As exciting as an infected skin tag....

Warning: Spoilers
Where to begin? You know a movie is going to be bad if Don 'The Dragdown' Wilson in on board. I rented this solely because Katee Sackhoff (BSG) is in it, but even then didn't have high hopes and it certainly delivered in the low expectations department. I even like Keith David (Pitch Black, They Live, There's Something About Mary) but, apparently he'll do anything for a buck. Thankfuly Bokeem Woodbine got killed off early, sort of like opting out like Burt Reynolds did in 'Deliverance' to avoid further humiliation.

Other commentators pointed out the numerous flaws: There's always a nice pool of water when you need one, treating a wound means wiping away blood with a Kleenex, etc. Other flaws include: Craptastic acting, cheesy effects, bargain bin Halloween costumes for the 'clone' soldiers and the fact that it was like a volcano of dung, spewing forth giant chunks of steaming hot manure that seemed to embed itself wherever it landed.

Read this and save yourself a few bucks....

The 'story' is basically what happens when technology we created to protect us takes over and sees us as the threat and picks us off (Battlestar Galactica, The Terminator I,II,III, ED in Robocop). Unfortunately, this movie doesn't even have the budget of a Hardee's commercial and so instead of decent looking cyborgs, we get a bunch of guys who look like they returned from a BMX rally. Anyway, blah blah blah, side shot of a boob, explosion, explosion, explosion, blah blah, kung fu face off... the end.
