Watch Revolt For Free

How sad is this?

Absolutely brilliant

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Everyone involved overacts, almost like it is an instruction from the director. They plot in nonsensical at times and they apparently misplace items between scene's, having assault weapons in one scene and not having them moments later, after a short (not shown) skip in time. Perhaps some scenes was cut due to budget or time, and the continuity suffered from it.The directing, chosen angles and editing is poor - perhaps some of the jarringly poor camera work and editing can be traced to 'oh, here they had to skip showing how they got somewhere since if they turn the camera 5 degrees more one can see the barricades and non-apocalyptic scenery'.I was surprised how little I enjoyed this one.

I would likely have rated this higher if it wasnt for the ending. Overall it was a fun little sci-fi romp with absolutely unique looking machines invading and killing lots of squishy Earthlings, but it ends where it feels like there should be at least one more major action sequence left.The movie was fine, with (mostly) passable acting. The main characters were nothing amazing but they did their jobs well enough. The aliens came in a few different flavors but other than the standard Tall baddie dont expect anything memorable. Same goes for the scenery which consists of blown up and run down places. There are plot holes and dangling threads hanging out from the script unfortunately. We get several big revelations at the end, and where a better movie would have gone on to make these reveals mean literally anything, right when you're expecting the final showdown........credits roll. -_-Some complain about the foreign languages being spoken as inaccurate, but unless you speak them it wont matter and there isnt much in the movie either. If you want a popcorn sci-fi and dont mind a little frustration, this might be a fun watch. I wouldnt recommend it as a rental, but if its free with your subscription, and you have a couple of hours to kill, go for it!There is one unique moment that had me laughing. If you watch the movie you will undoubtedly see it too... its not a spoiler but I'll be a bit vague anyway. About half way through the movie, the protagonist and his female friend are trapped between a couple of buildings and out in the open during a firefight. When a random human dies, the plucky hero plucks the now-dead guys gun straight outta the air! It is pure schlocky glory!

The main thing to say about this film is that the character development is so one dimensional that you really have no cause to care about what happens to the two lead characters. The characters are so flimsy that even the relationship between them just seems odd and stilted. A very poor choice of casting leads there to be no chemistry whatsoever between the two lead characters and whenever they interact it's as though the writers were unsure of how to portray let alone progress their 'fondness' (I think that's what was supposed to be happening).The story suffers at every turn for not attempting to answer the question of 'why?'. Without a plausible narrative thread to tie together the action into a series of reasoned actions and consequences, the movie simply doesn't tell a story but descends into a series of high budget effects from well known movies done on the cheap. The weapon that vaporises people - taken straight out of War of the Worlds(2005). The flocking of the robots - taken straight from Jurassic Park. The alien ships that suck people up - taken straight from War of the Worlds(2005). The notion of 'people are worse than aliens' - taken straight from District 9. The EMP device is remarkably similar in look and effect to that in The Matrix. The 'spider' type robots are also very much like the sentinels in The Matrix and the 'sentinel in Neo's face' scene is uncannily like the 'spidey robot in the guy whose name I don't even care enough to remembers' scene. The film also has racist undertones to my mind. The two leads are white surrounded by black people who throughout the bulk of the movie we learn are all bad and 'worse than the aliens'. If the movie were your point of reference, you'd think every single Kenyan is a machete wielding murdering rapist. It's not until the very end we get some black people whose characters are about as developed as plywood but who cannot kill the aliens without the help of the white hero. Seriously, you set a film in Kenya and the guy who saves everyone is white? Why the director didn't throw in a few lip plates, stretched ear lobes and women with spears kowtowing to white men with moustaches dressed in pressed khaki, I just don't know. So in summary - this film tells no story but strings together cheap versions of other films' wow moments for really no apparent reason. The characters are so flimsy and dull that there is no reason at all to buy into the movie or care about the action. An if racism and offensive stereotypes are your thing, you'll love this film.

Cinematography, story line and characters were off the hook made me want to stand up and cheer .... You could not be ashamed of this human who would lay down his life to save others. You can tell he will have a brothers handshake. Nuf said. Well done... give it a nine so people who see it will argue and give it a ten. this is gona be a classic. Regular guy who has the heart of a hero.
