 It stinks Mar 07, 2010
Don't let the cover fool you. This movie doesn't star Katee Sackhoff, though she is in it. I'm not sure where to start on what's wrong with it. It didn't some much have a plot as a bunch scenes strung together where drones get shot and it didn't so much have characters as several people who kill drones. The material, such as it is, is bad and the execution is pretty poor, too. I'll forgive them the crappy effects, which are surely because of budget limitations, but the nonsenesical plot and poor editing and uneven acting are less forgiveable. Forget trying to explain what the movie is about. I can't really explained what happened, such as why the police drones started killing everybody. If you like a bunch of gunfire and stabbing and don't care a lot about it making sense shot-to-shot, much less as an overall story, this may be the movie for you.
Blu ray? Jan 09, 2010
Putting everything else aside, the movie on Blu ray looks like I was watching an old VHS tape. I mean why bother to produce a Blu ray version that looks worse than most standard DVDs?

One star for Katee Sep 04, 2009
I bought this as part of a set of 4 scifi films for few bucks at the local Mart store. I give 1 star for Katee, who plays a supporting role--not the lead--in the movie, and zero stars for the rest. I should have spent the money at the fast food for lunch.

Only buy it if you are a Sci-fi collector... Jun 06, 2009
...who has the urge to watch all there is, even the junk. Throughout the movie I kept thinking that its ideas, if well developed here and there, could turn out into a good movie. Maybe they could have waited to get more budget. However, it seems that the movie was hurried out the door. Its cheap looks, lack of special effects (hilarious reuse of the same locations over and over again), the crude "shoot the scene once and I'm-outta here" action scenes, etc, etc, left the appreciation depend too much of the imagination and goodwill of the viewer.
To give you an idea of how bad it looked, my initial impression of it was of those B-movies made for TV which young actors take part in the beginning of their careers, and older actors when there is absolutely nothing left. Honestly I thought that this was something from 8 years ago because Katee Sackhoff had done such a good job at BattleStar Galactica that it only made sense for this movie to be one of her "young actor" stepping stones. So after watching it, I looked for the release date, and to my surprise, it's from 2007, after she had already acquired cult level stardom at BattleStar Galactica.
She (and Don Wilson, Bokeem, and Keith Davis) must be very upset (p***ed off is a better term) to have been set up in participating of such a low budget, low resources movie. Maybe even Jesse Johson was duped into letting his budding idea into the hands of such a low budget production. and most likely in the end he had to direct it on autopilot, with cheap effects and scrap metal, to fulfill contractual obligations.
If you ever wanted an example of how good ideas can be brought down by a low level production, this is it. Hopefully this will be a forgotten episode in the career of all those involved, and it won't come back to tarnish their reputations.

It is my duty to warn others May 23, 2009
Watched this last night and couldn't believe how horribly bad this movie was. It starts out ok, explosions - gun play - robots. Then it keeps going like that until the end.
You would swear that you are watching a video game - that's the plot.
For the record, I like Sci-fi, action movies and the like, but this movie is just bad. The drones can not shoot the humans even when they're 10 feet in front of them - it happens so many times throughout the movie it becomes predicable (like the plot).
I bought this for cheap and feel ripped off.
