A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
... View MoreKill Command: Near Future SF Film. Marines, a Cyborg, a training mission and a Rogue AI, what could possibly go wrong? Cyborg computer scientist Mills (Vanessa Kirby) notices some anomalies in signals from an AI at the Harbinger training facility on a remote island. She joins a Marine unit led by Captain Bukes (Thure Lindhardt) and Sergeant Drifter (David Ajala) on a two day training/testing mission on the island. The others are unaware that Mills is investigating possible malfunctions. As the Marines engage battle robots, Mills encounters a S.A.R. (Study Analyze Reprogram) robot but is unable to reprogram it. That night the SAR kills a Marine, using his body to lure the unit into an ambush where they are attacked by advanced battle robots controlled by the SAR.The Rogue AI story has been done many times before but this is an interesting SF/Action film. The Marines trudge through a hilly temperate tropical forest as they fight for their lives against the advanced robots. The SAR has aspects of the Alien Queen about it, especially as it comes face to face with Mills. The camaraderie of the mixed sex troopers and suspicion of Mills resembles that of the space marines in Aliens. Mills herself is able to wifi interface with robots and AIs through her chips and tech implanted when she was eleven.Drones watching everything, communication with the outside world cut off. Battling robots in a misty forest, using the trees for shelter. Enough to bring on primeval panic well captured by cinematographer Simon Dennis. Uses a lot of the usual tropes but to good effect with eye-catching drone, robot and VTOL craft design. Directed and written by Steven Gomez. 7/10. On Netflix.
... View MoreKill Command is a really well done budget sci-fi film. It's so well done you might forget it's a budget film. As others have noted the script could be better at parts, but overall the script is more than adequate and the rest of the film is so well done I didn't even notice the script until I read other reviews.Really well done film. Kudos to the cast and crew.
... View MoreThe plot is an old one rehashed but I do not mind that. It's an honest question we as a society obviously are asking ourselves. The production value is top notch. They gave her all they had in the action sequences. This was a fun watch. It could have been longer with a well written script, but it was a lot of fun none the less. I do suggest you watch it.
... View MoreThis was painful to watch. I never reviewed a movie on this site before, but I just created an account to rate this one. I would rate it -20 if I could. It was mainly the script as is often the case these days. Whoever was involved in the production of this should find another job. The actors were fine, and the special effects were fine.
