Low budget does not need to mean low quality, but in this case they are synonymous. After 10 minutes you tell yourself this isn't getting any better, after 25 minutes you think it can't possibly get worse, and after 42 minutes you are wondering how you will ever get back those wasted moments of your life ... yet you continue to the bitter end. How sad is that? So what went wrong? Perhaps they forgot to bring the script to the shoot. Maybe they got lost on the way to the set and stopped at the first available location. Bottom line, this movie died in the screen writer's hands. The characters have no depth, the story is not well developed and full of flaws: If the entire future of the drone police lies in protecting their control center, why locate it in a burned out refinery with minimal protection? Where did the ninja drones come from? Why give the "Girl" a gun for protection when it will only fire for Tallis? So Tallis is a super soldier, does that mean he has no personality? The sets are props are silly (computers circa 1980s). Need I go on? My advice to Ms Sackhoff: leave this one off of your filmography. You did well with what you had to work with, but I'm sure you are wishing some of the BSG writers had lent their expertise to this mess.
