4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Darn Good For a Low Budget Sci-Fi "B" Movie, 11 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Screamers [DVD] [1996] (DVD)

Adapted somewhat faithfully from a Philip K. Dick short story, the movie tells the tale of a planet once ravaged by a human war . . . and is now ravaged by sentient robots hellbent on eliminating every single human survivor. Seems that highly intelligent robots were developed during the war by both human sides, but the robots have continued to evolve and build better versions of themselves, with their original programming of "destroy humans" still intact. As the war-weary Colonel Hendricksson, Peter Weller decides to take it into his own hands to end the war . . . and to hopefully stop the robots from killing all forms of organic life on the planet.

This isn't a great movie, by any stretch of the imagination. Some of the acting is pure cheese, and the special effects range from looking okay to looking downright hideous. Still, the story is fairly original, and manages to avoid a lot of the typical plot twists of the genre. Petter Weller's performance is also very good -- his portrayal of the grizzled cynic Colonel Hendricksson is a small gem buried within a lot of mediocrity. Definitely worth a look, especially on a rainy Saturday afternoon

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than it gets credit for, 7 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Screamers [DVD] [1996] (DVD)

Bleakly atmospheric, but low budget and slow moving, this movie does not deserve to be mentioned with truly top-flight sci-fi flicks such as Alien(s) etc., but it DOES deserve mention as one of the best of the rest -- as a solid entry that at least tries something a little different than the standard "monster eats everyone" or "alien invasion" plots which dominate the genre. Does a nice job of conveying the weary hopelessness of its characters and until a somewhat sloppy, although poignant, ending, it generally plays by the rules. A lot of questions go unanswered, but that too works for the movie -- the characters themselves never truly understand what is happening to them, and are stuck trying to piece together clues. Overall, a nice, solid time-waster that just suffers from a lack of ambition. Something like a 6.5/10.

4.0 out of 5 stars An old style film which introduces some interesting ideas, 13 Sep 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Screamers [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)

Although not as good as the Alien Series it's still not a bad film! The story isn't great but it does the minimum to produce a watchable film and produces a few twists (quite predictable for the more intelligent Viewers) which are quite enjoyable. The story is about robots called "Screamers" which basically kill people. It is quite complicated to try and explain the film with out spoiling it so I'll just say that this is a Action/Sci-Fi/Horror film which is worth a look even if you think it's rubbish after you've seen it, as it introduces some new ideas.I think this film deserves 3/5 but as I am a fan I have given it 4/5. Screamers is well worth a look (especially because of it's low price) even if you may only watch it twice!
