And by drivel, I mean total crap.
It's finally happened... Sci-Fi Originals are better than this.
This baby is jam-packed with cruddy effects, terrible writing, and bland, poorly-developed actors who deliver awful lines. Overall, it's just a horrible waste of someone's thought residue strung together in film-form. It makes very little sense to anyone with half a brain, and it is a complete, total, and absolute waste of time. This load of salmonella-induced diarrhea isn't even worth the "fun factor" unless you're intoxicated with friends, and even then I imagine you can find something better to do.
Now to highlight my favorite steaming piles of cow-dung from this heap:
1. If this time and place has the technology to build space transports and robots that look like people that are pretty much indestructible, why are rusty old trains still in use? Why do the cars look like cars? Why is everything else the same as now... except regular folks can somehow afford super powerful androids to work for them?
2. Which brings me to my second point... So people can afford robots to do all their work for them, and yet the people seem to live in relative squalor. The surroundings of the town did not match the time frame in which they had a super cool space station with a tractor beam, space transports, etc.
3. Absurd physics. Period. (I will stop a speeding van with a pole. Ha ha!)
4. Let's say that I am part of an android sentience and want to kill all humans for whatever reason. Despite the fact that I have major technology at my disposal, my method of mass destruction is WALKING AROUND AND KILLING PEOPLE ONE BY ONE... BY HAND! You'd think androids-gone-sentient would know better and realize how inefficient of a process this is. Despite the fact that there is an estimated "hundreds of thousands" of them, I'm sure someone here is geeky enough to take into account the population of Los Angeles, estimate the average time it takes to slaughter a person, estimate the average time it takes to travel to another location and find another person (on foot, mind you), etc. The process would take years I'm sure.
Even better is that one of the androids was chasing a woman, who was deftly running away from him (it?). He had a gun, but instead of stopping and shooting her, he continued to chase her on foot... and subsequently lost her. This massacre of theirs, I believe, was poorly planned and even more poorly executed, especially when you take into account the technology at their disposal that was obviously not being used.
5. Another fine point of this ridiculous movie is that despite the amazing prowess of the androids, they are apparently very hard of hearing as they could not detect a woman breathing hard or crying only a few feet away or running away behind them. Whoever wrote this movie was brain-dead.
6. Speaking of brain-dead, here's a lesson for you: If shooting several bullets almost point blank into an android's face is ineffective, try hitting it with a pipe. That will also prove ineffective, but hey, why not?
7. Over and over again, it is clearly demonstrated that bullets don't do a darn thing against the robots. And yet, what do our morons keep doing? FIRING BULLETS AT THE ROBOTS! Idiots. And I mean the writers.
Don't bother with this ridiculously stupid piece of filth. Wait for some finer Asylum flicks such as "Transformer Robots", "Nights of the Living Dead People", or "Nightmare on Elm Boulevard".
