It is a performances centric movie

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

In a futuristic setting automated drones which were initially created to help humans have rebelled and are now attempting to destroy all of mankind. The only chance available to the human race are electronically enhanced soldiers who are patched into the computerized rifle they carry with an eye cap implant. The computerization is so advanced that it becomes a part of the soldier and communicates verbally with him. However, the drones are even more advanced and after several hard-fought battles only one soldier by the name of "Tallis" (Don Wilson) is left alive. As luck would have it though he manages to rescue an injured woman (played by Katee Sackhoff) who belongs to a "para-military" group desperately attempting to destroy a drone communication center. Although she is nowhere near as capable as Tallis she at least gives him a long-lost sense of purpose and they soon team up to fight the numerically superior drone army by themselves. Anyway, rather than detail any more of the film and possibly spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that while there was plenty of action it could have been much better if it had had a better script. Be that as it may, those who enjoy apocalyptic sci-fi films might find something to like but even so it's still not a top-of-the-line movie by any means. That said I have to rate it as slightly below average.

Rough'n'tumble electronically enhanced super-soldier Tallis (Don Wilson in strong rugged form) joins forces with a scrappy young gal (winningly played with feisty gusto by fetching blonde Katee Sackhoff) to defeat an army of lethal drones who have taken over the planet. Writer/director Jesse V. Johnson relates the entertaining story at a snappy pace, maintains an appropriately serious and gritty tone throughout, stages the exciting action set pieces with rip-snorting aplomb, brings a likable Grade B pulpy sensibility to the mean'n'lean unpretentious material, and delivers plenty of graphic bloody carnage. The engaging chemistry between Wilson and Sackhoff keeps the picture humming. Moreover, Keith David does lively double duty as both the hard-nosed Col. Norton and the robust voice of an old gung-ho gun, Bokeem Woodbine registers well as Tallis' gutsy combat partner Anchilles, and Dawnn Lewis provides lots of charming spunk as the sultry voice of Tallis' loyal rifle Angel. The sharp cinematography by Robert Hayes gives the movie a funky dusty'n'desolate look and makes neat use of wipes. Marcello De Francisco's spirited score hits the stirring spot. A really fun flick.

Good Sci-Fi films are few and far apart. You need loads of money (like Starship Troopers) or inspired, genius film crews (like Cube).This has none of that. The production values are rock bottom, I think the actors probably had to bring their own sandwiches to set.But like most cheap films it is not the lack of money that lets it down. All the sets are over lit and immaculately clean so you can't shake that 'I'm in a studio' feel and the combat scenes (like all cheap movies) consist of a group of extras standing bolt up-right unleashing a hail of bullets to off-screen left, the camera then switches to the good guys crouching behind a barrel firing off-screen right.The good guys blatantly wear bicycle helmets, but no one cared enough to cruise the charity shops long enough to get a vaguely matching set.This film was hampered by bad writing and lack of money, but it was a lack of love and commitment that killed it.Gets a star for a scene where you see Starbuck topless (from behind, in the dark)

Where to begin? You know a movie is going to be bad if Don 'The Dragdown' Wilson in on board. I rented this solely because Katee Sackhoff (BSG) is in it, but even then didn't have high hopes and it certainly delivered in the low expectations department. I even like Keith David (Pitch Black, They Live, There's Something About Mary) but, apparently he'll do anything for a buck. Thankfuly Bokeem Woodbine got killed off early, sort of like opting out like Burt Reynolds did in 'Deliverance' to avoid further humiliation.Other commentators pointed out the numerous flaws: There's always a nice pool of water when you need one, treating a wound means wiping away blood with a Kleenex, etc. Other flaws include: Craptastic acting, cheesy effects, bargain bin Halloween costumes for the 'clone' soldiers and the fact that it was like a volcano of dung, spewing forth giant chunks of steaming hot manure that seemed to embed itself wherever it landed.Read this and save yourself a few bucks....The 'story' is basically what happens when technology we created to protect us takes over and sees us as the threat and picks us off (Battlestar Galactica, The Terminator I,II,III, ED in Robocop). Unfortunately, this movie doesn't even have the budget of a Hardee's commercial and so instead of decent looking cyborgs, we get a bunch of guys who look like they returned from a BMX rally. Anyway, blah blah blah, side shot of a boob, explosion, explosion, explosion, blah blah, kung fu face off... the end.
