robot killers awesome
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)
Yes Ive seen this but so long ago its not even funny,i dont even remember how it goes So i cant rate it or anything..
"don't you think the blade wielding, self-replicating race of killing devices we created will eventually become a danger to us?"
"no."
Not a bad start,considering the budget for this movie was B movie level.
The most dramatic low-budget sci-fi film ever. Phenomenal acting & story (from the writer of Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, Impostor and Paycheck)
Haha...I watched the rest of Screamers just now...wow, its a odd film, it has a real mixture of quality about it. Its also a real trip down nostalgia lane for me because I use to watch this one as a kid, there was something about it that I liked...now that I?m a twenty seven year...( read more)
From the opening CGI to the ending to he great theme music, Screamers was one of those forgotten gems from 1996
When I first saw this, the main thing I remembered was that there was a cool Mozart song at the start. Yeah, don't ask, I was young. I haven't read the book/story it was based on, but it was really enjoyable. Although it was predictable, I think that was mainly due to my being ab...( read more)
I saw this when I was trying to get the Midnight Meat Train on fearnet.I guess this was Peter Weller's first movie after Robocop.For an obvious low budgeted movie he puts in a good performance.In 2078 after a civil war on a planet, the survivors are offered a cease fire.After bei...( read more)
Based on a Phillip K. Dick story, this movie delivers, but suffers because of the apparently tight budget. The special effects feel fated when watched today, but they are not too bad. Peter Weller is as usual decent enough in the lead and the rest of the actors left...( read more)
"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
wow 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 &...( read more)
good show dont care what any one else thinks of this. it is a good show from the start and has a twist at the end of it that u wouldnt expect.
As 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.
Tremors 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 ...( read more)
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
OK adaptation of the Philip K. Dick story "Second Variety", but could have been better.
I'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 th...( read more)
Great Film and a good performace for Peter Weller.Nice idea for a movie and the soundtrack is fitting.
It's a blast.
Tom Weller ! that's it ... all is said ! OH and ... LONG LIVE ROY DUPUIS!
This is so silly and I just can't help myself but liking it. How sad is that? :) Peter Weller sucks as usual though.
This movie was roundly drubbed by the critics. I admit it has it's weak points, but I love Phillip K. Dick's story.
I 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...( read more)
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.
