Earth has been conquered by robots from another galaxy and the human survivors must stay in their homes, or risk incineration.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Even with such generic scripting, however, there’s a genial, palpably enthusiastic chemistry between the four young, capable stars that gives their hijinks a bit of bounce.
The Hollywood Reporter by Leslie Felperin
Amiable if predictable.
The film is never less than amiable, and rather more spirited and nonconformist than the Transformers movies.
Overlords has its share of clunky moments yet nonetheless proves, like Monsters before it, what can be achieved when you’re short of cash but rich in imagination.
