Lisa Schwarzbaum
Your average winter cold follows a less predictable course.
Lisa Alspector
Until the diverting special effects take center stage, this story, about an alien intelligence that builds an army out of flesh and metal, pathetically exploits genre conventions without generating self-reference, camp, or thrills.
Joe Leydon
A derivative sci-fi shocker that isn't likely to spark much interest beyond its target audience of undemanding genre fans.
While he can fling together a competent action or special effects sequence, his handling of the plot and actors is strictly routine.
Rick Groen
Frankly, about 20 minutes into this dud, I was rooting for the alien beasties.
Kevin Thomas
An unpretentious, amusing thrill-a-minute sci-fi horror thriller / monster movie that plugs right into fears of a Y2K crisis.

Its been a while...... Ok look I'm 13 and I really like this movie. We got the activiaaa (as song in the commercial) black dude with an RPG, robotic aliens, dick sucking captain, blood, and gore. Great plot by the way. And I new it was goign to be good when I saw back in 2009, lankly because it was older. And its scary in a grousm way. But scary old movies are the best. Like exorcist and the shining. Ohh my favorite part is when the asked "AWARE" what he wants and he said like DNA and body parts of the human.
Scared me! This scared the mass out if me when I was a kid so in my book its one of my favorites. It still stands up today for me a great ride.
POOR... DANG Was looking forward to seeing this, but poor acting and even worse story flow.

Dr. Will Caster is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions.

However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed—to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can...but if they should.
Their worst fears are realized as Will's thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.
