Patrick S Low budget robot apocalypse movie. Not much new here. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/07/22 Full Review bryan b Terminator or even a close knock off this is not. More like Terminator Genisys. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review spencer n Surprisingly interesting movie and for a movie with almost no dialog unusually gripping. I recommend this movie for those that might like the artsy yet futuristic nature of "another end of the world" movie. There are so many..... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review harris r An utterly long, boring, and amateur production. I appreciate and support newb filmmakers (of which they aren't entirely new), even more when their film is independently funded, but there's no excuse for such long dragged out nonsense in the lazy writing. It was just once scene after the other of the exact same nonsense - running, hiding, laser rays, repeat. The normally just-right 94 min runtime felt like almost 3 hours with the long dragged out and mostly unnecessary scenes, and the slow pacing. Aside from this story being told so many times before - all much better, there was just way too much filler and very little substance. Had this been chopped down to a 15 min or so short film, it would've shined, and made the dialogue-less 94 min runtime more bearable. I get that the machines have great hearing, but I doubt it was better than the aliens in "A Quiet Place", so being in a basement with nothing in sight for miles and zero dialogue, is lazy writing imo. Giving the viewer all this filler and expecting them to do all your work to figure out what's going on, in place of dialogue, is writing I'd expect from a 5th grade drama class. Never mind the cringeworthy plot and technical issues. Again, lack of funding is no excuse for lazy and sloppy writing. What this film did have going for it, was an great score and excellent cinematography. The aerial views were all on point, but the irrelevant sudden shots of flower, bugs on the ground, etc, was just amateur directing and the cherry on top for the wasted whipped cream filler. The "machines" looked decent on the screen for the most part, but those CGI explosions and laser beams were a laughable 1970's quality. Even the editing (was there any?) was horrible. So never mind the current four reviews of 7, 8, 9 and 10/10 (hmm, I see a pattern), this is a very generous 5/10 from me.
