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.

I enjoy watching these movies even though you can say the same thing about every single one of them over and over, they were made to be this cheesy and that is all determined about how much fun you had while watching it and this one certainly had it's moments but on the whole I didn't really find that much to be entertained by.Enter lead 1 and lead 2, One man and one woman - work at a zoo when a spaceship experiment malfunctions and the nanobots inside it inhabit the body of a crocodile and begin to make it mechanical. The zoo-workers are perplexed when the military appears and the crocodile starts to swim around because it's connected to both a lake and a water park. The rest is literally almost every single cliché imaginable.I mean it when I say that not even to a point of it being laughed off, I mean tell me if any of these shock you or if you've seen them before... The 2 leads fall in love despite the fact that they just met, There's this obvious bad guy in the military that wants their science experiment alive, The monster doesn't die the first time, the male lead must go and rescue his son from said monster, his son also has a romance with someone he barely knows and this time she has the acting range of my computer speakers and the last cliché - a character we barely know sacrifices himself to stop the monster in the last 5 minutes. I mean in Sharktopus and Sharknado it had just as many clichés - if not more but with them I found an extreme self awareness to it - like they know full well what they're making will be laughed at just by the title but I didn't really finding myself laughing at it.So for a movie about a metallic crocodile breaking loose and causing havoc - I'm underwhelmed

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

OK, so, we know that the writers of SyFy movies have a thing for tornadoes, sharks, crocodilians, cyborgs, and all manner of mythical monsters. They mix and match at will, things that go together, and those that don't. And they like those things to be big. They've given us things like Alien Tornado, Metal Tornado, Ice Twisters, Dinocroc, Supergator, Supergator vs Dinocroc, Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus, Megaconda, Crocogator, Mega Python vs Gatoroid, Ragin Cajun Redneck Gators, Dinoshark, Ghost Shark, Sharktopus, Sharknado, and the list goes on (I made up one of those movie names. Can you tell which one?).I try to rate SyFy movies fairly, only comparing them to other SyFy offerings, because, to be honest, they stand alone. I mean, you just have to sit back and laugh when a movie called Chupacabra vs The Alamo is shown. In that regard, I think Robocroc was above average. You've got your nanite-infested zoo crocodile that turns into metal and jumps through the air and chomps its way through a helicopter. What's not to like? You even get "robocroc view", seeing things through the robocroc's eyes, a la The Terminator ("Food Detected").My only problem at this point is that the writers of these things seem to be stuck in a loop they can't escape. They keep going over the same, well trodden ground. These movies are missing something basic; creativity. Where are the cool things we haven't seen before? Where are the space aliens? Ah well, with these budgets, I guess you can't be too fussy.So let us guess what will be next- I'm thinking Robocroc vs Sharkinator.
