I actually really liked this movie a lot. It's hard to say to much of anything without spoiling the whole movie. It has great CGI and special effects and all of that kind of new tech fancy stuff with all the bells and whistles. I personally liked the plot and story line. The location of the end scene looked like Three Mile Island very close to where I currently live in the greater Harrisburg, PA area but I do not actually live within the city limits. I hope there is a sequel & if you watch the movie all they through you would expect there to be a sequel, plain old common sense would tell you that if you pay attention that they had to have planned on a sequel. Overall I thought it was great but there has to be a sequel, it is a must. If they don't make a sequel then I would say it's fair to good leaning towards good personally but if they do make a sequel then it's great.

Low budget science fiction thrillers are ten a penny these days, and way too many of them turn out to be absolute rubbish. Not so REVOLT, an engaging little effort that comes to us courtesy of South Africa. The film reminds one of DISTRICT 9 to a degree, with a sun-scorched and devastated landscape patrolled by hulking CGI robots (the good news is that animation is passable here). The main character is an amnesic soldier who has to fight his way across the landscape, encountering violent rebel groups at every turn. This film benefits from a simple story, a fast pace, and plenty of action. The budgetary constraints are evident but the cinematography is nice, which makes all the difference. Jason Flemyng has a small but memorable cameo.

Boy, where do I even begin. First of all, cliche central. If cliches is one of your pet peeves, avoid this movie at all costs. Now, the actual movie.The main protagonist does not remember his name or what he was doing over there in Kenya, but he remembers how to properly gear up like a soldier, change a tire and the fact that a local military base has contact with the Pentagon. Makes -perfect- sense. You can't relate to the two protagonists at all (who, of course, hate each other at the start, but make out in the end). They make such stupid decisions and are out of character constantly. To name one, after being ambushed by bandits twice, they abandon their weapons only to be ambushed again, but having nothing to fight back with. Nice.The main guy also gets a wooden stick up his upper leg at one point. Nothing a few hours of rest and a bandage can't heal, right? This movie is absolutely awful. When the main characters are a man and a woman they of course have to kiss in the end. The African rebel forces charge towards big alien machines that have the capability of killing them instantly. Can't be an action movie without a British character. I'm having a hard time explaining just how much I hate this movie. It's awful. Avoid watching it, much less paying for it. The title is true to its name - Revolt(ing).

Everyone involved overacts, almost like it is an instruction from the director. They plot in nonsensical at times and they apparently misplace items between scene's, having assault weapons in one scene and not having them moments later, after a short (not shown) skip in time. Perhaps some scenes was cut due to budget or time, and the continuity suffered from it.The directing, chosen angles and editing is poor - perhaps some of the jarringly poor camera work and editing can be traced to 'oh, here they had to skip showing how they got somewhere since if they turn the camera 5 degrees more one can see the barricades and non-apocalyptic scenery'.I was surprised how little I enjoyed this one.
