    Low Budget you say Huh?

    I said i will give it a chance after my great disappointment with some huge budget movies, i told my self it won't hurt watching a movie with not too much anticipation. But it turned to be one of those movies that you won't forget for a long time, the acting is super especially those very very talented African actors, they managed to deliver reality in its true form. the script is smart and straight to the point, lead actor has great potential in him, editing is fantastic, and the story is straight forward with no twists. overall i enjoyed the movie even with some not so perfect CGI. totally recommended.

    Good enough!

    A very decent sci-fi with acceptable writing and a few original and inspired scenes in a good setting with good actors filmed properly, the whole is entertaining and the art department did an outstanding job on a limited budget.

    I can only recommend this movie and praise this project especially when compared to Hollywood's super boring and high cost CGI products. This movie will grant you a pleasant and relaxed experience without stressing your patience or ruining your eyesight.

    It is not a masterpiece but definitely worth your time. In fact I would not mind to watch a sequel. If Revolt could represent just the average of what sci-fi movies look like we would live in happier times.

    Better than it had a right to be

    It's a decent enough Alien invasion movie. Made great use of an unusual location, and Lee Pace shows promise as heroic leading man material.

    Clearly a small budget, and once more proves that not having unlimited power or bankbook isn't necessarily a bad thing creatively. Film-makers had to come up with imaginative sets and emotionally involving characters, not just throw CGI as the story.

    Only a few really flawed moments and the writing could have been a little better. But, overall, worth the time.

    .A suspenseful and entertaining indie sci-fi thriller worth the watch.

    It's a decent enough Alien invasion movie.Clearly a small budget, and once more proves that not having unlimited power or bankbook isn't necessarily a bad thing creatively."Revolt," a propulsive, no-nonsense sci-fi thriller that's far more watchable than its generic title may imply.A suspenseful and entertaining indie sci-fi thriller worth the watch.

    Turned out to be a pretty good movie

    I wasn't expecting much but since it was filmed in Africa I took that as a good sign that it might at least be gritty and have a good look, and that paid off.

    The film is mostly action with above average grades for most everything in it.

    This is not a B film but a fairly respectable action Sci-Fi film that is entertaining enough for a watch.

    • Trivia
      The red car they take is a 1964 Chevrolet Impala four-door hardtop, not a convertible. The top has been cut off to make it open. The rear package tray is still in place without the padding, revealing the speaker openings. It is also right hand drive, something that would be required in South Africa.
    • Goofs
      Near the end, the EMP (eletro-magentic pulse) device operates nothing like a real one would. The effect would be largely or entirely invisible, would not have a fixed radius but would dissipate slowly over distance, and it would cause all electrical systems with long enough lines to be overloaded and fail; even if the power stations were still supplying power in such an apocalypse, immediately after the EMP fires, none of the nearby lights-some of which are quite close-should be on. This is not required for the movie to work, either; the drones emit their own light, there is moonlight, etc. that would have allowed the action to be filmed still.
