    There was certainly effort involved

    Despite lacking true tension, Drone Wars does a very serviceable job in bringing exactly what you would expect.....drone wars and action.

    However, the script is fairly flat, the acting is all over the place (some good, some bad), and the general effects are pretty meh.

    There's SOOOO many worse B- flicks out there, but this just doesn't stand out from the pack and it doesn't have a lot of memorable moments throughout.

    However, the general concept isn't too bad. I enjoyed bits and pieces here and there. Some of the score was cheesy, but worked for me. The editing had some yikes moments, but then there was also some very commendable stuff.

    Overall, If uou enjoy these types of mindless action flicks, it's truly decent I guess? Not sure I would recommend it, but maybe I would recommend like 20 minutes of the whole film

    Stopped watching after 10min

    The awful CGI was bad enough. But then they scan the layout of a weapon with... a soldering iron ! And of course it reveals the complete contents of the weapon, what it does, etc.

    Either this movie is created by total idiots, or for total idiots. Either way, not worth watching at all.

    theres me thinking drone wars was the clone wars

    Its not.

    Drone wars is a decent film in a decade of similar post apocalyptic alien robot films. Good plot, acting, and sfx, but there are some appalling edits.

    Generic but still entertaining...

    There is just something interesting about the alien invader movies, but more than often such movies happen to be made on a low budget. And while "Drone Wars" were indeed on a low budget, it was actually a surprisingly nice movie for what it turned out to be. Now, don't jump on the horses just yet, I am not saying that it is a fantastic movie, merely that it was watchable and entertaining enough for what it was given its limitations.

    While "Drone Wars" hardly can be described as being innovative or revolutionary, then it does make fair use of an already well-enough established concept idea.

    The special effects in the movie were adequate, though you shouldn't set yourself up for something spectacular. I have seen much better CGI effects in other Sci-Fi movies, just as I have seen much worse. So on that account, "Drone Wars" were doing adequately. The effects were there, and they served their purpose well enough, just don't expect a myriad of bedazzling CGI effects.

    Now, you might be a bit hesitant about the movie given it stars Corin Nemec, and given his track record of movies, who can blame you? But don't write him off just yet, because this was actually one of his better movies, and he did perform quite well here. And most of the movie was centered on him, so he is in focus a lot throughout the course of the movie, and he managed to carry the movie quite well.

    While "Drone Wars" did indeed a generic movie, it still had some entertaining aspects to it and some good moments. So if you enjoy the Sci-Fi genre, and is looking for a light Sci-Fi movie, then "Drone Wars" could perhaps be well enough worth watching.

    not a bad movie AT ALL!

    it's not citizen kane, but a decent alien invasion movie...it's primarily a guy movie...lots of weapons and fighting...made from a male warrior point of view.... decent acting--the lead actor is a very experienced actor who had the lead in a TV series some years ago...

    good production values...a simple, straightforward story line...definitely worth a watch...

    it's low budget, but with current computer graphics tech, almost anything is possible...

    • Trivia
      This movie repeats the "aliens coming for our natural resources" trope. In reality, every single one of Earth's natural resources is available in larger quantities (and without the need to start a war with mankind) elsewhere in the solar system.
    • Goofs
      Towards the end, as the mothership is coming down in flames, a busy LA highway can be seen, with normal heavy traffic running.
