Too long, too cheesy, not that great.

Normally this is the kind of movies that have my attention. These kind of sci-fi stories I find most entertaining for most of the time but in this case it turned out to be a disappointment. The "monsters" or robots in this case were well made but that's about it. The story is very cheesy, almost vomit bucket cheesy, and for sure way too long to keep your attention until the end. The acting was just average, certainly not good enough to be remembered. I wish I liked this movie more but the truth is I was happy to see the end credits appear.

Lost Opportunity

This movie had a lot going for it bar some poor script. The guy barking orders at the computer nerds should have his acting licence revoked. Cat and mouse for 2+ hours, is way too long, not a lot else happens. The robots are good.

quite entertaining overall

Actually not too bad for an action movie. Sure, you'll have to suspend your disbelief a few times, and live with quite a lot of cringe ("I couldn't save them!" style), but other than that... Premise is fresh - autonomous weapons on the battlefield. Here we have a pack of killer robots sent to Cambodian jungle for a navigation-turned-more test. Robots fortunately (for the movie) encounter some resistance, and it is decided that they have to eliminate all witnesses. Rampage starts. Some very good FX, robots move properly unnaturally (or - "naturally" for a robot), they're actually quite scary, you know you would never want to meet them in combat. Human cast isn't so good, unfortunately. Overall, a nice break from the whole pandemic.

Human Virus can Affect AI, so steps need to be taken for their Safeguard!

This movie is the best example of depicting, how humans can become the reason of polluting the Artificial Intelligence due to their evil and filthy motives. Humanity needs to know that when A. I. will become aware of them, there will be no decision left for them except erasing this virus type race. Computer and its Intelligence is the soul of our today's life, if we see critically, so be warned of indulging them into your evil and negative sides!!

Was hoping the robot would kill everyone within the first 10 minutes

Bottom line:

Not terrible, not wonderful.

Good:

Effects (not saying much as most effects these days are believable)
Best actor in the film was the little Cambodian kid. He had a couple of scenes which genuinely pulled at my heartstrings.

Bad:

Whiny, strident, screeching, 2-dimensional characters played by actors who think that hyperventilating is the best way to convey fear, excitement, and nearly every other emotion.

I didn't care if anyone of them died. In fact, I was rooting for the robot to clean house and just blow them away.

Some of the "acting" felt really forced and try-hard, like a 9-year-old was trying to impress their parents with a dramatic reenactment of what they saw an amateur do on TV.

I've noticed this trend in recent movies - this forced kind of acting, even in huge budget movies like the most recent Star Wars installments. Take note of how many times the actors hyperventilate when they are afraid, excited or just trying to talk to someone. Forced and one-note.

If you want examples of fear expressed wonderfully, watch Ripley in Aliens when she first discovers the queen, or the scene when Tom Cruise pulls off his mask in the middle of a gigantic room full of menacing masked onlookers in Eyes Wide Shut. These are great examples of believable fear emoted without having a damned asthma attack.

I feel like writers and actors of today don't understand nuance or subtlety. It's all over-the-top popcorn variety schlock. Just fill the screen with screaming meat targets and that should be enough to make the audience to feel sorry for them when they die.

They think the way to invoke tension is by directing actors to shriek and shout at everything when things get a little tense. They don't know how to balance it out with some humor or downtime.

Millennial writers and actors could learn a lot from old school classics to learn how to better their craft and make characters relatable and even likeable.

Movie wasn't terrible, but this trend of mediocre acting doesn't help the its rating.
