Synopsis

Set in a near future, technology-reliant society that pits man against killing machines. Against this backdrop an elite army unit is helicoptered to a remote, off-the-grid island training facility. What starts out as a simple training exercise for Captain Bukes and his tight-knit unit, descends into a terrifying battle to the death, as the marines discover the island is overrun by an enemy that transcends the human concept of evil.

Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Andariel Halo While I don't actually remember if this team is said to be an elite military force of the best of the best, they very quickly demonstrate that they are not even remotely close to being competent or reliable soldiers. One of them even casually pulls his gun on their civilian attache, Mills, in a joking manner while they're in a future-helicopter, because as anyone in any branch of the military will tell you, waving your fully loaded and operational gun around in a tight, pressurized cabin at your friends and allies is what all hardcore badass marines and soldiers do. going on, these people are engaged in an apparent training exercise in some area against robot drone soldiers, of which Mills can connect with them via some manner of implant in her body that is shown through her eye implants and such. For this reason and apparently no other, most of the squad hates and mistrusts her, with the captain being the most needlessly belligerent against her. When stuff inevitably goes wrong and the robots start launching ambush attacks on the soldiers, they almost immediately start breaking down, shrieking and crying at each other and making lots of loud noises so the robots can better track them and kill them. As well, they start more openly threatening Mills, thinking it's somehow her fault because apparently soldiers in the future operate on a childish mindset of "new thing happen, it fault of new person". as they try to escape the killer drone robots, they inevitably get picked off one by one, while continuously making noise, breaking up into groups, losing their cool, screaming at each other, and pulling guns on Mills because she's the computer techie and technology is scary. when they reach the apparent command hub where all the robots are based in, they meet the first robot, and we get an expo dump with it and Mills revealing that the robots are S.A.R. program, which I forgot what the initials stand for, but it basically means they learn from mistakes, study their opponents' tactics and strategy, and adapt accordingly. Mills seems to think it's some kind of programming error or maybe a hacking that's leading to the robots killing the marines, but the Head Robot says the only problem is human error; namely that the humans suck at fighting them. While them killing humans is a bad thing I am utterly against and would shut down the robots, they technically aren't wrong; this particular group of soldiers is comically inept and dangerously unstable, whilst the S.A.R. drones not only have the benefits of robot soldiers over humans, but they have the added advantage of learning and adapting on top of that, and they aren't constantly threatening to shoot each other for no reason or casually waving their weapons around unless they fully intend to kill a target. While robot soldiers will essentially never match up to human soldiers, and could never replace them for delicate missions like special operations or ones with the risk of civilian crossfire and casualties, these S.A.R. robots prove themselves in the film to be far superior to the bumbling protagonist team and could even stand to be deployed to a general war zone as-is, whereas the bumbling protagonist team I would not trust to do recon without somehow screwing up and shooting each other.
Marlon Pineda I'm no film critic, and nor will I pretend to be. I don't like what film critics mean in the industry, nor their opinions on movies I really enjoy. They're paid to sway weak the herd/ the weak-minded.Kill command is a great movie. With great acting done by a predominantly British cast. Vanessa Kirby was great, aside from Jupiter Ascending(another movie I enjoyed that got low ratings) this is the only real movie I've seen her in, at least as far as lead roles are concerned. This movie is "The Predator," and "The Terminator(2)" put together. We have long been familiar with the idea of Rogue AI in our movies and games...and, while, it's not necessarily a fresh new take on the concept, the added touch of human/ computer interaction and intervention was neat to see. What were Mills kind called? "Techies?" I think that her title could have been a little more flair, or, even a little more degrading, since, she was mostly referred to in a derogatory manner, as, the soldiers were obviously afraid of her invasive methods and capabilities. It's ultimately worth a watch. I know people are concerned with such things as character development, but here I think we need to just drop it. Some movies deliberately lack character development because it's not necessarily quintessential to the story, and/ or could just bog things down. This is one of those movies. The only background detail that would have been great to know, is more on Mills' story. Perhaps some childhood images of the horror/s of what Mills gone through, which was implied all too briefly. That background deserved a little more finesse. For her sake. The lack of character development, in this film, however, serves to elaborate on the fact that this crew wasn't even supposed to be first place(watch to see), and were obviously forced into immediate conflict. The most we needed to know, is, the troops were all historically a family and have a been through a lot, and that Kirby's character, Mills, was randomly assigned this crew by... (again, you'll have to watch to find out).I've watched this movie, twice, and I appreciated it even more the second time. My only dismay, is, I doubt we'll learn what the final ending scene/s imply is to happen to Mills...being mostly human(?Hmmmm...), I wouldn't figure much could, but maybe there's more to her than meets the eye.
english_artist I had never heard of this movie when it first came out and that is surprising as I love a good Sci-Fi and look out for stuff like this being released.I actually bought this second hand from a CEX store and I am pleased I did as its really a damn good movie. The CGI is brilliantly done and the robots are up there with the best of them from other movies. I think the one thing that stands out for me in this was both the tension and the the part played by Mills (Vanessa Kirby) with her having a link to the robots just gave it another dimension for me and even her just looking around the woods built up a great foreboding feeling.This is well worth a watch and its a shame it did not get more publicity when first released as it deserves to be watched and enjoyed
chadwickhjones This was painful to watch. I never reviewed a movie on this site before, but I just created an account to rate this one. I would rate it -20 if I could. It was mainly the script as is often the case these days. Whoever was involved in the production of this should find another job. The actors were fine, and the special effects were fine.
