Ten people awake in a maze that's really crappy looking, with no memory of who they are and only one of them is allowed to get out of the maze alive.
The game concept works. Each player has a symbol tattooed on their neck that matches a symbol on a wall to get a cool weapon. Most players got simple guns while other got some really cool stuff straight out of a video game (like one guy got a really cool Mega Man like weapon). Once in a while they battle androids robots that look like ninjas, as well as fighting each other until their numbers dwindled down.
As a film the story was just too weak to care about anything that's going on.
Alec Baldwin appears in the movie. His character is pointless and seems to be created just to have Alec Baldwin in your movie in hopes that his star power will fill seats. The same goes with Danny Glover's cameo like role in the movie.
I actually went to see the movie because Leo Howard was in it. I'm aware of the young actor from his marshal arts driven Disney TV show, Kickin it. The movie does have him do some kicks and punches but not enough to salvage the flick.
But really, Andron has a bad story arc and messes up the game they play and leaves you with nothing overall.

Love the concept, but might work better as a game cause it's not a good movie.
You'll want to go out of your way to miss this one
ANDRON is a gloomy and derivative sci-fi B-movie made with a cast of has-been British TV actors and a singer who simply cannot act. It was shot on the fly in a matter of weeks, with a number of contestants trapped in an underground maze complex and forced to battle against android robots to the death. Sadly, the stilted execution is so poor as to render this near unwatchable, and you do wonder just what poor old Michelle Ryan's casting agent was thinking. Alec Baldwin slums it in one of those behind-a-desk roles and you have to feel even sorrier for a barely-glimpsed Danny Glover. Add in a handful of bad CGI and you have a film you'll want to go out of your way to miss.
Alec and Danny
If you sometimes wonder how some really good actors do some very bad movies: just think about the fact that they need money too. So Alec Baldwin and Danny Glover (still not too old for ... like this) are in this and they may be a sort of remedy to watch for some. Especially Alec is always fun to watch. Even if it's obvious he has no clue why he's moving his hand in front of his face (virtual monitors and stuff that were put in later digitally).
Apart from the real actors doing their thing (while looking as confused as the viewer),the rest of the cast is trapped. Literally and metaphorically speaking. The movie has not begun and you stop caring for them. Forget all the twists and turns this throws at you, which will make you dizzy. If your head-shaking didn't bother you and you watch through, either the final twist before the credits or the one shortly after the credits start rolling will finally break your neck ...
