This was awesome. Anybody catch it yet? I'm pretty sure my T levels went up 200 ng/dL as soon as I finished it. Not gonna spoil it or link to a trailer but watch it if you get a chance. It's very action -heavy, military-themed, dumb alpha bros everywhere, 90s/00s feel, Alan Ritchson brutally frame-mogging everyone, with some solid special effects. Surprisingly bloody too. I give it an 8/10

It's more of a effects/stunt demo than an actual film, IMHO. It was very competently filmed, but god damn the military aspect was rooooouuugghhh. But the actual robot was quite cool if somewhat nonsensical in design. It lacked the macho bravado of Predator or the weird wacko cheese elements of something like Enemy Mine or Flash Gordon to make it a cult classic. How they got Dennis Quaid, Jai Courtney (ok, maybe he is cheap), and Esai Morales to cameo in this is bizarre. These actors should have been the team in the field, not the goofball nobodies we got.
