This was just bad. First off, using toys is a bad idea. Great to display or play with if young, but a movie? No. Also whoever decided to do this used all kinds of silly stuff for props. Door stoppers and other blatant things take away from the silly story and horrible voice acting if that is possible. If you're going to make a fan film, do it live. If you're really ambitious make animation if possible. Toys are horrible. The jokes are less than childish, (at 10yrs old I wouldn't had found this funny OR entertaining), but rather dumb. Last but not least, passing this off as anything but some guys with toys, a video camera, and too much time isn't a good idea. I don't even know why it's on IMDb. It has less merit than keyboard cat.

Automata
(I) (2014)
In the unending parade of bland, horrible movies this stands out as a gem

I watched this movie without any preconceived notions. In fact, I didn't even know what it was about. I was VERY surprised. Rarely does quality come out anymore. Most movies are all flash and no substance. This however was vastly different.
The movie has a lot of depth that makes you think. I wasn't so sure about casting Antonio Banderas in it however. He did fine, but I think it could had easily done as well or better with another actor. The end result is, however very well made. If you're looking for a Michael Bay film you will be disappointed however. I sincerely wish more movies like this were made. I know it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but it is different from the rest. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Rampage: Capital Punishment
(2014)
The film doesn't pull any punches.

First, I have to admit that this movie kind of excited me when I first heard of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the first film, and if you like "Assault on Wall Street" you'll enjoy this one even more. I liken it to "Fight Club", but just a lesser budget version. There's narration and clips which I feel add to the movie.
Sometimes the film contradicts itself. The star of the film uses an iPhone and guns which he says are part of the problem, (among other things). That said, the message he's conveying isn't all that insane, and it really mimics a lot of the social attitude in the United States today. The message cannot be missed in this movie.
It also has it's usual action and carnage which is exciting. I firmly believe Uwe Boll has learned from past mistakes. It's pretty refreshing to see a director who isn't cranking out the next crappy "Transformers" movie, and isn't afraid to mix things up a bit. This film shows that he's found his footing and is making decent movies. I sincerely hoping Uwe Boll makes a third film. It for sure merits one.
