Storyline

Set in a near future, technology-reliant society is creating killing machines. Against this backdrop an elite Marine unit is helicoptered in to a remote, off-the-grid island training facility, to test the capabilities of the latest prototypes. They set up positions and make short work of the AI targets in the killing field. However, overnight their sentry goes missing, and when they find the corpse the next day they find themselves in the killing field and the tables have turned. The Marines fight to survive on an island that is overrun by an enemy intelligence far beyond their predecessors, which learns from their every move.

User Reviews

Good cast and visuals, enjoyable, and worth attention of any sci-fi fan

The movie is solid. Acting is actually on par with many of 8+ star films.

The plot is canon and it's been rehashed in countless productions with Terminator franchise somewhere along the line. It is still very watchable when acting, camera work, and special effects are good.

Music is passable, nothing special, but they do avoid turning up volume for cheap scares.

Frankly, this movie can be compared to a novel which had to compete against the best of 19th century writing and came somewhere in the lower middle.
