Case in point, 'Android Apocalypse.' I hate movies that have you asking questions like, 'Why haven't (the heroes) been shot by the evil killer flying robots?' or 'Why don't just follow the robot guards out when they were recalled, when they completely weren't paying any attention to you, and it's obviously something bad that's going to happen?' Or even at the beginning of the movie, where there's some random kid wandering around outside in the toxic atmosphere and then gets chased by some bad flying robots. And just happens to fall and hit his head on a rock. Why was he outside, when everyone knows that it's toxic? And how did he get outside, anyway? Oh, no, foster false concern about a kid of no consequence to the rest of the film. Just bad writing.
And the acting was bad, too. I remarked on it more than once.
So why was I watching it? Because I kept hoping that it would get better. Foolish girl. After Ogre, you should have known better.
I just want to know why people internationally pay for this slop? That's why they get made, because of the money they generate *outside* the US.
And isn't it great, the hero loses his prejudice towards androids because of the friendship he made with one...
