Total Retribution (2011)

To me, this movie is perfection.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A quick way to make up your mind, is to go to YouTube and watch a trailer. Do it. Yes, it's that bad. The CGI is horrible, acting is horrible with the exception of David Ian Lee, who however is completely miscast as a 'colonel', giving of a strong out-of-place Jim Carrey vibe. The rest of the actors look like people they found in the local diner. I've seen better acting in porn. Editing and sounds are horrible, props are horrible, there is no immersion. I cringed in shame when the makers proudly (over)portrayed their names in the credits, I would pay dear money to have my name removed from this project. Probably the most forgettable movie I watched.

so this film starts off with a naked woman, wow right? everything going for a man is happy EXCEPT she's flat and whiter than the whitest Irish. Boom, happy moment gone. And what else, for the opening part of the film, nothing makes sense, literally, nothing does. Is this a Sci-Fi or what??? Nope this film is a piece of trash rubbish that was pooped out of a stupid D-graded writer who couldn't be arse to use his intelligence. Seriously, worst opening ever, didn't even bother watching after 20 minutes because nothing made any sense. Save yourself from this film, there are films that are rated lower than this film but makes absolutely more sense, save yourself and don't dare watch it, even if you're drunk - Just don't.

Female android Helen wakes up without memory on a space station near Earth. Several enemies fight over the possession of a space cannon powerful enough to destroy the planet. Mind you, it's already quite original to tell the movie from the point of view of an android who wants to find out why her memories were erased and doesn't trust any of the humans - instead of introducing a human hero. But it gets even better, because we don't get the same old story about a big bang that must be stopped at the last second. Instead we are told the catastrophe is basically inevitable, but the android is thrown 200 years back into the past to prevent it from happening AGAIN. 'Earthkiller' is the rare case of a C movie with a highly original script that does not just rip off current blockbusters. Unfortunately it is let down by very poor technical side: the ridiculous make-up of the 'undead', the cheaply animated speedy robot enemy things, generally poor design any TV series of the 1970s would be ashamed of (but produced in 2011). Believe it or not, the German DVD title of 'Earthkiller' translates as 'Blade Runner 2 - The Decision'! An audacity, to say the least. Yet in opposite to all other reviewers so far, I wouldn't want to bash it simply for the lack of budget, but point out that a good story was provided, also the android is played very well, like a being just not quite human, by Robin Kurtz.

Oh dear, this was bad, well no, actually it was beyond bad. I saw the word undead, so I thought this might be fun to watch. Undead in space, sure, why not? But wow, I was blown away, and not in a good way.The storyline in "Earthkiller", well it wasn't all bad. There were some good enough ideas here and there, but it was weighed down by atrocious CGI effects, bad dialogue and mediocre acting. So sadly, a semi-good storyline couldn't even save this movie.For the first one-quarter of the movie, approximately, it is all about following a naked skinny woman running around on a space station, which, mind you, doesn't even remotely start to have the feeling of a space station to it at all. It was looking more like a make-believe space station in the backyard of a cheesy fast-food restaurant. It was such an eyesore. Especially the automatic doors. Wow. Just wow! You have to see that to believe it.But it gets better. The strange robotic reptilians or whatever they were supposed to be, they were definitely amongst the top three of badly animated monsters in movies that I have had the pleasure of watching. It was so bad that it was hard not to laugh and take it all as a joke. I think I would actually laugh myself to death if I was being chased by such a fake monstrosity.The movie makers tried to implement some blood in the movie, but again, failed at a horrible level. It looked so bad and so unbelievably fake, that you will just sit there and shake your head in disbelief.If you enjoy a good Sci-Fi movie or a good undead movie, then do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Earthkiller", because it is not worth the effort regardless of what approach you take to it. The movies that SyFy Channel pump out by the dozens are far better than this one, and that actually says a lot!
