Robot Wars (1993) In the far flung future of 2041, toxic gasses have caused the world to split into two opposing factions hoping to establish dominance in the desert wastelands through the use of giant robots. Alas, the only thing that results from this promising setup is a bunch of annoying people standing around corridors and talking... like, a lot. Okay, every so often, as the nearly non-existent budget allows, some admittedly cool looking stop-motion robots do get into light skirmishes, but nowhere near enough to save this slog.
TIL: The Church has warned against the use of Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS), or killer robots if you will, including AI operated military drones, unmanned vehicles, or missiles. It is believed the use of "self-learning" LAWS, devoid of human reason, could lead to the indiscriminate targeting of non-combatants in order to maximize efficiency, which violates the just warfare principle of distinction.
