Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
stevehylton-1 I picked this title up in a Dollar General bin, which is something I enjoy doing to find bad movies. This one isn't bad.It's British... which pleasantly surprised me (I had read nothing about this movie obviously), the humor was Britsih, settings British... how refreshing to not see a Sci-Fi movie set in a big city... just normal people.It had Gillian Anderson which is never a bad thing.The story was simple, and the ending obvious, but still... It was fun, the effects weren't bad, the dialogue had humor and Ben Kingsly as a bad guy made me smile.It's 90 minutes of unpretentious fun, try it.
kosmasp Or something along those lines. Though to be fair, younger audiences won't care much about some of the downfalls of this movie and will probably cherish the young characters and the plot surrounding them. It's empowering to and for them to see those kids go and be strong where adults can not be.Having said that, it will take adults a lot more to actually like this. Like being able to ignore convenient things just happening like that. The discovery (or "inciting" incident) also seems to be too small or too obvious to have never happened before. The whole control thing (or rebelling against) may be a hint at rebellion in general (and growing up and all the things one has to go through), but it's not well connected. The effects are OK, the story is really full of clichés to say the least
Claudio Carvalho After eleven days of war, robots from outer space domain the earthlings. People receive implants and are confined inside their houses while collaborators distribute supplies for the families. The teenager Sean Flynn (Callan McAuliffe) misses his father Danny (Steven Mackintosh), who is a pilot, and his mother Kate (Gillian Anderson) is constantly harassed by the collaborator Robin Smythe (Ben Kingsley). One day, Sean, his teenage friends Nathan (James Tarpey) and his sister Alexandra (Ella Hunt) and the orphan boy Connor (Milo Parker) accidentally discover how to turn off the implants for thirteen hours, using a battery with damaged contacts. The leave their house during the curfew to seek out Danny and soon Sean discovers that he has the ability of controlling the robots. Meanwhile Smythe is hunting them down. Will the youngsters succeed in their intent?"Robot Overlords" is a watchable sci-fi that is sort of Terminator and Transformers franchises entwined in a silly story for teens. The film entertains but despite the names of Ben Kingsley and Gillian Anderson, it is only reasonable. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Sob o Domínio dos Robôs" ("Under the Domain of the Robots")
filiphfredriksson Having seen a trailer and looking it up here, i hesitated first to go and see it but i finally did and was not disappointed. The story may seem a little thin but the actors and the special effects is not bad for independent film. Ben Kingsley is excellent and you could not tell that he's past 70. Many of the others acts well and i see no overacting. The pace is changing throughout the film and i enjoyed it. I found it entertaining with a good mix of action and humor and not relying too much on special effects but it does feel a bit short at times. I hope this film gets another chance at the video store since i think it deserves more credit then it got on the cinema. It's good acting and good filming locations. Worth watching.
