Instant Favorite.
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
First off, I'd like to say that I'm not writing some fake review, I honestly thought it was OK.I'm a filmmaker myself, so I know it's hard to make one and get it out there. I honestly see this guy's potential, Chris R. Notrolie the director tried his best to make at least a decent movie.Now, I know this film has it's flaws especially with sound design, I feel right now that his films are a work in progress, you know, he might not have all the film-making tools he needs, especially boom mics, hell I don't even have those. I do agree that some of the alternate titles aren't great ( "Terminator Rising" is definitely stupid). At my library I found it under the title "Battle-droid" that title is OK, it's original title "Perfect: Android Rising" is alright but I think this one "Battle-droid" just sounds better and he should have kept it that. Also at my library this film gets checked out quiet a bit so I know I'm not the only one who likes this film. The acting of course is not going to be "very good" but don't go into this or any low budget science fiction action film expecting Oscar wining performances, that's just stupid, just go into this and have fun with it. I will say that the director needs to work on fight choreography and filming it well, because he films too close to the actors in those scenes. I've seen this a few times and I liked it, besides this is the first amiture film I could see more than once, I have seen others at my library and they where really bad so bad in fact you feel stupid for watching.Overall a halfway decent little action move that really isn't half bad. I give it a 3/10. Mildly entertaining from star to finish that is OK to watch once and awhile.
Wow. I don't get to see movies THIS bad very often.There's a huge trend right now for horrible movies that are bad for the sake of bad. See "Sharknado", and it's like. And those movies are infinitely better than this thing.Right from the start, the dialogue is usually not even audible over the background music or sound effects... or when the characters aren't near the camera. Clearly recorded directly on the camera rather than looped or using booms or anything. It's just as well, though, since the acting is terrible and dialogue is delivered terribly.The SFX are... you know, just about anyone can do decent SFX at home now. These still fall short. Other than screen overlays, nothing looks decent. The fake CGI blood spatter is bad enough, but the cheap painted on non-CGI blood? There's no excuse for that. Karo syrup and food colouring works better.Oh, and hand-to-hand fight sequences... please. At least pretend your punch is actually connecting.Which brings me to the plot, and the point where I admit that I couldn't make it past 40 minutes into this thing. 40 minutes of bad audio, bad dialogue, bad acting, bad SFX and a plot that you pretty much feel that you've already seen hundreds of times. No thanks.I posted this review despite not seeing the entire movie because I noticed there are some positive, highly rated reviews for this movie. And claims that they are fake. I don't think they're fake, I think they were posted by people who are happy to watch, and enjoy, horrible movies. People, there is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to put up with movies like this! There are GOOD movies out there. Hell, there are bad movies out there that are still better than this. You guys are just encouraging the trend of below-mediocrity, and I for one would really appreciate it if you stopped.
1. If you know nothing at all about movies. 2. If you think dumb movies are perfect for a movie night. 3. If you are part of the crew and have no shame.4. If you lock yourself in a room with nothing else, but a copy of this bad movie. 5. If you believe in "favorable", fake reviews.The acting is terrible, laughable, incoherent, ridiculous, with horrendous special effects, and guns probably bought in the dollar store....I think I made my point, this is a bad, dull attempt for a movie, inspired by "The Terminator". So without more "Ifs", I am signing off.Since my review hurt the susceptibility of the guy that proclaims "Huge movie fan! Love indies as much as Hollywood!" well I do not want to get personal, I do not have anything to prove, If I am call a "troll" for giving an honest review , so let it be! Anyway I felt like editing my review omitting the "ifs"... where to start.6. Of course! ... whatever name to disguise this "Perfect: Android Rising / Battledroid / Terminator Rising " I agree: "it is nothing like "The Terminator"! that is impossible!, never the less, one of it's titles is: "Terminator Rising " "Juvenile"? I'll take it as a compliment. Now let's go Back to the movie in question: this movie is so bad that makes "Eve of Destruction" (1991) a masterpiece, at the very least in that movie I had the pleasure of enjoying the acting of Gregory Hines. Thankfully the other reviewer, gives the whole description of the movie, and to describe an "emotional performance" see "Alpha Dog" (2006) , "Just Another Love Story" (2007) , "The World According to Garp" (1982)...no? do you want cyborgs ? I have a good one!... The one where a cyborg melts itself in front of Sarah and John Connor!
As an avid fan of horror and action/sci-fi, if not a complete geek, I have to say that Chris R. Notarile is without a doubt a total lover of those genres as well.PERFECT: Android Rising is the perfect example of his love for action/sci-fi. Upon watching this film, you could tell that there was a respect for films such as Universal Soldier, Robocop, The Terminator Franchise, & Class Of 1999 just to mention a few. The style of the film seems very futuristic, as intended, and the music in the film was completely what one would hope for in a film about androids.... unrelentingly kickass drone metal awesomeness.The cast had some familiar faces from Notarile's other series, Krueger (the fan prequel series to A Nightmare On Elm Street) and a great supporting cast as well. The story was very well written and the effects were used brilliantly, not to mention were very good given the low budget that the film had.Regardless of the budget for the film, it looks great. The first person shooter sequences seem almost out of a video game and gives that sense of yourself being in the android's shoes during combat, which I absolutely enjoy.....watching and being a part of the film always becomes that much more enjoyable, at least for me anyways.I won't give away any spoilers because I think that a film truly needs to be seen to be enjoyed, not ruined by someone telling you about it. My Hellsing Review Rating for this film is 2 Devilhorns Up. Do yourself a favor and give it a watch.
