Quite entertaining.

I know the other reviewers sort of panned this movie, but I had caught a glimpse of it on sci-fi channel and found it interesting.
And by the looks of it on tv, edited quite a bit. So seeing this at a great price as a bluray, I figured what the hey. It's not a grade A movie, but a good B movie.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Liked the premise of a future world and the kind of society it presented, a corporate future fighting for the last of earths resources. Lots of action. I thought the effects were quite good for the budget. Not much CGI, but old school effects meaning masks and suits as opposed to computer generated beings. Probably more cost effective. The acting was pretty good with name stars although Jon Malkovich didn't have much of a role. The movie itself was on the dark side, as in not much lighting, but the clarity was there. It really looked good in blu. Very sharp.
Lots of neat features on the disc. I saw this 3 weeks ago, so apologies when I say I forgot what they were. I only checked out out a few at the time, like the "making of", but loads of good stuff to make the purchase worthwhile.

Better than I thought.

I'd never heard of this movie and right away expected it to suck. I was browsing the aisles at BestBuy and came across this; I read the synopsis and liked it. They wanted $30 there so I looked it up on Amazon and ordered it right there..I'm not disappointed.

Rehash of a bunch of other movies
Added 1/29/2010
It seems every year Hollywood dumps out a movie that is some combination of zombies, alien invasion, gory violence, gunplay and swordfighting all rolled into one. For 2008, this was Mutant Chronicles, a movie about an ancient alien device that is re-awakened by WWIII and starts to turn mankind into zombies. An international crew of soldiers, both guys and gals, are teamed up to destroy, or at least turn of, the alien device. The movie has nothing special about its plot, dialogue, or even special effects. All in all, a waste of almost 2 hours.

Im sure everyone would like to edit this movie in something a bit better,,,
is it Ron 's red riding hood cape or that huge amount of cheeze, or maybe
the mutants could have used a bit more errie vocals...but all said this
is a pretty good movie that wanted to do it all but could only do so
much due to many factors...
We have trench warfare like world war 1&2...we have powerfull coorporations
bent on winning at all price, and we have the newly arrival of the MACHINE.
So, it might not be the best,, but they sure tried and came out with this
movie that is worthy of a view.
This is a keeper for me.
