personal computer. She places no value on human lives and many are lost including many GI's. All wants is field test on her invention. Her character represents all that is wrong with obsessed, prove it at any cost scientists. Thank God there seem to be only a few arouind in real life. Anyway the colonel in charge of the military finally has enough and tries to kill it. The electrify the water and stun/kill it but ugly old Dee restores it through her computer. The croc/bots escape the zoo area and goes into a city so the colonel calls on a Puff. The croc goes underground into the sewers. Jane, zoo biologist, discovers Wallace contacting the creature. Wallace throat chops her and goes into a building, leaving Jane gasping on the ground. Wallace goes in to the sewers to look for her pet creation. Jane has recovered and follows Wallace in the sewers. The colonel has been hit by the croc and as it returns to finish him he uses grenades on the croc, Jane pushes Wallace in front of the injured machine, Corin tosses the explosive charge in to the things craw and Wallace grabs it as the thing draws it back in to a tunnel. Bang the bitch and the croc die, I guess. I mean who knows with the way they do sequels nowadays. Lord I hope they don't with this one.

A rocket carrying nanobots crash lands in a zoo. The nanobots find their way into a huge crocodile that subsequently goes on a rampage. Director Arthur Sinclair keeps the enjoyably asinine story zipping along at a snappy pace, treats the silly premise with admirable seriousness, stages the croc attack scenes with aplomb, and delivers a satisfying smattering of bloody violence. The solid acting from the capable cast helps a lot: Corin Nemec as likeable zookeeper Duffy, Lisa McAllister as spunky biologist Jane, Keith Duffy as jovial gator hunter Nigel Evans, Steven Hartley as the tough Colonel Montgomery, Dee Wallace as the hard-nosed Riley, and Atanas Srebev as sensible park owner Marshall. The dodgy CGI effects possess a certain endearingly cruddy charm. As a tasty plus, we also get lots of hot babes in skimpy bikinis. A neat little B-flick.

What a lousy movie. Wooden acting stupid story and soooooo cheesy it is worse than camembert. Please Do not waste your money guys. I kept nodding off but I paid for it and just had to see the end. The only 2 nice things in this movie are 1) The girls and 2) Keith Duffy gets eaten. He should stick to singing and leave the acting to the professionals. I was in a generous mood and gave this film a 2 because of the amazing looking young chicks in this film. Unfortunately that only lasted all of 5 minutes. They should re-name this film and call it crocofshit. Anybody is entitled to their own opinions of course but to say that this movie was acceptable, what kind of movies have they been watching all their lives? To me this will I am sure be the worst movie of the 21st century.

In this standard sub-par "Syfy" TV Movie, a water park called "Adventure Cove" is terrorized after debris from outer space causes a crocodile named "Stella" to turn robotic and attack people. Resident zoo-keeper Corin Nemec (as Jim Duffy), the man who brought "Stella" to the park, takes the heroic leading role. Newly hired marine biologist Lisa McAllister (as Jane Spencer) arrives, coincidently, to assist. Also appearing are sneaky scientist Dee Wallace (as Riley) and US military man Steven Hartley (as Montgomery). Already making the scene is Mr. Nemec's son Jackson Bews (as Rob). He may stand a chance with attractive Florence Brudenell-Bruce (as Sydney), who arouses with a bikini and other skimpy clothing. More fully dressed, Ms. Wallace is also fun to watch. **** Robo Croc (9/14/013) Arthur Sinclair ~ Corin Nemec, Lisa McAllister, Jackson Bews, Dee Wallace

The military loses a bunch of nano-bots in a zoo where they immediately fly into a crocodile and turn it into a mechanical killer, with an appetite for jailbait in bikinis. Duffy (Corin Nemec- saved the planet also in Dracano) is the knowledgeable zoo keeper and croc wrestler. He is joined by a biologist (Lisa McAllister who played "passenger" in "Dark Knight) who just hired on. In spite of that fact she has nice eyes and he is capable of developing deep feelings for her in about 45 minutes after they show each other their scars. The film is saved by the evil one, Dee Wallace. Dee as you recalled personally rescued 1 star films like "Bonnie & Clyde: Justified," "Hansel & Gretel" "Lords of Salem" and "Exit Humanity." I look forward to seeing her star as Sharon Sommers in the much awaited release of "Zombie Killers: Elephant's Graveyard." I think you get the picture. Not much to see here except the same old stuff. $9.96 Walmart. They rolled the credits real fast at the end, apparently no one wanted to be be known they were connected to the film. The small print on the back is a bit blurry too. Parental Guide: No F-bombs, sex, or nudity. A film you let the kids watch before you go to the zoo.
