Android Apocalypse

Leave it to the human race to destroy just about everything.  Except for Phoenix.  No more fresh air.  No more fresh water.  Among some of the things to look forward to in the future.
 
However, androids have also been created to help mankind.  The "cogs" help with everything from keeping the air filtration system working to security.  And if you commit a crime, you are sent to Terminus, which is some sort of outpost where the criminals mine the fuel for the filtration systems.
 
But Terminus is something more.  It's a research facility where the creator of the androids, who has transformed himself into an android, is trying to make the cogs think like humans so that he can eradicate mankind.  One of the test droids is used out in the field to see how it handles emotions and other thoughts.  Yes.  Emotions.
 
Joey Lawrence, I mean "Joseph" Lawrence, is the test droid that begins feeling pain and emotion.  Late in the film, he is reprogrammed.  And for whatever reason, he now feels the need to walk as if his legs are stiff.  He can still bend his legs, but the motion is no longer fluid.  It's very mechanical.  A side effect of being reprogrammed, no doubt.
 
I didn't care for this movie too much.  It's nice to see that Jeep Wranglers are still being used in the future.  Too bad the movie has two of the weakest jump scenes involving the Jeeps.  Chris Jerico should have wrestled more it the movie too.
 
I give this movie 1 out of 5 "Blossom"
