I can hardly believe John Cusack put his name to this.

Special FX were presumably done on a phone using an app. The story, dialog and acting are cringeworthy.

ps. ignore the fake reviews on here, watch the trailer and you will get an instant feel for just how bad it is.

An extreme low for scifi fans. The little amount effort put into this flick is astonishing. No energy. No real fear or feeling ever throughout. Just bad.

Who thought this would work? Why did you produce this?

Poorly executed.

Again, do not believe the rating. The vote distribution is so obviously fake that now, it is on IMDb to do something about it. The story is unoriginal and nonsensical. The ending was a lazy attempt to set up a sequel that required a deus ex machina device created out of giant plot holes.

I don't know if it is the work of the studio to game the rating or if it is the Russians trying to make the world dumber by making horrible movies look good.

No logic, no sense, no feelings, no action. The sounds are surprisingly bad, conversations are full of cliché. Neither director nor actors should be proud of this work. I'm sure it could be done much better with minor changes to scenario and at least some effort! While I was watching this, I was stunned by the stupidity of lead characters and absence of logic in most of the scenes. Seems like this work was made for a certain kind of people. To hurt them.

Watched this as it rated so well, but oh gees.... We turned it off. Rubbish acting by the two younsters, holes in the story. Just doesn't make any sense. Don't waste your valuable time on this title... So disappointed in John Cusack. Must have needed the cash really bad! Hope they won't waste money on a sequel.

I just endured to the end because I found this story was very similar to a book of my Chinese friend wrote a few years ago, The same theme, some same plots. The difference is in his book is more about the professional discussion of A.I and deep contemplation to human nature. It is quite significant for us humans I think. But none of these key elements were left in this movie. Only shallow, stupid Third-rate B movie plot there, looks they made it in a hurry. And very boring!! Let alone those very obvious story loopholes... So I called my friend on the phone and he told me he did chat with someone who claimed to be a Swede online before, and leaked some of his book's plots to him. It was about may 2016. Then the so-called Swede disappeared. Never contacted him again. He was very frustrated to hear the news, also very disappointed with this movie. He has to rewrite some of his unfinished book's plots now to avoid a collision with this crappy movie. What a lousy way to ruin a good book and idea!! Poor gentle good-natured man now learned that never believe in strangers.

One hour and 30 minutes of two kids running and looking for Aurora in year 2117. John Cusack is watching them on a screen. Full stop. Absolutely waste of time. Painful.

I know, I thought 'Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage' was pretty abysmal but this does take the price for worst movie, ever. I think I'd rather have my finger nails pulled out than watch this film again. Rarely do I come across acting this bad (shame on you John Cusack) so in some ways I feel blessed having witnessed this but maybe I am convincing myself to see the silver lining here because I know that I can never unsee this utter rubbish. If I could direct the main actors, Julian and Jeannine any career advice I would say "don't give up your day jobs" - please, for the love of mankind. Please! The plot is so hollow and incoherent that when some scenes start, I had to rub my eyes because I thought I had fallen asleep and woken up 5 minutes later. Alas, that was not case, it was just the plot that was bad. Singularity get's my vote for worst acting in the history of EVER: "I'm not pretending"..."I do feel". Honestly, I wish I would say that this was a B movie but actually there isn't a grade low enough to give this film. Maybe one day, we will look back at this move and laugh like we did with Sharknado or Teletubbies.....well, wishful thinking perhaps. Unlike some other reviewers on here, I actually hope that there is a sequel because it cannot get any worse than this. Even if the sequel were to show 90 minutes of night sky with David Attenborough singing Amazing Grace nonstop, it can still not get any worse than Singularity. IMDb - can you introduce negative ratings please? Oh, and BEWARE FAKE RATINGS ABOUND. IMDb - you need to sort this out soon or your business will disappear.

This movie is a complete scam. Everything from the 1800 'viewer' reviews that popped up overnight on IMDb to make people think this is worth watching to the fact that the trailer was released immediately before the 'film' was released. Don't waste your time.

Rehashed ideas, tired acting, bogus effects, and downright poor writing make this a complete flop.

Nobody seems to have noticed that they have basically completely channelled Katniss from the Hunger Games, that initial shot with the female lead she is nearly her double. The movie was so dull I didn't finish it, sorry. Took all I had to get through about half of it. Silly, slow, odd and pointless. The young actors are OK. Hope they get a shot at something better than this.

The only reason I gave it one star is because the system wouldn't let me give it zero. I have since looked up it's box office receipts. The only reason it could be even that much is because audiences were too overcome by the stench to ask for their money back. I managed to find the remote to turn it off after ten minutes (about nine minutes later than I should have.) Cusak looked like he was reading the script from cue cards. The only reason I can think of for professionals to be involved with this is that they woke up next to a severed horse's head in bed. Money alone couldn't be sufficient motivation.

I never write reviews, but this was so bad I had to rate it. You will lose years on your life watching this, there is not a coherent thought or sensible idea anywhere. I'm starting a therapy group for whoever happened to invest even a minute of viewing. Credit to the Chinese rating farm boosts that initially had this at an 8

It was just plain awful.The male lead actor doesn't know how to act. His acting is pathetic. Hey guy, do yourself a favor and take some lessons or leave the acting career. There's more to acting than just bulging your eyes out every now and then. Mister director should know that living in jungle makes the clothes dirty. How come the guy never have dirt on his clothes EVER? Its so terrible in so many ways. The only thing appreciable a little bit than others is the female lead actress who know little acting, that's it. I don't know how this movie have such a high rating on IMDb, something is fishy.

an hour and a half of my life I will never get back...I guess the initial high rating tricked me.. I consider my girlfriend lucky cos she fell a sleep half way XD and now she rates me 1 star cos I am writing this review instead of paying attention to her.

so anyway stay away from this movie

This film sucks: Here's why it has a 6.6 rating...

This is the worst movie I've seen for a few years. It's a mish-mash of ripped-off ideas from other (read: cash-making) classics - Terminator and Hunger Games are the first to come to mind. How cheesy to have a heroine, 98 years after the doom of civilization enter the scene in a tight body outfit, arrow (ok, a crossbow ;), perfect make-up and a smart-ass remark. Yes, dialogues are terrible, and so is acting). And so is the "voiceover" for the dimmer / lazier of the audience, to explain what is actually happening. Looking at how bad the movie is, and yet, with a 6.4 out of 10 rating, the allegations of rating-bumpings take on some credibility :/

p.s. it appears I'm not the only one to have registered on IMDb to protest against false reviews bumping up this awful, awful production!

I feel sorry for John Cusack. He must be desperate to end up in s film this poor. The acting is very poor , the special effects are very poor, the directing is poor. The only amusing part was to cast an actor who looks a bit like Jennifer Lawrence and they even give her a crossbow. Very useful for killing robots. This movie is appalling. I could not follow through to the end. I hope for your sake you do not waste your time with this rubbish.

Crikey this is a bad movie.. Pity a no star rating is possible.

Slow, glaciers move faster

Acting, good idea, let's add some as not even Cussak acts well in this. I doubt the two leads have a future in the industry.

Direction? A child would have directed it better.

Plot, predictable with no real twists with which to hold your attention.

CGI is so bad and not credible.

Path left open or a follow up which, if ever made, would be a crime against cinema.

To be honest, replace Kronos with Skynet and you kind of have the basic premise behind the movie.
