Robot Overlords (2014)
Ended up watching this one twice. The ending is way too convenient and the third act is rather too obviously trying to wrap things up. However this film is a lot of fun with some very appealing characters to guide you through the story.
I'm still not really much of a Gillian Anderson fan, but I have to say her English accent here is very impressive. She has a few awesome-mum moments which she takes full advantage of.
Ben Kingsley hams things up a bit, but he's a rather interesting villain. In many ways he seems like a well-meaning and pleasant figure - until you look at what he actually does with his authority.
But surprisingly (or perhaps less so if you saw this year's "Mr. Holmes") the stand-out performance is from Milo Parker, who plays the youngest of the children standing up against the robot invasion.
A definite step up from Jon Wright's alien invasion movie "Grabbers". I thought "Robot Overlords" was a real treat in spite of a few cheesy elements.
B+
