Battle Drone

Remember when Michael Pare was once a rising A-list movie star in major Hollywood releases? Well, that was such a long time ago, that I would understand why you may think that he has always slummed it in low budget B movies such as this one. Now, I definitely have nothing against B movies - I watch them all the time, and they can be pretty enjoyable at times. But this particular one, while far from the worst I have seen, is pretty bland stuff for the most part. Oh, the director does try to throw in some fancy camera tricks here and there(such as "bullet time" shots), but they come across as pretentious and in-your-face instead of being cool and blowing your mind. But that's not the real problem with this movie. The main problem with the movie is that while there is plenty of action, for the most part it has a very routine and familiar feel to it. It isn't exciting, it doesn't make you care for the protagonists' survival, and it isn't much better than simply showing people casually shooting their guns endlessly. The movie is fairly well photographed, but the pretty look of everything doesn't add much.

Oh, and the title is wrong - it should have been pluralized.

Nothing here screams blockbuster, but a story that didn't seem too cheesy and characters that kept things moving and interesting. Save it for a night when want something with some action but that doesn't make you think too hard and enjoy.

Movie is by no means terrible, not great... But not syfy original bad.

Action scenes are pretty dope, kinda comedic at some points with the slow mo but they also use slow mo quite artistically. Character interactions are fine, sometimes humorous. Acting though isn't half bad, act pretty darn good.

If you're looking for a quick action movie with little plot and just tons of shooting then this is totally it. No regrets in watching it, even if it wasn't all that great.

So sometimes you just want to watch a sloppy movie on your couch and not give a crap. This is one of those movies. It's not that great, but it's not bad at all. The action was decent, not a huge fan of Slomo though. The gun fights were pretty good and each character has their own "class" if you will. You got your heavy gunner, sniper, boom stick, ninja guy, etc. I actually loved watching the super and the ninja kick but. The robots were pretty cool. The first time you see them it looks like terrible cgi. Then later it gets much better. It's like they forgot to take out the bad shot early on. I recommend this if you want a dramaless shooter.

Decent for a B movie. When you start watching it you want to stay till the end.
