Release Date:

January 16, 2015

Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Four Hispanic high school students form a robotics club. With no experience, 800 bucks, used car parts and a dream, this rag tag team goes up against the country’s reigning robotics champion, MIT.”

Poster: D

Review: What kind of movie are we actually getting? This poster doesn’t fit at all with what we’ve seen in the trailer. There’s little that’s inspirational about this design, which is a hindrance for this type of film.

Trailer: D / B-

Review: (#1) This initial trailer establishes early on that we’re being set up to witness an amalgam of every other inspirational teacher drama ever produced. That doesn’t make it seem so exciting. Which may be why they released trailer #2. (#2) This one has some of the standard genre tropes, but has a few extra elements that seem a bit fresher. It also allows George Lopez to shine a bit, which could mean all the difference in the world to the film’s success.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
