Behold the 'Alien/Aliens' rip offs. They were big in Italy in the 80s and some were actually worth watching as they were different takes on the classic story. Even worse they all had the same title, 'Alien 2.' (not kidding, there were several Italian films with this title) The worst by far was the one taking place in the Venice sewers where Italians dressed like Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, and Bill Paxton, used pump shotguns which did not actually fire anything, eject shells, or even produce muzzle flare at NOTHING! Footage of cheap puppets was added later.'Pandora Machine' makes the above film look like 'Citizen Kane!' 'Pandora Machine is as bad as it gets! Take refugees from a scifi convention with air soft guns, filming with a camcorder in their parents' basement.Much like the cheap pump shotguns which fired nothing, ejected no shells, and produced no muzzle flare, these kids' air soft guns also do NOTHING! They're not even real looking guns! The dialogue is truly as bad as it gets. "I'll shove this gun up your fxxx hole!" Get ready for 90 minutes of that.Other scenes which show just how juvenile these film makers are is a gratuitous out of place girl on girl kiss.Clearly this whole film is merely the result of kids with air soft guns, a camcorder, and a free weekend while their parents' were out of town.

According to the box, this movie is about the future, where privatized police crack down on dissidents through the use of high technology and omnipresent surveillance devices. There's a serial killer on the loose and somehow, he, she, or it manages to evade all of the gadgets that are supposed to make dystopia safe for the proles.Well, that's what it says on the box. The movie, on the other hand, is so poorly written, so badly directed, so pitifully shot, that the only the only thing I could figure out about the story was that it was wasting my time.This movie was not only held back by its micro budget, but by the absolute lack of talent in any of the departments.Save your money and rent something else.

This movie is so low budget that it is not worth watching. The story is very weak and makes no sense, it could have been told in 20 minutes. So the other 50 minutes are a waste of celluloid. The director tries to aim for an art film, but this is over done, and becomes annoying.The scenes that show the security cameras are a disturbance and repeated too much. The acting is horrible and makes no sense.Normally i'm not so hard in my judgment but this movie doesn't deserve anything else but a bad review, In other words don't watch this movie.But hey if you like Sci-Fi, bad acting, bad directing, a bad storyline, and bad movies, then you must watch this movie

This is an independent release with a script that highlights how real creativity is often missing from summer blockbusters. First it tells a good story. But after it was over I found myself thinking about what it means to be sentient and morality in an immoral world.Excellent acting, especially since I can't find any other credits for the actors. The sets and special effects work well enough that I seldom noticed the corners cut to save money.A cop is trying to cope with his profit driven police force. He & his new partner are assigned to find an assassin who has evaded all high-tech security measures. Even the all-seeing surveillance cameras have no record of the killer's movements.7 out of 10 and a sincere hope everyone involved makes more movies.
