A soldier, the last of his unit, rescues a hot chick and together they set out to destroy a drone army that has virtually wiped out humanity.
Rating: 3/10. There are a couple of okay things about this movie. It's an interesting premise, so had the chance of being a good movie; the settings and props are pretty good; and Katee Sackhoff. Unfortunately, everything else is pretty dismal. The story itself makes no sense. As far as I can tell, their mission, which outside of movieland would have been impossible, was to infiltrate a massively patrolled enemy base to steal a disk from a computer in the enemy's nerve center, in order to find out how to destroy the nerve center? Just blow it up, like he does later in the movie and all of the drones stop working. Even if you didn't know that would stop the drones, what possible reason would you ever have to break into an enemy command and control center and not destroy it? It is ludicrous.
Equally ludicrous: the drone army's base is guarded by a relatively short chain-link fence, with no barbed wire, no guard towers, that you can simply hop over, infiltrate the base and then just kick in the door of the critically important command center (which by the way is a 100 square foot room with 3-4 computers from the 70s). This is a drone army that wiped out the entire United States military?
All of that could be forgivable if there were entertaining combat scenes (which took up a good chunk of the movie), but most of the 'combat' was ridiculous scenes of the two sides standing in the open at close range shooting at each other, as if not a single one of them had any notion of what cover and concealment were. There were two scenes (at least) where the main character charged an enemy firing line with a melee weapon and came out victorious. Realistically, each of the main characters would have probably been hit with 2,000 bullets. It was all just really silly.
Survival Lesson: "The first rule of action is to survive by any means possible. Contact with the enemy should be avoided at all costs."
