A sci-fi film with a low budget but the acting is good, the setting well thought out, and the SFX extremely good. The script is the only thing that lets this movie down, but really, compared to other films in this category, it's a masterpiece.I found it enjoyable - and that is, after all, the main point of watching a film like this.

I wasn't expecting too much from "Kill Command" when I stumbled upon it on Netflix, expecting it to be your typical run of the mill low budget sci fi actioner. Well, I will admit that the movie did exceed my expectations, albeit in one area. That area being the look of the movie. The movie is well photographed, and the other production values are top notch, particularly the special effects depicting the homicidal robots the protagonists have to fight off.So what's the problem? Well, although the movie looks good, it does not give the viewer the feeling a movie like this needs to give. For starters, the movie is quite slow, particularly in the first thirty minutes. Although the movie picks up the pace slightly after that point, the movie makes a serious stumble with the action sequences that then unfold. The action simply isn't that involving. It feels routine at best, and you never feel the protagonists' peril or panic. Add in a far too long running time (100 minutes), the viewing experience ends up being somewhat of a lengthy slog.

I had serious reservations coming into this movie. It had flown under my radar and I was expecting the worst but this movie manages to deliver much more then anticipated. Decent Acting, great special effects, good character development, and a fairly believable story line (As far as sci-fi goes), I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good Action film.

So a small band of brothers get caught up fighting against a superior and semi-alien force. Eg, werewolves, vampires, zombies, enemy soldiers, poltergeists, aliens... Hey, what about killer robots, no one's done that before? No? Really? Doh!The 2 points are for the special effects which seems to have absorbed all the budget leaving nothing for story development or dialogue. Oh, writer/director - say no more! Jeez, how do these guys get the money. Must be good BSers or have rich family and friends.Do yourself a favour and go clean the oven!
