Kill Command (Steven Gomez, 2016)

Trust robots to fight your wars for you at your peril, as if we didn't know already. In a film that truly manages to achieve new levels of derivativeness, a bunch of Aliens-identikit U.S. marines have the tech their mean old calculating military created turn on them and butcher them in fairly much the usual order, so that the last survivors are the leader, a scared doofus, a sort of cyborg woman and a tough black guy. The only interest is in the killer robots, which are so unstoppable and numerous that you might keep watching just to see if there's any feasible way to escape them. As is so common with lowish-budget British survival sci-fi/horror, it's basically just Outpost with machines instead of zombies, efficiently put together but with nothing more to justify its existence.

4/10
