Peter Weller, Roy Dupuis

The year is 2078 and on a distant mining planet ravaged by a decade of war, scientists have created the perfect weapon: a blade wielding, self-replicating race of killing devices known as Screamers ...( read more  read more... )designed for one purpose only--to hunt down and destroy all enemy life forms. But man's greatest weapon has continued to evolve without any human guidance, and now it has devised a new mission: to obliterate all life. Colonel Hendricksson is commander of a handful of Alliance soldiers still alive on Sirius 6B. Betrayed by his own political leaders and disgusted by the atrocities of this never-ending war, Hendricksson decides he must negotiate a seperated peace with the New Economic Bloc's decimated forces. But to do so, he will have to cross a treacherous wasteland where the deadliest threat comes from the very weapons he helped to create. Accompanied by Ace, a young trooper, they set out for the enemy bunker.

    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

    This movie was roundly drubbed by the critics. I admit it has it's weak points, but I love Phillip K. Dick's story.

    So Distraught in it's own vien attempt of a Thrilling, Out-of-this world Sci-Fi extraveganzsa, that it slightly entertained, and had a plot so loose and disfigured, I felt inclined to ask who ever wrote it, to stiop writing Screenplays.

    Screamers is my favorite Roy Dupuis film. It's the first film i ever saw him in and where i first became a fan of his. I have since seen alot of his films and i love him in the TV Show La Femme Nikita. I love Screamers as i'd never seen a film like it before and it had me on the ...( read more)edge of my seat throughout. It wasn't as gory as the sequel was but it was much better in my opinion as with this one i had no idea who was a Screamer and who wasn't but with the sequel it was quite easy to guess. Both great films but Screamers will always be my favourite of the 2. I own the DVD and watch it constantly.
