I was intrigued by the picture used on Amazon to promote the movie, and the description sounded like it would be at least fairly interesting. Not even close. Worst of all, I paid $3.00 for it. Free would have been bad enough.
We see these Acme Corp robots just a few times (looking NOTHING like the high tech robot used to promote the film), but there's little insight into why they're going about killing everything in sight. To protect the few survivors of the holocaust? But by the looks of it, the robots would kill them too. Who knows? And maybe the details were there somewhere, but I got so bored with such a slow paced, unproductive story line, if you can call it that, I kept skipping ahead.
There's a few revelatory moments, but the majority of the film is just very long, drawn out moments, one to the next, over and over again. Here's a suggestion, if you want torture, try the less time consuming variety, like maybe a good punch to the face as a superior alternative to this movie.

The basic idea of the movie is an interesting one but everything else is terrible. There's a huge lack of dialogue/monologue and I might have been OK with that if it wasn't for the annoying cinematography and boring story. Most of the movie is shaky as if it was shot by a cell phone in the hands of someone with multiple sclerosis.
The premise is interesting except they give away the 'big secret' halfway through. The one and only human character is really slow with figuring things out, leaving viewers to sit through the rest of it wishing they could smack him.
If you have young children who don't want to go to sleep at night, this might do the trick.

The only interesting things in this flick are the robots (which actually do exist as I have seen them in trade publications). The cover photo has NOTHING to do with the content BTW and that robot does not appear anywhere in the movie. I'm not sure how this film could have won any awards as listed in the Trivia section. Perhaps that Trivia comment should be checked for accuracy. The action, if one could refer to it as that, is slowwwwww and the annoying "black screen" pauses only add to the pain. The character is clearly not the trained astronaut or military figure one would think would be sent on such a mission. He doesn't even know how to use the simple device he finds about halfway through (though most 6-year-olds today would have no problem using it). By the end of the movie a possible ending begins to appear ... and is then abandoned entirely thus the movie ... does NOT end! It just stops mid-yawn.

I wanted to see an action title. It had a nice poster and I thought 'oh well, I can always stop watching it'. Puh, when the pilot started talking, seeing a capsule with three empty seats; and when the capsule's orbit started to deteriorate and the actor was moving like a grandpa to get a spacesuit (which was merely a gas mask and crash helmet), I knew this would be a bore. To be honest. I flicked through most of the movie. I'd rather vacuum instead. Yes, Ian is an independent film maker, and yes, he deserves credit for 'solid acting'. However, the story, the props, the lack of action and purpose made even this flick boring during the flick through. I mean, where was the robot pictured on the poster? Not in this movie! Obviously, this dude traveled to a post-apocalyptic earth. Hooray. Planet of the Apes ring a bell? Look, watching a guy walk around aimlessly and hit a robot with a stick, who then gets woozy, gees.Thank god I have a vacuum cleaner.

Go and watch some paint dry it will deliver more entertainment than this trash.
It's an ultra low budget homemade 10 minute short film implausibley streched to over an hour and half.
There is only one character no dialogue and nothing much happens.
Anyone making it to the end without fast forwarding should be awarded a prize.

The robot on the cover is not even in the movie. Also the screen just goes black throughout the whole movie for no reason. There's no dialog. It's not intense. It's not good at all.
