All of [its] nuances, as well as whatever satirical social commentary the movie wanted to make, are lost in the climax.

Rated: 2/4

Coleman's rush to condemn corporations' profit motive seems too simplistic and skimps on the details of social disintegration that the global agricultural crisis must necessarily provoke.

The last act, though, is a total whiff - too rushed, too riddled with plot holes and too incongruously hopeful to take seriously.

Hover is an expertly crafted horror film focusing on a future almost too close to home.

Starburst

Little effort is made to evoke the seriousness of humanity's predicament, the farm skills of the drones are left sketchy, and in the end, the menace posed by the story's villains does not make much logical sense.

Rated: 6/10

I really enjoyed this movie, it was a thriller that keep you wanting more. The story was explained well and it wasn't just them trying to send out the droids and they just start their plan, it had a reason behind it. I love sci fi and about the future.

The GMO/Monsanto version of They Live? I am always up for a corporate or government conspiracy. Many fiction books and narrative films have a great premise, but then die on the vine. This movie started fairly well, but the third act was unrewarding at best.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Dug it. Pretty insane third act but it works in the way that Starship Troopers works.
