djsamwel 1. American soldier are best than other country's soldiers, this is wrong. Soldier is soldier even if he is from Kenya but this does not mean that american soldier can kill Kenyan soldier easily as shown in this movie. 2. Woman main character is always becoming the lover of our main man character, this is old style come with different idea. But also woman main character is also good and strong as real soldier that she can even kill other soldier so easily as fly just because that soldier is not american ooooooh! this is also nonsense. 3. Always in movies like this american tend to show that they are better than other country, this is also nonsense. American directors need to change. CONCLUSION: this is not movie to watch you will just use your time for nothing because it is a terrible movie.
Leofwine_draca Low budget science fiction thrillers are ten a penny these days, and way too many of them turn out to be absolute rubbish. Not so REVOLT, an engaging little effort that comes to us courtesy of South Africa. The film reminds one of DISTRICT 9 to a degree, with a sun-scorched and devastated landscape patrolled by hulking CGI robots (the good news is that animation is passable here). The main character is an amnesic soldier who has to fight his way across the landscape, encountering violent rebel groups at every turn. This film benefits from a simple story, a fast pace, and plenty of action. The budgetary constraints are evident but the cinematography is nice, which makes all the difference. Jason Flemyng has a small but memorable cameo.
jwcstorage 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!
King See This is a good entertaining movie and I see it as:Cinematography : EXCELLENTStory : OK (considering it is a sci-fi)SCI-Fi Content : ABOVE BASELINEActing : GoodDirecting : GoodHave flaws : A fewThrill : GoodResemblance (OR idea taken from) : 1- War of the Worlds (2005) (Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Tim Robbins) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/) 2- The Darkest Hour (2011) (Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, Max Minghella) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1093357/)My Rating : 7. But I gave it 8/10 because of too many negative ratings.Recommended : YES, if you like good sci-fi.Further Notes:I like this. The problem with sci-fi genre is that it is too hard to invest new ideas, so it merely depends on other elements like actio, thrill, cinematography and mainly on acting and direction. Having said that this is a good movie.
