Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Leofwine_draca Having encountered The Asylum's TRANSMORPHERS, a TRANSFORMERS rip-off that was terrible in every respect, I had low hopes for this sequel, which turns out to be a prequel charting the rise of the machine menace. To my surprise this one turned out to be mildly entertaining, as long as you'd happy to overlook the continued and continuous flaws and problems. There's a lot of robot CGI here and it's a little better than in the first film, but the main improvement is the story itself. Scenes of characters being killed by their A.I. satnavs are a real hoot and the narrative does well to adopt a journey narrative with our hero characters striving to fight back against overwhelming odds. There's even an old timer, Bruce Boxleitner, who pops up in the cast. Bizarrely, the film was written by and stars none other than Shane Van Dyke, grandson of Dick, and it seems to be a labour of love for him. I'm not saying it's great, because it isn't, but it is better than expected.

c-conley90 You know, the people saying this had the benefit of not having Michael Bay have it all wrong. It may have been better, at least I would have liked the action. But no, all you get is sub-par, Asylum rip-off. Z-level crap starring Tron's Brue Boxleitner again in a Asylum rip-off and this doesn't have the benefit of having a lesbian topless kiss scene. The Special effects are shoddy, the acting worse than Transformers 2 and believe me I didn't like some of the acting in that either. Stay away, please, go watch Transformers 2, I know all the hate it gets, but honestly is it that bad this movie becomes better all of the sudden. NO, it doesn't this is so much worse, so crappy and poorly done. I realize that Transformers 2 was a mess, but it was a fun mess, more fun than this movie.

thorin_bane Wow where to start. Hmmm CGI, bad but not terrible. I guess it is like a very bad Sci Fi network show for quality. The way, or rather the reason they blow up is hilarious. Production value is pretty rough. They use the same old refinery from virtually all the Asylum movies. Actually they couldn't even scrape together their usual cast of ever returning actors. Seriously every movie has the same people playing small roles. It does give a certain continuity and ruins less careers I guess.They even manage to get some actors not working for scale like Bruce Boxleitner. However he can not save this dog.The camera crew does a decent job with what they have and the sound is OK. We are talking relative terms here. Ed Wood would call this a masterpiece, but it isn't. One production issue I had a problem with and at this point it would be nitpicking given the nature of these films. Keep the main character's wound in the same spot OK. It was almost never in the same spot. For that matter do people run around covered in their own gore for days on end? Which brings us to some other funny issues. The "scientist" gets a pipe put into her leg that they pull out while in the magical van that transmorphs from a 1994 Chrysler mini that the door wont shut on to a 2000 that is missing its wheel covers. So yes there was a transmorphing in the film. All while travelling very slowly(look out the window, trees are barely moving in the background...priceless) At least it was filmed in a vehicle. This character then limps for about half a scene before becoming pretty much fine. About on par with the girl in Cloverfield when pulled off the rebar.There are so many weird things happening with script and plot you have to see it to believe it. But the most epic part is when the Mayor whos' daughter has an operation(as you are told over and over) ask the scientist about the difference between ETs and Aliens. All I can say is she must have been pretty drunk during the shoot and they wanted to wrap. She is wobbling around slurring and is kinda touchy feely. "Thanks for the respect" LOL. The lines that do come out are incoherent at best and require the Mayor to explain what she meant while one of the other characters is caught rolling her eyes. In fact Dr Drool has a plate magically appear in front where she tied her sweater around her hips after the slurring explanation of what friendly/enemy like bad and good creatures from space are. At this point the Mayor mentions how good he is at cooking. She then remembers her cue but not the location of said magical plate. After wobbling a bit and looking around behind her in both directions, she gets that excited look (like a kid getting a bowl of ice cream)when she find it tucked into the front of her pants. I mean it has lots of funny moments but this was really the best for the 5 people who watched it with me. We had to re-watch it 3 times because we were crying so hard from the stupidity of the scene. "I guess thats a take eh!" Replied one of my buddies. The whole scene probably could have hit the cutting room floor. But it wouldn't have been a feature length film if they had tried to fix all the errors in this dog so why bother.To be fair I would have been pretty drunk while filming this too. I hope they had fun filming it, because it is very funny in a "The Room" sort of way. Better than some other Asylum films and I did like it better than Paranormal Activity. I wish one of the MST3K groups would take a crack at the asylum movies. Pure gold as they are a self parody.I gave it 4 for the effort and laughs, but its pretty bad, my official rating is 1 just so more people will see this ...um movie? Come on bottom 100. It really deserves to be there. Some of those movies don't come close to this bad. Gigli is terrible but at least it was produced and had some actors in it.

ctomvelu1 I could not believe one of the "Transformers" movies had ended up so quickly on TV, not to mention on the no-budget Sci-Fi Channel. Then it began to dawn on me, especially when Shia LaBoeuf failed to appear and Bruce Boxleitner did: I was actually watching a ripoff of the big-budget movie, and an Asylum flick to boot. Horrible! It's men versus killer robots, except it's mostly men (and a woman or two) standing around, talking about killer robots. And the robots that do turn up are just plain silly looking. I wanted to claw my eyes out. But I did the next best thing and turned the damned thing off. I hope you will do the same.,
