Good start, but then it gets ruined

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I am actually watching this film right now on syfy, was a little dubious at first, we have so much in the way as low budget features being created at an independent level, I feel this film does deserve some credit.The sets, some of them at least are brilliant, would not say no to having access to some of those myself. Directing, well, I say this as a film director myself, I learn all the time, both manually and technically.Story though, I feel this could have been developed much better, like the characters, they need development through the film as they become introduced to the audiences, personally, I feel this wasn't done to much effect.On a technical note, my only issue was the poor lighting scenes and the grainy picture, this is a problem with many low budget films and a lack of ability to light appropriately, it doesn't happen in every dark scene thankfully and I have seen worse grain on other films when in confined, dark spaces (Wolf Creek, a good film, let down by this technical issue), my only other little issue is with some of the effects, it's 50/50, some are orchestrated brilliantly, others are more 'what the hell was that?', but it's much cheaper to create and exploding head in edit than it is on the set I guess.So I rated it 6, it could have had some great potential, but hey, it got a sale and since I am in the same industry right now of low budget features have the utmost respect for those who made this film

Don the Dragon Wilson stars as a soldier trying to battle the sentinel police robots that were suppose to watch over mankind and instead sought to wipe us out. He hooks up with a girl and a dog and try to win freedom...Been there done that film is okay, but suffers from a total lack of reality. Nothing looks real, this is not a post apocalyptic world and the drones are little more then men in suits and it all looks fake taking away a great deal of fun. This might have been something had it been set in a world you could believe in. Wait for the SCIFI channel showing because you know its coming.

1. Some of the effects (dustclouds, some of the early bullet wounds - SOME) are quite nice. 2. The overall experience with the main character build in AI. 3. Conan o Brian has a small part around 1:17-18, decent work but the talk show host feeling ruined the little feeling the moment had.The concept was OK, but the realisation terrible, as a sci-fi fan (not hardcore) i found some parts a little entertaining as mentioned but overall this movie (IF ever viewed) is spent best with a side activity (surfing or whatnot).***A WARNING*** This specially goes out to those with tactical experience, you will get annoyed or laugh your way through some parts (even though it isn't meant as a parody).EDIT: This movie has been astroturfed (to boost ratings), I just hope my review does not get deleted for pointing that out. Be warned this is not a 4/10 movie, it could have been if a lot of things were different (within the same budget), but it's not.

Where to begin? You know a movie is going to be bad if Don 'The Dragdown' Wilson in on board. I rented this solely because Katee Sackhoff (BSG) is in it, but even then didn't have high hopes and it certainly delivered in the low expectations department. I even like Keith David (Pitch Black, They Live, There's Something About Mary) but, apparently he'll do anything for a buck. Thankfuly Bokeem Woodbine got killed off early, sort of like opting out like Burt Reynolds did in 'Deliverance' to avoid further humiliation.Other commentators pointed out the numerous flaws: There's always a nice pool of water when you need one, treating a wound means wiping away blood with a Kleenex, etc. Other flaws include: Craptastic acting, cheesy effects, bargain bin Halloween costumes for the 'clone' soldiers and the fact that it was like a volcano of dung, spewing forth giant chunks of steaming hot manure that seemed to embed itself wherever it landed.Read this and save yourself a few bucks....The 'story' is basically what happens when technology we created to protect us takes over and sees us as the threat and picks us off (Battlestar Galactica, The Terminator I,II,III, ED in Robocop). Unfortunately, this movie doesn't even have the budget of a Hardee's commercial and so instead of decent looking cyborgs, we get a bunch of guys who look like they returned from a BMX rally. Anyway, blah blah blah, side shot of a boob, explosion, explosion, explosion, blah blah, kung fu face off... the end.
