villask Low budget but different storyline than other scifis!

Leofwine_draca Low budget science fiction thrillers are ten a penny these days, and way too many of them turn out to be absolute rubbish. Not so REVOLT, an engaging little effort that comes to us courtesy of South Africa. The film reminds one of DISTRICT 9 to a degree, with a sun-scorched and devastated landscape patrolled by hulking CGI robots (the good news is that animation is passable here). The main character is an amnesic soldier who has to fight his way across the landscape, encountering violent rebel groups at every turn. This film benefits from a simple story, a fast pace, and plenty of action. The budgetary constraints are evident but the cinematography is nice, which makes all the difference. Jason Flemyng has a small but memorable cameo.

Oliver Boltovski Boy, where do I even begin. First of all, cliche central. If cliches is one of your pet peeves, avoid this movie at all costs. Now, the actual movie.The main protagonist does not remember his name or what he was doing over there in Kenya, but he remembers how to properly gear up like a soldier, change a tire and the fact that a local military base has contact with the Pentagon. Makes -perfect- sense. You can't relate to the two protagonists at all (who, of course, hate each other at the start, but make out in the end). They make such stupid decisions and are out of character constantly. To name one, after being ambushed by bandits twice, they abandon their weapons only to be ambushed again, but having nothing to fight back with. Nice.The main guy also gets a wooden stick up his upper leg at one point. Nothing a few hours of rest and a bandage can't heal, right? This movie is absolutely awful. When the main characters are a man and a woman they of course have to kiss in the end. The African rebel forces charge towards big alien machines that have the capability of killing them instantly. Can't be an action movie without a British character. I'm having a hard time explaining just how much I hate this movie. It's awful. Avoid watching it, much less paying for it. The title is true to its name - Revolt(ing).

cageydog This is on par with a bad SyFy original movie, the script should be pushing daisies, never made into a film.
