Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times It's the end of the world as we know it - once again - in "Revolt," a propulsive, no-nonsense sci-fi thriller that's far more watchable than its generic title may imply. Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Ernesto Zelaya Miñano ScreenAnarchy Any fan of the genre will probably suffer a constant deja-vu. Still, it's interesting enough to remain watchable. Nov 26, 2018 Full Review J.D. Gillam Starburst Revolt is a cut above its brethren and one that you should give some time to. Rated: 7/10 Jan 12, 2018 Full Review Craig D. Lindsey L.A. Weekly Despite its title, Revolt isn't a movie that will incite either revolution or revulsion in viewers. In fact, you might walk away from it with a serious case of whatever. Dec 1, 2017 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com "Revolt" feels incomplete and undernourished in the dramatic department, though Miale isn't aiming for hospital corners with the effort. Rated: C Nov 15, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

robert p Clearly a *C* movie on a very low budget, I gave this movie a try but when I saw the Robot from the invading army I thought how cheesy can CGI get, well know you have been warned this is not even an A or a B movie that's any good! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review william h A- – A soldier wakes up with amnesia in a prison cell in an African country taken over, like the rest of the world, by believable giant alien robots. He eventually meets bright African engineers who have a developed a weapon to defeat the robots. High production values, and I liked the fact that a poor, developing nation is able to battle the technologically superior aliens on their own terms. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member There's some OK looking CGI, used to show us a few unnecessarily complicated looking killer alien robots. That's the best part. The rest is lots of shooting and some bad attempts at presenting some semblance of a story and some characters we're supposed to care about. No. The answer is no. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Making a movie is an incredibly difficult creative/economic endeavor. You have to really want IT! Why? Why did they make this movie? What in it was supposed to be enjoyable interesting or fun? A doctor and an amnesia-suffering soldier go on a trek just a few days as everything in the world was brought down by a massive, global attack. Spoilers... was it the Americans? Why is the soldier, "Bo" drugged? modified? memory-wiped? I don't know and I sure didn't find out, maybe give me a dose of that memory wiping treatment? Why were humans being sucked up into the massive alien craft, just like the most iconic alien invasion story of all time, which will go unnamed as this atrocity should not be in the same review with it. Where did his doctor girlfriend go to (who never did one "doctor" thing in the whole movie, including the scene where he bandages himself! Honestly, what doctor allows another human who is injured to bandage themselves?) If. your answer the kind who administers a chokehold mercy-kill to the bleeding-out photographer they meet on the road, you guessed right! I repeat, he didn't go after "the girl" but disabled and brought a ship like she was hauled into later, having never mentioned her after her abduction. So come on Joe... why did you make this movie... what is it, would you say, that actually did here? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review georgan g Started out on a great note but seemed to lose steam as it went along. Most of the loose ends didn't get tied. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic film! More entertaining than any other sci-fi film out of the bigger Hollywood studios for years. A fresh spin on the classic 'Aliens invade Earth' plot. It focuses solely on the human perspective, especially that of the main character Bo. Highly recommend it. I don't want to put any spoilers, but I will say Lee Pace does a phenomenal job in the lead role of Bo. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
