RoboCop contained perhaps the most absurd and unrealistic plot out of any movie I have ever seen. The plot was essentially about a police officer that suffered severe injuries from a car bomb, and then became a “robot” with a human brain and human lungs who fought crime as a “RoboCop.”

The movie opened with footage of several United States robots roaming the streets in a Middle Eastern street, periodically scanning anyone on the street. Not only did they intrusively scan free citizens at their will, but they were also extremely loud and obnoxious, and for some reason they spoke to these Middle Eastern citizens in English. Today, there is significant controversy over the United States’ usage of a few numbers of small drones in the Middle East, so it is impossible to say that, within the next two decades, robotic men and two-story-tall machines will frequent the streets of a Middle Eastern country and have the ability to kill anyone these robots deem to be a threat.

Furthermore, the movie showed a supposed cutting-edge research lab with clients in prosthetic limbs that were significantly inferior to current prosthetic limbs – despite the fact that this move was supposed to take place several years in the future. These prosthetic limbs were essentially open-circuit machines that made obnoxious noises whenever they moved.

Although several well-done sci-fi movies have featured unrealistic plots, RoboCop’s plot was different because its setting was the United States less than two decades from now. This movie forced an implausible plot that could only happen centuries from now in a completely different planet into our current society only a few years from now. I strongly encourage anyone that’s even entertaining the thought of watching RoboCop to save their money and their time.
