Released in 2014, this movie plays out like a movie version of the TV series K9 (2009-10) as both has a robot dog from the future and Roborex features a machine that is like the Space-Time Manipulator from K9. However Professor Apocalypse (Star Trek: Voyager alum Ethan Phillips) is essentially the opposite to K9's Professor Gryffen (Robert Moloney) as Professor Apocalypse is the villain. Roborex makes a sacrifice here just K9 did in Doctor Who: School Reunion. The Adventures of Roborex is not particularly good family film but is not entirely terrible.
