Screamers (1995)


 

A military commander stationed off planet during an interplanetary war travels through the devastated landscape to negotiate a peace treaty, but discovers that the primitive robots they built to kill enemy combatants have gained sentience. 

Superior sci-fi action drama successfully translates Philip K. Dick's dark imagination into a suspenseful and atmospheric thriller.

Halliwell*: "Paranoid science fiction, bleak in tone but interesting in its speculations about intelligent machines and violent people; judging by the soundtrack song, rock music will regress in the future."

Maltin**1/2: "Intelligent sci-fi action thriller is undermined by a bad ending."
