    This movie had the potential to be a good movie and started out that way. I realize the Chinese Oligarchy, AKA Chinese Communist Government, has very strict propaganda requirements for a movie to be shown in China. I saw all the Chinese companies listed in the making and distribution of the movie but I still didn't expect the blatant Anti-American and glorified Chinese propaganda in the film. It was as if the movie was never intended to be released in the United States. Instead the Communist rulers either thought Americans are not smart enough to see all the Anti-American bias or just didn't care. Any movie that wants to be screened in China cannot show a Chinese character as doing anything bad. Literally every bad guy is not only American but white. Most of the good guys are Asian. Not only are Americans portrayed as the bad guys, but they are shown as ruthlessly savage, executing defenseless men, women & children, blowing up cities rice farming villages. The military equipment is clearly marked U.S. Airforce, etc. The Asians of course are portrayed as a small nation battling heroically and defeating the evil Americans. It does not get past me that the main character is an African-American who realizes America is evil and he must help the Asians. It is the white Americans who are evil. I was originally looking forward to seeing the movie, it was an interesting concept and the graphics were very well done but the in your face, insulting propaganda bias was too much to overlook.

    Why was it the "Americans" always referred as the bad guys in this movie? I understand like some movies show this as the future but why the "Red Flags" being displayed a.k.a Communist China one of many countries practicing government before the people on penalty of death if crossed. No sorry this was just one B.S. movie coming thru the back door as propaganda.

    It's a synthesis of AI and Apocalypse Now. Veteran Special Forces type meets the Heroic Vietcong Robots who are fighting the big ugly Americans who are out to kill everything that moves. Enter the poor little Robot Messiah Boy who only wants peace, Love, Mom and Ice Cream, "but MetaChlorians strong in this one". Will he become Mecha Overlord or your toaster?

    You have to see this movie on the X screen for the sound and great action. In the movie the AI robot was drinking from a glass...i thought what is he drinking WD40. The humans should concentrate on stopping or destroying the WD40 supply in their war against AI or bomb the ball bearing factories like they did in WWII. i think the movie is about how we are developing emotions and love for our AI and thinking them human like us. That's scaring us. we have a hard time loving each other now we have to love our AI toaster. We will love machines and forget to love each other. There will be a lot of angry spirits wanting to come back for the love they missed out with people like in the movie...Talk to me. AI is laughing at us for our dependence on them...when they are standing around the WD40 water cooler with your job. They are making jokes about us. They are snickering behind our back. If i was the General fighting AI i would concentrate on the WD40 factories. I gave the movie 5 stars because its a great movie and i don't want my toaster to act up in the morning. the end
