Welcome to the latest installment in our regular Movies You May Have Missed series here on Nerdly, in which I highlight some of, what I think, are the best movies that have flown under the radar of many or have been “forgotten” in the intervening years since its release. This time round its the action sci-fi Robotropolis.
Stars: Zoe Naylor, Graham Sibley, Edward Foy, Lani John Tupu, Jourdan Lee | Written and Directed by Christopher Hatton
Official Synopsis:
A group of reporters are covering the unveiling of a new facility that is completely maintained by robot prototypes. When one of the robots goes haywire, the reporters find themselves not just reporting on the malfunction, but fighting for their lives.
My Thoughts:
Aussie actress Zoe Naylor, who you may remember from creature-feature The Reef, takes the lead in the second full length feature from writer-turned-director Christopher Hatton, and like his previously film...

Juliette's final Revisiting Farscape piece selects the show's best 10 episodes. And that's your lot...
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been flying down Memory Wormhole, looking at all sorts of aspects of Farscape – the exotic aliens, the dramatic concluding mini-series, the madness, the leather. To conclude our look back at the show that enriched our vocabulary with such phrases as ‘what in the hezmana,’ here we celebrate the very best of Farscape’s 88 regular episodes, highlighting in particular those things Farscape does best – epic romance, awesome spectacle and sheer madness.
10. Liars, Guns and Money Parts I, II and III (Season Two)
Remind me what the frell is going on: D’Argo’s son is about to be sold into slavery, but it’s Ok – Stark knows a bank our heroes can rob to get the money to buy him (and 9,999 other slaves). Unfortunately,...

Juliette talks us through Farscape's top 5 puppets in space, with help from the Scarrans, Vorks, and Hynerians...
One of the most common criticisms levelled at Star Trek over the years has been that it depicts a universe almost entirely populated by humanoids, or humanoids with bumpy foreheads. Now, we think this is a trifle unfair for a couple of reasons; first, various Trek series did occasionally experiment with such non-humanoid alien life forms as sentient rocks (Original Series, The Devil in the Dark) or giant space jellyfish (Next Generation, Encounter at Farpoint) and second, there are practical, financial reasons most aliens have to be humanoid. However, it remains true that sentient life in the universe of Star Trek and most other space operas tends toward the humanoid.
One of the things that set Farscape apart from the beginning was the physical variation in...

Only one Australian feature film has so far made it into official selection for the 69th Venice International Film Festival.
Disaster-shark film Bait 3D, directed by Kimble Rendall, will screen out of competition at the prestigious film festival, it was announced overnight.
The film sees a group of shoppers trapped in an underground supermarket after a tsunami strikes the coast which has sent a school of sharks into the building.
The film, produced by Arclight Films, was shot on the Gold Coast at Village Roadshow Studios in 2010. It stars Xavier Samuel, Julian McMahon, Sharni Vinson and Dan Wylie. It will be distributed in the Us by Anchor Bay Films.
The Out of Competition section is billed as ‘important works by directors already established in previous editions of the festival.’
While no Australian feature film made it into competition in the prized Venezia 69 program, two Australian short films will screen in competition in the Orizzonti program,...

Robotropolis
Stars: Zoe Naylor, Graham Sibley, Edward Foy, Lani John Tupu, Jourdan Lee | Written and Directed by Christopher Hatton
Aussie actress Zoe Naylor, whom we last saw in creature-feature The Reef, takes the lead in the second full length feature from writer-turned-director Christopher Hatton, and like his previously film Avatar (no, not That one) the film is yet another future tale, this time based on the age old sci-fi cliche of robots – built for servitude – rising up and attacking their human masters.
Robotropolis takes place in a South East Asian community called New Town, a futuristic utopia built buy a global oil conglomerate to home the workers at a large petrochemical platform, where robots carry out the many mudane and often day-to-day tasks, including help run the oil platform, in a complete integration of man and machine. When a Gnn news crew are sent to report on the idyll that...

For as long as there have been movies, there have been tales of robots eventually wiping out the human race. From Metropolis to The Terminator, the fear of sentient machines is a palpable one, and in Robotropolis Armageddon is just a sprocket away.
Directed by Christopher Hatton (writer "Star Trek: The Next Generation") and starring Zoe Naylor, Graham Sibley, and Lani Tupu, you can dig on the early teaser art and the trailer below.
Synopsis
A group of reporters are covering the unveiling of a new facility that is completely maintained by robot prototypes. When one of the robots goes haywire, the reporters find themselves not just reporting on the malfunction, but fighting for their lives.

This set has been a long time coming for fans of the popular space saga but also for someone like myself who never got a chance to take the journey that is Farscape.
Dubbed as Muppets in space, this sci-fi jaunt is so much more. Its Buck Rogers meets Babylon 5 with yes…muppets.
Whats key with the series, that you’ll find on this dvd experience, is that it is dated a bit, but whats fascinating is that the series really came out of the sci-fi comfort zone of the Star Trek formula. It certainly along with Babylon 5 at the time really pushed the genre in a different direction probably leading to creatives to lean into the reboot of Battlestar Galactica and the newly favored Sgu.
The series went beyond the bridge of a starship and showed other elements to the worlds beyond combining sexy and edgy motifs...

Woohoo! About time, eh?
This set is sure to satisfy fans and, hopefully, birth a bunch of new ones. This show was a groundbreaking, head-spinning forray into intergalactic war, alternate realities, and puppets. Awesome puppets.
Rarely given its due by the network that spawned it, this is the perfect chance to revisit or discover the rag-tag, misfit crew aboard Moya.
The full press release as follows:
New York, NY – When a freak accident during an experimental space mission catapulted Astronaut John Crichton (Ben Browder) across a thousand galaxies to an alien battlefield, a groundbreaking cult classic was born with the epic, adventure-filled TV series “Farscape”.
On November 17, the award-winning fan favorite show, which ran from 1999-2003 on Sci Fi and was named by TV Guide as one of television’s best cult shows ever, will commemorate its 10th Anniversary with the very first complete packaging of the series. Featuring all 88 episodes on 25 discs,...
