Okay, so it wasn't that good. Plus, it is an Asylum film, so I wasn't expecting much when I sat down to watch it. But, all things considered, it wasn't dreadful. In fact, it hung together reasonably well.
Sure, there is dodgy CGI, poor acting (especially from the guy who looked a little like Peter Lorre), weak dialogue and plot that we've all seen hundreds of times before. However, it's just the right side of "meh!" to avoid being an awful mess.
Adrian Paul and Richard Grieco are easily the best actors on screen in this one which, admittedly, doesn't say a lot, but they give reasonable performances. The others manage varying degrees of incompetence, but no one really stinks.
The guy tasked with playing the android clearly loves Star Trek, though, and that made me laugh more than the Avatar girl did. Original, this isn't, but it takes several movies and shows (Star Trek, Avatar, Predator, After Earth etc.) and manages to make something entertaining out of them.
I know what you're thinking.... Asylum movie... right? But they have been getting better slowly. Considering the budget, it's a decent effort, even with the toy guns as props.
If you think how many big budget movies get made and then stink the theatre out with their badness, this ain't so terrible!
SUMMARY: You won't watch it twice, but it is a long way from horrible.
