User Reviews

Time paradox leads to Humanity's extermination by killer robots.

Scientists in the future attempt to stop an unstoppable plague before it starts by sending an Advanced Prototype Extermination Unit into the past. A family on vacation gets lost and wanders into the sterilization area, so one of the scientists goes through the time portal to try to save them. By doing so he becomes the original source of the infection in that time, having brought it there with him from the future. The resulting time paradox creates an endless loop where sterilization units are continuously sent into the past one after the other, and when the scientist returns to his own time Humanity is being overrun by roving bands of killer robots that are relentless and extremely hard to kill. And all of this is just the *beginning* of the movie! Don't miss this one.
