Battle Drone (2018)
6/10
Not the worst movie. And not the best.
6 February 2019
This is certainly not the worst movie in the world. But it's also nowhere near being the best. It's a fairly standard affair.

You've got the standard cliché characters: The fearless leader, the russian muscle guy, the bad-ass chick, the complete psycho, the airhead girl, the martial arts dude, etc, etc. And then you have the standard bad guys: The heartless weapons dealer, the corrupt general, the shifty CIA-man.

You've got the standard plot: The team gets double crossed and have to fighter killer robots and seek revenge on the gad guys.

The good: Pretty good CGI. Casting was pretty good, and I had no issue with the acting. It's not Oscar material, mind you, but again it's standard fair for an action movie.

The bad: While some fight scenes are good, they over-use slow motion WAY to much. It gets old quick. And I also could not suspend my disbelief over how much ammunition the robots seemed to have. Like thousands of rounds per robot, and yet the gun they're carrying is smaller than a P90. Maybe that's nitpicking, but it bothered me.

All in all, a standard B-level action movie. Competently executed, but with flaws.

So... if you really like killer robot movies, I'd say it's ... fine. But if you want to see a B-movie with killer robots done even better, you might want to look up "Kill Command".
