Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Every week we rate the robot from a movie, if it gets a score of 7 out of 10 then we say that it is not a shit robot. Today, we have a look at a made-for-TV movie called The Questor Tapes. Will Gene Roddenberry's attempt to get a robot on prime-time telly be any good?
