Sounds like the old "Computer/robots" have gone rouge plot. Will we subordinate our power to a computer, I doubt it. No one gives up their power easily.

BTW, we do know where the illegal aliens are, we choose to do nothing about it. Whenever they enroll in school, go to the hospital, go to jail, get a job, get a drivers licence, etc, we know they are here and have false papers. We don't care. Politicians use our tax money to buy votes to stay in power.

The plot was a ripoff of the "Terminator" franchise. The special effects were state-of-the-art and the sound track was earsplitting! I saw it at a Marcus mega-plex on their "Ultra" screen. There were about five other people in the seats for the performance.

I had originally picked a seat about mid way back from the screen. I found it necessary to move further back toward the rear of the theater because the extra wide screen coupled with all the nonstop action footage (shot w/ a hand held camera without the Steadicam stabilizer) was making me nauseous. I am not generally subject to motion sickness. Neither plane, nor ship, nor car engenders the urge to re-gurge, but their camera work did in short order.

If you ignored the underlying impossibility's of the scenario and just let the action carry you along, it was worth the trip (provided you had no better things to do for two hours, like organize your sock drawer). The nonstop action rolls along like a video game.

PS Next time I'll remember to bring along some earplugs! The soundtrack must have been cranked up near the threshold of permanent hearing damage. That's not a fault of the movie as much as the theater.
