Drone Wars

it's not citizen kane, but a decent alien invasion movie...it's primarily a guy movie...lots of weapons and fighting...made from a male warrior point of view.... decent acting--the lead actor is a very experienced actor who had the lead in a TV series some years ago...

good production values...a simple, straightforward story line...definitely worth a watch...

it's low budget, but with current computer graphics tech, almost anything is possible...

Why do people still produce movies that heavily rely on special effect with mediocre ones, equivalent or worse to what was possible 20 years ago?

On top of that, acting is really mediocre: it's clear the "actors" are here only because they need to pay their rents and groceries.

It is hard to care about the characters: we only wish they all dies ASAP so this horrible visual experience they call a movie ends.

The awful CGI was bad enough. But then they scan the layout of a weapon with... a soldering iron ! And of course it reveals the complete contents of the weapon, what it does, etc.

Either this movie is created by total idiots, or for total idiots. Either way, not worth watching at all.

Despite lacking true tension, Drone Wars does a very serviceable job in bringing exactly what you would expect.....drone wars and action.

However, the script is fairly flat, the acting is all over the place (some good, some bad), and the general effects are pretty meh.

There's SOOOO many worse B- flicks out there, but this just doesn't stand out from the pack and it doesn't have a lot of memorable moments throughout.

However, the general concept isn't too bad. I enjoyed bits and pieces here and there. Some of the score was cheesy, but worked for me. The editing had some yikes moments, but then there was also some very commendable stuff.

Overall, If uou enjoy these types of mindless action flicks, it's truly decent I guess? Not sure I would recommend it, but maybe I would recommend like 20 minutes of the whole film

So, I am going to be very honest here;

While the idea of the film is quite good, the execution is done badly overall, the CGI (or 'Badly edited Jpegs of aliens') is hilariously bad done.

The story and most of the acting was done well tho, and I did enjoy the storyline that was there.

One has to say though, they were on a budget that didn't allow for a lot of fancy hollywood-costing CGI and they worked around that pretty well. The directing and acting was awesome and I don't think many could have done better considering this low budget they had to work with.

Sure, it's not Marvel, or DC, it's not a universal top-budget film, but overall, I laughed at the bad CGI and enjoyed the things that were done well.

Seeing that, I give it a 6 -for effort- mostly.
