Watch Drones For Free
Drones
Brian Dilks is an Office Drone. He spends his days at OmniLink in comforting monotony: facilitating the movement of product around the country, faxing, copying, joking with his best friend, Clark, and harmlessly flirting with fellow cubicle-mate, Amy. But how well does anyone really know the people they work with? When Brian discovers an improbable secret about his best friend, everything in Brian’s world changes and his safe life of workplace detachment is no longer an option. Shocked out of his mind-numbing routine by this new discovery, Brian throws himself into a star-crossed romance with Amy––yet close encounters of the office kind, like sales or intergalactic war, is an uncertain business.

Very well executed
Fresh and Exciting
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I tuned into this reluctantly, expecting Cone-Head type nonsense, but was pleasantly surprised to find a dialog driven comedy both smart and funny.If only my selection of movie channels would schedule more like this. I almost missed it, I've become so cynical about the constant barrage of action, crime, bad horror, and cheap sex farces, that dominate the selection.If you like being treated as if you have a grain of brainpower, then watch this little gem.Maybe the aliens will evolve us.
Drones is a small film well worth watching if you enjoy quirky, well-written, well-acted comedies. Going in, I didn't understand that the sci-fi angle would be so central, but it was nice to see a low budget production that features (more or less convincingly) "aliens" without the need for tons of makeup. And Drones almost as funny as 'What Planet Are You From?' (which also needed little in the way of FX). Angela Bettis, not the typical cute/perky "young thing" one might expect in a role like this, is quite arresting, with a lovely smile and expressive face. I found all the performances to be solid, with a cast of actors who are unfamiliar to me. Good comic performances all around. I also enjoyed the songs playing over the closing credits, including one that listed many aspects of earth life that might befuddle extraterrestrials. The quirky birthday song was also a hoot.
I caught this on cable a couple of nights ago while channel-surfing and was very pleasantly surprised and entertained by it. The main reason why I decided to watch it was because I saw Angela Bettis' name in the on-screen blurb. I enjoy her performances and I figured if she's in it, it's worth a viewing. I was not disappointed. As the female lead, she carries the whole movie and does so quite competently. She is just an absolute joy to watch. She has a great talent of being able to blend both the comedic and the dramatic and to make it believable. She's both sweet and sinister. Though the plot is ostensibly about space aliens masquerading as humans and living among us as they perfect whatever plans they have in mind for Earth, that's only a subtext to the main theme. These different alien species(who seem to be unaware of the others' presence here) are interested in either colonizing our planet and becoming our supervisors at work(!!) or wiping out humankind and grabbing our natural resources. But that's just a plot device to allow a satiric look at corporate office politics and culture and the rewards and dangers of office romance. It all works beautifully and one can see that the cast had a fun time making this film. Samm Levine and Dave Allen are just wonderful and James Urbaniak, with his humorous deadpan facial expressions, will crack you up. Don't miss this one. It's a real hoot!
No-- Not like "The Twilight Zone: The Movie". Instead, it's more like one of the Old Twilight Zone Episodes where the Earthlings are going about their business, unknowing that aliens are sitting next to them, studying them and deciding their fate. So a warning to Sci-Fi viewers, even as this is the premise, there are NO special FX. Again, think of it as a movie length Twilight Zone episode. One of the OLD ones, where everything is in the script.Except in this case, one guy DOES learn that ONE alien is working alongside him in a large corporation.And just like a stupid guy, he starts a relationship with ANOTHER one-- and then breaks up with her-- then finds out that she controls an invasion fleet.The story is a light, humorous and totally surreal. But it is NOT about the imminent destruction of Earth; it's all about the Dangers of Office Romance.And Copy Machines that might not just be copy machines.And overall, heartwarming.Park this movie for a nice Friday Nighter. And it's rated fully Girl-friend Friendly.
