Kill Command is a solid Sci-fi low budget movie, it's the first credit for Steven Gomez who wrote and directed the movie that makes me curious what is next from him, from the begging of the movie you know that you are going to watch a well-made movie.
The plot of the movie is very simple, right to the point from the beginning of the movie, there are no useless points to fill the movie with it as we see in many movies these days, a group of trainees going for their regular training but something will happen will make them never to forget this training, the script really supports the movie because it is very well written and performed, IN THE OTHER HAND there are of course some plot holes and staff but personally i didn't focus on them that much, also it could have been better if they gave us more details, also the ending was very mysterious which was a little disappointed for me but i think it worked too.
The cinematography in the movie was great, the CGI looks awesome, even with a low budget, flawless CGI and visual effects which looks even better than a lot of high budget movies, I think that the fact that Steven Gomez works a lot in the visual effects department could have helped him,right?, IN THE OTHER HAND sometimes the robots looks a little weird but that happened just a few times.
The acting as everything in the movie is very solid, a group of mid- known actors each one of them played his role as it should be played and again it was very controlled by the director, awesome performance by the group leader Thure Lindhardt...Captain Bukes and Vanessa Kirby...Mills which added a lot to the movie, IN THE OTHER HAND there are moments when they were fighting with the robots i felt something weird and could have been better but maybe this isn't the actors fault i think there is a fight scenes designers or something like that, i just think it could have been more realistic.
The sound effects in the movie as well played a great role like how the robots speak and interact, the gun shots, etc .., all were good nothing over the top or abnormal.
Finally, everyone who is interested in the Sci-fi genre should watch this i pretty sure it will entertain you, I think Gamers will have a bit of deja vu watching this lol.
7.5/10

If you're like me, you are very leery of low budget sci-fi and horror films that are written and directed by the same person who is relatively unknown and not yet an established filmmaker. More times than not, the script and acting are embarrassingly amateur and a complete waste of your time. Well, this film is a definite exception to that generalization. Apart from the lame title, this film is actually quite entertaining and worth the watch. The special effects are quite impressive and the acting and plot is good enough to keep your interest from beginning to end. If you are a fan of movies like Skyline, Predator, and Terminator, you will probably enjoy this film.
Just got back from seeing this, and I'm glad I did. Kill Command is a relatively straight-laced sci-fi that takes itself seriously - and is the better for it.
A military team are sent to training, when they are attacked by robots. They are accompanied on this mission by an upgraded woman. I'd go so far as to say it is best to leave the summary here, as the story unfolds in an organic and sometimes surprising way. Dialogue is always solid and acted well, thankfully.
Pacing of shots is excellent in my opinion, although my friend felt it could have been tighter. There are a few jump scares, but the best tension as always is when a scene drags on while we're not quite sure if the team is being observed.
There are some plot holes, but nothing that can't be ignored. Frankly, it just about works in-universe because of the light touch with world building.
Worth the watch, especially for fans of sci-fi.

Although it's an old-fashioned human-machine war scenario, the possibility of a sequel is left behind. Of course, too small scenes, a slightly pale plot, and too much nonsense are hard wounds.
I am just tired of how often script writers fail to justify actions of their characters. I would have liked the protagonists to show at least some semblance of intelligence especially considering the positions they held and the dire situations they were in. The acting, camera-work and production value make up for the deficiencies to some extent but not enough to absolve them. This is a one time watch. The squad leader is dumb and the techie acts like she's artificial intelligence herself. Other then the dumb characters and a predictable plot, the movie is paced beautifully with enough shifts and dynamism to keep you watching. However, it might not be as memorable an experience as it could've been.

- GoofsNo aircraft designer would put a troop/cargo door right next to engine exhaust. Especially for combat troop drops in the field, this could prove very inconvenient or even deadly. The door should have been in the back, away from the engines. Example: 11:40.
