On the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, we will be posting one full movie every other day throughout the week, giving viewers the chance to watch them entirely free of charge. The Free Movie of the Day we have for you today is the sci-fi adventure The Bobot, and you can watch it over on the YouTube channel linked above, or you can just watch it in the embed at the top of this article.

Directed by Max Ksjonda from a screenplay written by Ivan Timshyn, The Bobot has the following synopsis: 12-year old dreamer Vlad likes telling fantastic stories about his courage to his summer camp friends, although he is a bit of a coward himself. But one day Vlad finds himself in a real adventure as he accidentally gets caught in a conflict between two alien forces. Shapeshifting Trashmen, descendants of an ancient alien civilization, try to disable electricity on the whole planet by deactivating the defensive shield that protects the Earth from an approaching solar wave. In this way they challenge the all-powerful and mysterious Energy that enabled humanity’s technological progress and which we depend on more than ever. In this battle Vlad is helped by a transformer box called the Bobot, which holds the key to saving the world. While telling stories about fictional courage is easy, Vlad will find out that overcoming his fear in the real world is quite a challenge. Mankind’s future lies solely in his hands.

The film stars Ivanna Borodai, Volodymyr Rashchuk, Taras Shevchenko, Arsen Shavlyuk, and Viktor Grigoriev.

Ksjonda made a couple short films before taking the helm of The Bobot as his feature directorial debut. He has directed another short film and a music video in the five years since The Bobot was first released, but hasn’t made another feature yet. He does have one that’s said to be “in development”, though: a thriller called Tank, about a 12-year-old boy discovering a World War II tank in a forest.
