A group of mercenaries are set up to battle drones. "A"Team vs Terminators. They battle at Chernobyl (filmed in Romania).
This is your typical mindless action film. What I liked about this film is that they knew what it takes to make a decent film like this: crazy characters, swagger music, slow motion fight scenes, and plenty of them, humor, and a love/hate relationship. Nothing much in a twist. Good banter. It is what you expect.
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. Plenty of killing.

Fairly mundane
BATTLE DRONE is a fairly mundane kind of sci-fi action flick, shot on the cheap in Romania with a few B-movie faces popping up to propel the story along. The story has a bunch of mercenaries teaming up to battle some evil androids that look exactly like the suit in the remake of ROBOCOP, so originality isn't particularly important here. Sadly, this is let down by slapdash writing with scant regard to characterisation, and poor direction which utilises extreme slow motion in some of the fight sequences which looks absolutely ridiculous, alongside cheap and fuzzy CGI elsewhere. Louis Mandylor, Michael Pare and Dominique Swain all work hard to bring some life to this, but the odds are tipped against them.
This is ... war
You have to like the slow motion speed up effect ... if you do, the movie will be like having multiple ... highlights throughout (you can switch highlights with a different word if you like). The actors obviously have fun running with the quite ridiculous plot ... and I think it translates well onto the screen.
Good special effects, no real surprises story wise and a lot of action and stunts. This is for B-movie fans of days gone/past ... characters could have used a few tweaks, but still got mad love for low budget movies with a heart like this ...
