MCT:August 25, 2008"If we sound off about this, nobody'll fight the fuckin' war for 'em!"
Peter Weller returned to the sci-fi genre in this brilliant b-movie from the guy who did Scanners 2 & 3, Christian Duguay -
MCT:August 2, 2008wow i have just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a bloody good movie 2 watch..this has got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie....i think the scenery throughout this movie is really kewl as well...i think that the director of this Art House & International, Science Fiction & Fantasy movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie..this has a kewl plot throughout this movie n its good 2 see this movie

On a planet in orbit of Sirius (which would be difficult given the star's binary status and brightness), a colony is terrorized when a robotic AI mechanical buzzsaw breaks out with mudererous intent.

MCT:June 22, 2008As with all Philip K. Dick film adaptions, this one sucks in major ways. The straying from the original ending totally misses the point of the original short story this was based on.

MCT:June 10, 2008Tremors meets Starship Troopers gone horribly wrong! I could only take about 20 minutes and turned it off!

I love Peter Weller and I once had a little crush on Jennifer Rubin, but this movie is so utterly forgettable that the only thing I have not forgotten about it is how bad it was (and I think there were metal things in the soil that gored humans.) I believed Duguay would never be able to make one single good movie after that, and his awful "Joan of Arc" seemed to confirm my prediction, but I did love his "Hitler: The Rise of Evil", which proves that one should never catalogue a director, however bad he may seem to be at first.

started off well but sharply went downhill when a killing machine decided to fall in love. a killing machine in love? up until that point it was okay but not really going anywhere anyhow. on a plus side it was okay to keep you from being bored for nearly 2 hours

MCT:March 29, 2008I'd just like to read the Philip K. Dick story to see what they missed out in this film. I would imagine some interesting ideas and tensions based on the situations in the story. Like people betrayed and played with as pawns by some huge impersonal power, the constant imminent threat of death and the petty reasons it can come to you or not, as well as the folly of that impersonal power that led to this awful situation, and, as the main theme, the questions of identity and trust and human 'cohesion' despite lack of trust, and knowing who is who and who to trust, and where do all those human motivations come from and how do these machines drives really differ, and much else maybe like that and probably much more interesting than I can imagine. But what did these people make of it? Did someone give some 10 year old boys a budget, studio and get them to do the adaptation? I'm not sure it could be reduced to more banal and shallow simplicities.

It's a blast. -

I had very low hopes and was expecting to be rather bored, needing to ridicule this movie for extreme corniness and ended up pretty glued to the movie, determined to see how it ended.

This movie was roundly drubbed by the critics. I admit it has it's weak points, but I love Phillip K. Dick's story.
-
MCT:September 10, 2007I haven't seen this in forever, but I can still remember pretty much the whole movie so I have to label it as one of my favorites.

It was confusing, it made no sense, it was flawed, grossly predictable, but yet I still managed to enjoy it to a degree. Clearly the "hero's" never watched terminator (lets all go and build an automated robot factory). Definitely in the "B" movie genre, it so needed at the very least gratuitous tats! You are left with the possibility of a sequel, that might be a bridge to far?

I'm not a huge fan of home-boy Duguay who is trying so hard to be a mainstream action director (and succeeding I might ad). His student work showed so much artistic potential...(tink big, 'sti)

An interesting setting, and the idea is there, but the story is hardly engaging and is completely forgettable. The love stuff literally comes out of NOWHERE and turns it into a mushy movie. Very strange, and overall very average.

well, this was interesting to say the least. The story was interesting. I might've actually enjoyed this movie. I'll have to think on it more.

Entertaining low budget sci fi - Peter Weller chews up the screen and makes you wonder why he never made it bigger.

Highly under rated. It was and still is a standout SCI-FI movie. A highly innovative script kept this one out of trouble. It was let dowm by some questionable effects...but it's all good!

For some reason, scenes from this movie haunted me for many years after I had first seen it, to the point where I made my husband watch it over 10 yrs later.
***Interesting Factoid***
I just read an article about the making of Bladerunner (25th anniversary is this year!), and it turns out that author that inspired Bladerunner with "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is the same one who wrote the story behind Screamers. His name was Philip K. Dick. -

If it had been made in the 80's (as the friend who showed this to me thought it was) i could have forgiven this movie slightly, however it was made in '96 so it gets no such luxury. Its badly shot, very badly scripted and dont even get me started on the acting and effects. An interesting idea (not surprising cause its based on a Philip K Dick short story) but not given enough attention.

If you are a fan of Science Fiction, this is a really interesting movie to see. somewhat post-apocalyptic, but on a deserted dry planet. The action was pretty kewl, the characters interesting, the overall rating according to me... worth at least a watch!
