Best movie ever!
... View MoreHow wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreNever left a review but honestly if you are critiquing a film called robot overlords then I can imagine you leaving a food critic review for turd lasagne. At what point did you think a film called robot overlords would be a blockbuster, who do you think your helping!? It's obvious it is what it is! However I'm glad you took the time out of your schedule of complaining to your energy provider,bank,isp, water company and your local supermarket to state the obvious!P.s Don't be shite to the actors they've got bills to pay, your waisting your time for free! You are a fart on humanity you only serve a purpose to be laughed at get sick of and then forget :p
... View MoreThis is a terrible movie. I couldn't even make fun of it. It's like a really bad episode of the Twilight Zone. If you are a sci-fi fan, the story and subsequent plot holes will infuriate you.The most exciting part of the story is the war of 11 days in which the Robot Overlords managed to conquer humanity. This pinnacle event is told and not shown in 3 lines of text over a black background.Flash forward to the dystopian future where humanity has been placed under house arrest for 4 years. Cabin fever is at a peak as humanity struggles by being fit, apparently well fed, cleanly groomed with access to showers, beauty products, and laundered, tailored designer clothing. How will humanity escape their implants which may or may not do something? How do our heroes not suffer permanent damage from being repeatedly electrocuted? What is the robot master plan?Use your imagination, you will probably come up with something better
... View MoreWe all love a great big robot with a throbbing piece (I meant a gun)and this film has them – by the bucket load – or is that 'circuit board load? Set in the UK (actually filmed mostly in Northern Ireland) we have been invaded by huge robots – who just like politicians 'never lie'. They are here to study all life forms and have imposed a curfew on all humans – except the Quisling types who actively collaborate – led by a sneeringly objectionable Ben Kingsley. ** Plot Spoiler a bit further down** People are monitored by some sort of electronic tag that alerts the nasty machines if you do anything naughty and they come after you. Well if you are caught doing anything these robots don't like then you are sort of vaporised. Then the heroes – all kids – discover how to turn their tags off (like some of the crims we currently do this to). Then off they go on their plucky way to reunite families, start a resistance and save the world!Is this any good though? Well no its utter rubbish and it knows it and that is why it is great fun. On the check list there are all the ingredients. An unambiguously evil enemy? –Check. Over the top performances straight out of Victorian melodrama? – Check. Some big names? – Check and double check – Gillian 'X Files' Anderson is the mum! References to how great Britain used to be? –Check – even got a Spitfire!! Ludicrous stunts that defy death and gravity? – Completely Check! Pesky kids straight out of Scooby Doo? – Just keep those checks coming.But as I said it does all this on purpose and so it is not only forgivable it is actually endearing, you can watch this with the kids, mind you they may say you need to watch something more adult. Also it is a perfect length at 90 minutes – for some good old fashioned sciency fictiony fun, then you can't go far wrong with this.
... View MoreGreetings from Lithuania."Robot Overlords" (2014) (THAT title!) is campy as hell, but entertaining as well. Turn your brains off, lower you expectations to a minimum, and if you love sci-fi genre no matter movies budget, you can enjoy it as well.I won't go into details of this movie plot, in short it would be : big transformer-type (can transform only to a box actually) alien robots overtake the earth and after some major battles (which due to budget issues were left off screen of course) makes a curfew - all human must stay inside of their houses. Some of them ( Ben "The Paycheck" Kingsley) work for robots as the some sort of supervision of people. After some blah blah blah happens our main hero gets some superpowers and it's time to kick some robot's as-xx. (THAT story!). As offensive or ironic i might sound, but i actually enjoyed this movie for what it is - a low budget sci-fi adventure. Speciall effects are actually pretty good here, and i even enjoyed them more then in recently seen "Insurgent" - seriously. Ben Kingsley - i have no idea what he thought when reading this script - probably as an Englisman tried to help his countrymen in giving his name in this movie - there are no other explanation here, he couldn't do it for money, even N.Cages has more self respect.Overall, turn you brains out, lower your expectations, and skip 4.6 rating at IMDb - this movie is fun if you are willing to go with the plot and premise. It is definitely not bad flick, there are far more worse big budget extravagances out there then this low-budget flick.
