If you consider yourself a movie critic savant, go buy your tickets, eat your popcorn and stick to the big screen. Those big money making movie producers/director/actors eagerly want your reviews!
For people who know how to enjoy different genres and can enjoy low-budget films, then watch it. So in a nutshell is it big screen material? No. Horror? Not really. Predictable? Yes. Low-budget? Definitely and very obvious.
Acting was decent, even Mamoa. You can't put Mamoa in a movie and not have him physically kicking ass, even as an AI! Is it worth watching just because Mamoa stars in it? Meh.... Is it worth watching because David Hewlett's name is stamped on it? Yes!
Does it leave you feeling euphoric? No. Would I watch it again? Yes.
So I recommend you watch it, on a lazy day while multi-tasking on a laptop/iPad. Keep in mind that if you are expecting a mind-blowing out of the ordinary movie, don't bother watching. IT IS A LOW-budget movie. The Sci-Fi channel has put some seriously bad movies out there, so compare to those, Debug falls in that realm of a decent Sci-Fi watchable.

Watched Defiance and they went and did what I expected, can't help but think if there aren't any original script writers. Too much thrown in the first episode with unnecessary detractors. Sorry to those who liked it, but it was...ah, OK. Seems Johnny Cash is a Syfy member because they used one of his songs at the beginning of the movie. Battle scene reminded me of the Storm Troopers movie. The giant invaders looked like they belonged in a video game instead of TV series. Prosthetics were bad. One alien creature looked like he was wearing a loose fitting monkey mask and his grunting voice resembled that of Bigfoot from Santuary. Other aliens looked like they were wearing 70's stocking mesh over their faces with Ozzie Osborne eye-liner to hide the bad make-up. I was giving Defiance my full intend and tried not to be judgmental. You look for extraordinary and get bland. Still, might watch a few more episodes just to see if my heart welcomes it. I doubt it though. Didn't get hooked on the first episode which usually isn't a good sign.
