Simply Perfect

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I like those cheaper, less professional productions, always there is something interesting in them, I liked how the beginning met the ending, the concept is not very common. For a low budget movie the CG was OK yet could be improved. Props were terrible, Nerf guns painted in black and silver. Costumes? definitely needed an upgrade, I though Starship Rising had poor costumes, here it looked like everyone jest dressed themselves with what they had. Story is about an android trying to save humanity with two fractions fighting over a control of a space gun array. Seems like an OK theme to build on. Reminded me of those Starship Troopers continuations where they run around identical looking tunnels being picked off one by one by bugs and trying to save the world. Here we don't have bugs, but some poorly animated robots and zombie like people with bloody eyes. When the main character android Helen walked around for first 15 min naked around the space station I thought "serious lack of dialog" but after new characters were introduced I really wanted the lack of dialog, it was possibly the worst part of the movie. The cheesy, adolescent, out of place dialogs filled with half sentences and nonsense outbursts. Its like everyone tried so hard to be a character they are not and on top of it over colored it. I will not say "don't watch it", but will advise extreme caution. Notion of wasted time may be present after watching it.

Of the seven low-budget movies seen in the past six weeks(the previous six being Aliens vs Avatars, The Amazing Bulk, Thunderstorm: The Return of Thor, Captain Battle: Legacy War, Bonesetter and Star Quest: The Odyssey) Earthkiller, aka Total Retribution, was the best of them. It does have one redeeming quality which was that the idea was good, which the previous six did not have. That said, that is not saying very much because Earthkiller is still a terrible movie that doesn't do its concept any justice, one of those movies that starts off bad, not in a long time have I seen an opening scene this bizarre, and gets even worse as it wears on.Earthkiller is very poorly made, almost like a failed student project, visually the best thing is the camera work, while it still often is dizzying there are glimpses of effort. Which is more than can be said for the lighting, which is at times too garish and others too dark(never appropriate), the cheap-looking sets which includes the most fake-looking space station you'll find anywhere in a movie and worst of all the truly appalling special effects, even the worst of SyFy and The Asylum have special effects as bad as here and they are on par with those of the aforementioned six movies. Earthkiller even incorporates blood and goes well overboard using it, even worse is that the blood doesn't even look like blood, instead looking like tomato ketchup that had been mixed with water.The dialogue for Earthkiller is so awkward it'd be hard to stifle any laughter as well as cheese ridden, while the story is incredibly padded with nowhere near enough to sustain nearly an hour and a half and doesn't even try to make sense, there's nothing remotely clever or original about it with the movie ending on a confused note. The sound has a muddied distant quality where sometimes you have to strain for some of the dialogue and line delivery. The direction is flat, the characters are literally over-familiar walking clichés with no personality(they are actually annoying and the movie has the sense of forgetting to actually develop them) and the acting is practically non-existent. To conclude, a complete turkey despite having a good idea, a shame. 2/10 Bethany Cox

I watched this movie with no expectations and this lack of expectation was fully met by this movie which provided nothing of value. I would have given it zero stars but I could not go lower than one. The acting was not bad since it was nonexistent. The sets, well I skip them since the designer did. The story could have been told in five minutes by a gold plated android in an ewok village on a distant planet far, far away with more impact. The computer generated images (CGI) were bad - really bad. The only redeeming fact is they were short.Who ever spent 1.5 million on this must have been looking for a tax write off.And were did they skinny naked chick? Toxic Avenger please clean up this mess!

Robin Kurtz stars as Helen, a woman who wakes up naked in a space station orbiting Earth about being indisposed for the previous 200 years. Having no idea of who see is or what's happening, she spends the remaining movie time trying to get out of the ship while fighting other robots, humans as well as horribly CGI'd monsters.I found this to be an amateurish mish-mash of a handful of sci-fi clichés that wears out its welcome rather quickly. It's no surprise to me in the least that the same person responsible for this travesty was also the one who 'graced' us with 'Battle New York: Day 2' Both of which are available on Streaming Netflix in case you're feeling especially masochistic .
