Android Uprising

I love B science-fiction movies and expect bad CGI, cheesy effects, questionable writing, and uneven acting, and this movie has that in spades. I also expect a semi-coherent plot. This film doesn't come close.

The CGI was good for the genre. There was a fair attempt at world-building and the initial plot was interesting although I'm told it was ripped from "Surrogates". The plot then became extremely and needlessly convoluted. The confusing ending left too many unanswered questions. The romantic arc of the main characters was also rushed and did not feel marginally genuine. The requisite sex scene was shoe-horned into wherever they could fit it in, it would seem.

With better editing and more exposition this movie could be almost passable for a dedicated, B-movie buff like myself.

The problem here, is a writer and director who don't know what genre they want to make, or what universe they're setting it in. They start with post-Terminator, try to segway in to Ghost in the Shell or Bubblegum Crisis, with a poor attempt of a cop-buddy film and ideas ripped straight out of Surrogates, all while trying to look like bad Blade Runner clone. There's more missed focus shots and fuzzy audio then a Nolan film, along with amateur hour framing, set dressing and CG that looks like first year film school efforts. There's brief nudity that doesn't serve any story based purpose, and more creative writing in the reviews then in the film. It wouldn't matter if this was filled with Oscar winners, nothings' going to save this turkey from the slaughterhouse.

I mean the uprising in my stomach while watching this garbage. I share the other reviewer's puzzlement, ie how do movies this dire ever get a release? OK, I understand that some people will watch anything you put in front of them but surely there aren't enough of them to make pablum like this even remotely profitable? And if there are then I have real concerns about the future of the human race.

They tried with the FX some parts are not that bad but the acting is terrible.

I am not sure why they do those movies, because its clearly not for profit.

If this film was stripped back to its base elements and was taken down a different path I see the potential. This movie feels like someone got the not shown B plots of a different movie, deleted that movie then stretched the B plots to fit a hour twenty. The story comes full circle and by that I mean you spend that time trying to follow this and find you are back at the beginning and have gone nowhere.
