The initial 20-30 minutes of the movie was fair entertainment on a limited budget. But the contrast with the last 30 minutes was ridiculous. In the first part, an elite mostly human super-soldier platoon is crushed by the bad guys in stark black suits. They are barely able to pick a few off here and there. In the last part, one super-soldier is able to decimate the ranks of the supposedly elite new model of drone.
There are all the usual problems of the bad guys behaving stupidly while supposedly being elite, guns that never run out of ammo, explosives that just happen to be planted to take out only the baddies etc etc etc. After a while this gets tedious. But there is nothing much else to fall back on. Nobody we develop real feelings about. Sackhoff does her gamey best to breath some life into this but it's not really enough.
There are flashes of entertainment but overall the movie is low wattage and prosaic.
