About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, low-budget sci-fi thriller about war and runaway machines, in the vein of Leviathan or The Puppet Masters; Not for you if you need polished effects and a consistently serious tone.
Pros: cool sci-fi premise; steady suspense; entertaining B-movie vibe | Cons: heavy exposition; uneven acting; cheesy final stretch
