BATTLE DRONE (Video Release USA 2018)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.9|5.0 Starsìì

Battle Drone has potential to be a good movie, but the script requires an overhaul and Director Mitch Gould needs to pull better effect from his actors/actresses while working on realism that captures audience emotion. The audience needs to feel the tension of the moment, to feel threatened, horrified, afraid, attacked. The film Hostage has the elements this movie misses and establishes professionally orchestrated scenes that provide backstory and lead to climatic moments that leave the audience breathless. This film, unfortunately, fails to capture the moments that make a movie great.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

No. Better action choices are: San Andreas or No Country for Old Men. If one is specifically looking for robot/droid versus humanoid, the Terminator series dominates this story theme. The classic robot/alien/humanoid story, a super watch, is 1951 The Day the Earth Stood Still.
