    Good cast and visuals, enjoyable, and worth attention of any sci-fi fan

    The movie is solid. Acting is actually on par with many of 8+ star films.

    The plot is canon and it's been rehashed in countless productions with Terminator franchise somewhere along the line. It is still very watchable when acting, camera work, and special effects are good.

    Music is passable, nothing special, but they do avoid turning up volume for cheap scares.

    Frankly, this movie can be compared to a novel which had to compete against the best of 19th century writing and came somewhere in the lower middle.

    Could have been a classic

    I am just tired of how often script writers fail to justify actions of their characters. I would have liked the protagonists to show at least some semblance of intelligence especially considering the positions they held and the dire situations they were in. The acting, camera-work and production value make up for the deficiencies to some extent but not enough to absolve them. This is a one time watch. The squad leader is dumb and the techie acts like she's artificial intelligence herself. Other then the dumb characters and a predictable plot, the movie is paced beautifully with enough shifts and dynamism to keep you watching. However, it might not be as memorable an experience as it could've been.

    did not expect that!

    you know the feeling when you tired and have nothing to do and already watched all the recent movies up there so you pick any not-very- promising film to be as a visual background to relax with? and suddenly you face the reality that it turned to be a very entertaining picture to watch! i expected to watch a low budget-shitty effects movie with a bad story and line. instead i watched a really great effects. the line was not random and the actors were good. you wont expect to get a SHASHANK REDEMPTION story in an action film,yet the story was good very nicely done guys, it was a great job. P.S. if it was an eighties-film it would have won an Oscar of special effects hehehe , yet we are not in the 80s!

    Rich animation caries the sci-fi through the slumbering pace

    "Kill Command" resembles another glossy movie from last decade; "Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within" in both positive and negative ways. Story follows a female specialist and a group of soldiers as they are trying to figure out the secretive nature of their enemy, in this case a horde of combat machine. The movie looks good even though the narrative might feel stale as it progresses sluggishly.

    Its most valuable asset is certainly its graphic, the effects are riveting and it brings out the sci-fi aspect really well. Camera angles are done to accommodate the sequences between humans and machines, even if there's slight editing twitch, the graphic is a solid feature. Cinematography and color tone work fine to present a secluded setting, both the contrasting outdoor nature and futuristic hallways or rooms. Audience would clearly see the near-future vibe it aims for.

    Unfortunately, story moves in sloppy march. It has a good mystery aspect, but nearly everything is repetitive in motion. It doesn't give clear characterization either beyond the gifted girl wanting to understand the situation while the soldiers just want to survive and get the mission done. Acting is presentable only to that effect. It seems that it could fit more, or tidy up some scenes to shorten the length in favor of more content.

    As a sci-fi "Kill Command" delivers a fine visual despite its by-the-number narrative. It's enough to separate itself from the horde and a decent foundation for a thriller.

    Worth the watch!

    Kill Command is a solid Sci-fi low budget movie, it's the first credit for Steven Gomez who wrote and directed the movie that makes me curious what is next from him, from the begging of the movie you know that you are going to watch a well-made movie.

    The plot of the movie is very simple, right to the point from the beginning of the movie, there are no useless points to fill the movie with it as we see in many movies these days, a group of trainees going for their regular training but something will happen will make them never to forget this training, the script really supports the movie because it is very well written and performed, IN THE OTHER HAND there are of course some plot holes and staff but personally i didn't focus on them that much, also it could have been better if they gave us more details, also the ending was very mysterious which was a little disappointed for me but i think it worked too.

    The cinematography in the movie was great, the CGI looks awesome, even with a low budget, flawless CGI and visual effects which looks even better than a lot of high budget movies, I think that the fact that Steven Gomez works a lot in the visual effects department could have helped him,right?, IN THE OTHER HAND sometimes the robots looks a little weird but that happened just a few times.

    The acting as everything in the movie is very solid, a group of mid- known actors each one of them played his role as it should be played and again it was very controlled by the director, awesome performance by the group leader Thure Lindhardt...Captain Bukes and Vanessa Kirby...Mills which added a lot to the movie, IN THE OTHER HAND there are moments when they were fighting with the robots i felt something weird and could have been better but maybe this isn't the actors fault i think there is a fight scenes designers or something like that, i just think it could have been more realistic.

    The sound effects in the movie as well played a great role like how the robots speak and interact, the gun shots, etc .., all were good nothing over the top or abnormal.

    Finally, everyone who is interested in the Sci-fi genre should watch this i pretty sure it will entertain you, I think Gamers will have a bit of deja vu watching this lol.

      Before leaving the base, a smartpad reads that the destination is the CHUCKCHI SEA, an area north of the Bering Straight, and geo-coordinates are for near the west-end of Herald Island. Herald Island is Russian and devoid of trees.

      No aircraft designer would put a troop/cargo door right next to engine exhaust. Especially for combat troop drops in the field, this could prove very inconvenient or even deadly. The door should have been in the back, away from the engines. Example: 11:40.
