Boring, long, and too preachy.
Absolutely amazing
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Surprisingly watchable Vanessa Kirby is great Bought this Blu-ray for a quid in Poundland because well, it's a sci-fi, a Blu-ray and well a quid! Plot is okay and Characters are Likeable
Echoing some of the other reviews on here I would say this is a surpringly enjoyable sci-fi film. It may not be particularly original, and as others have stated, the script is a bit ropey but for a film with a budget of only a million dollars it's got some high production values. It's a good way to waste an hour and a half of your time if you're looking for something "science-fictiony" to watch
I wasn't expecting too much from "Kill Command" when I stumbled upon it on Netflix, expecting it to be your typical run of the mill low budget sci fi actioner. Well, I will admit that the movie did exceed my expectations, albeit in one area. That area being the look of the movie. The movie is well photographed, and the other production values are top notch, particularly the special effects depicting the homicidal robots the protagonists have to fight off.So what's the problem? Well, although the movie looks good, it does not give the viewer the feeling a movie like this needs to give. For starters, the movie is quite slow, particularly in the first thirty minutes. Although the movie picks up the pace slightly after that point, the movie makes a serious stumble with the action sequences that then unfold. The action simply isn't that involving. It feels routine at best, and you never feel the protagonists' peril or panic. Add in a far too long running time (100 minutes), the viewing experience ends up being somewhat of a lengthy slog.
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
