I must be the only one in the world who actually LIKED this movie


Wow, ye of little faith (in oddly made movies). I had a blast, no pun intended, watching this. I will admit I couldn't figure out which character was Thomas Jane till about halfway thru the movie when someone referred to him as "Roy". He wasn't the same character he was in The Punisher but he definitely seemed to be enjoying himself. I mean even his voice was a higher pitch - not the deep grunty voice of Punisher.

While certainly not Oscar worthy, good enough for a lazy rainy afternoon.

Liked the too oft re-hashed concept, for some reason. It was a lazy afternoon movie for sure; good enough to not be sorry I watched it.

Dec.03.2017 I just watched this on netflix. I halfway liked it. But the scene at the end, with Bruce, makes me think there needs to be a part two to clear up a lot of open ends. Otherwise, its ok for a low budget movie.

part obvious 2: Bruce is already a robot having replaced the original in an experiment gone awry flashback, he's kept the park going to study humans weakness and violence ability so the sentient bots can take over all of mankind, noting he's already replace much of the lower down jobs, like janitors etc around the globe with robots for a coordinated take over using programmed upgraded abilities secretly downloaded via 5G towers. The girl and the hacker guy and the police guy learn the stakes, and create a plan to reprogram all the robots, but some of the robots are caring for police guy's mother in a hospital and use that against him making him turn traitor for a while in a surprise twist until the end when he decides to let mom go and save all of humanity. His police chief barks at him the whole time that he needs to get off this case, that he is fired, and then that he needs to be taken out - when we find out the police chief was also a robot. Then we find out the police guy's dog was also a robot. Then we find out the hacker guy is a robot too, but a good one who cut himself off from the rest, but he can detect them with super laser vision and goes on the hunt slaying the bad robots, then dies at the end because someone uses a taser on him and it shorts him out.

Police guy and lead girl get married and start popping out little robot children, and the final shot is a zoom in on a baby who's eyes suddenly turn bad robot red.

I liked the first 30 minutes or so (but it just lost it's way, thematically and structurally, after this point) which was a shame....because it's got a great premise (an adult take on both 'Westworld' and Willis' own 'Surrogates')
