The Alpha Test

Is it just me or is the robot the spitting image of Darryl Hannah? This just made the robot even more disturbing than it actually was.

I always try and review a movie based on its budget as well as everything else and this was not too bad compared to some of the utter garbage that is flooding onto Netflix etc lately.

First off; yes the acting is not stellar from most of the participants but the Robot was well acted and performed. I have to disagree with previous reviewers about the sound - no idea where they get the idea that the sound was poor as I did not notice. Don't expect CGI as there isn't any and the blood effects looked like dilute tomato sauce or fired from a paintball gun which I am sure the shotgun effects at the end actually were!

As for the other reviewer comment on "white men" - whoosh that one went way over my head. Just sit back and enjoy the movie and try and not read too much into things that are not there.

Its a brave effort for an ultra low budget and gets a fair 4/10 from me!

Despite the terrible acting this movie actually held my attention. Although it ended up getting really bad about half way into it. I still managed to watch it until the end. It kinda reminded me of the recent Child's Play film. The robot could actually learn and had feelings. You could tell where the movie was going from the get go. The robot makes friends with the daughter. Robot gets bullied by the rest of the family. Robot kills family to make daughter happy. Cheesy and predictable. 4 stars! Don't bother..

Yes it's cheap, yes some of the acting is awful, but you need to enjoy it for what it is which is a cool little sci-fi flick.. I actually enjoyed it.. the robot was creepy and the film in general was entertaining.. those who can't look past bad acting and low budget should avoid.. myself found it good for a low budget sci-fi film..

And NO I don't work on the production team before anyone starts! 🙄

Forgive Asimov 3 rules of robots.

This movie is about home robots that never had read Asimov 3 rules: a robot can not do harm to a human...

All else is very basic and childish like a stupid robot learning by mistakes, a young employer doing basic programing, a disfunctional family... All this at some future where robots still have a cery annoying artificial fake 8 bits voice.

If you want to spend your valuable time, it will be lost forever, be warned, you can watch this college made movie.

Be careful, while you are using your mobile or your smart tv, they are capturing and getting your data. They will learn from you. They will become SkyNet and come against humakind!

If you ever wondered what an episode of Black Mirror directed by Tommy Wiseau would look like, watch this film for a laugh.
