I just watched this 2020 movie on Amazon Prime over the weekend and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I had read an article about the movies writer and director Mark Toia who decided to self produce the movie and when he found out how expensive the special effect cost would be he and his friends did most of them themselves. The movie checks off a lot of boxes, geek, sinister forces, unwilling hero and oh yeah killer robots!

So, what is the movie about?

Does it have more plot than special effects, or is it the other way around?

Is it a political weapon? (Rethoric question, since it is an Amazon Prime movie)

What? All Amazon Prime movies are political weapons?

Only the recent ones.

The old westerns from the 60s they get in bulk certainly aren't, or are in a way that is not recognizeable as such today because they deal with issues that are no longer current. But I suppose those not count as Amazon Prime movies since they don't have "Amazon Prime" in their pre-credits :-)

In a nutshell, company creates AI robots, Military get involved, Evil person from government agency uses simple test of AI robots to carry out mission to kill drug makers in cambodia, everything get out of control.
The special effect where well done and not overbearing. It is well worth watching.
