Audience Reviews

Sierbahnn 5/10 May 18, 2026
So dull, so.... so dull.
This is not how you make an engaging movie about never-ending war. This is not how you make a point about drones or robots or AI in combat. This is not how you make an action-movie overall (the one action setpiece is just cgi shooting at more cgi with no impact to the story at all). The casting is terrible, with our main protagonists looking either like they are overacting all the time, or completely disoriented and hapless.
This is well-produced, and looks good, but it is dull, uninteresting, and without a point in sight. Avoid it.
I am not giving it lower than 5 because of how high the budget is, but it is heartless, and probably does not deserve it.
