Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
StunnaKrypto
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

ANDRON is a gloomy and derivative sci-fi B-movie made with a cast of has-been British TV actors and a singer who simply cannot act. It was shot on the fly in a matter of weeks, with a number of contestants trapped in an underground maze complex and forced to battle against android robots to the death. Sadly, the stilted execution is so poor as to render this near unwatchable, and you do wonder just what poor old Michelle Ryan's casting agent was thinking. Alec Baldwin slums it in one of those behind-a-desk roles and you have to feel even sorrier for a barely-glimpsed Danny Glover. Add in a handful of bad CGI and you have a film you'll want to go out of your way to miss.

In 2154 we are introduced to "The Redemption Game" with 10 contestants with a chance to win " wealth, fame, and freedom." Except they don't know they are contestants. In fact they have no memory, so they don't come out fighting. Adam (Alec Baldwin) "controls" the games through computers, CG stuff etc. He answers to Chancellor Gordon (Danny Glover) who used to be the commissioner of Gotham City.The characters and dialogue were not exciting as we watched what would be a better RPG. It seemed like someone tried to combine Saw, Matrix, Hunger Games, and Maze into the same film....and sometimes less is more.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

In the future, 8 billion people have been wiped-out by "the network." The 2 billion people left are all slaves to the 9 corporations that run the world. Their chance at freedom is to take part in the "Redemption Games." Alternatively, if they lose, they die. And so do all the slaves that have placed bets in this or that character. They get to see the games in first person perspective with some virtual virtual reality glasses as the contestants have been injected with nano-retinal cameras.So we meet the current sorry set of contestants. They are in some abandoned facility. But their memory has been wiped clean so they don't even know they are in a contest. How's that for an exciting life-or-death contest? These people don't know what year it is, who they are, where they are, why they are there, or what's going on. On top of that they don't enter the game at the same time, some of them have been there longer than others. So we meet them as they meet each other. Some are violent, some are peaceful. Some are reasonable, some aren't. The facility itself is supposed to be a maze of sorts, but if things weren't difficult enough, it changes as well, walls move closing the people off, or separating them, or killing them.In charge of the game is Alec Baldwin. He answers to Danny Glover who is the chancellor. He has a slave for whom he's developing feelings. When things get out of hand in the maze, Baldwin dispatches some tough girl to take care of things. Occasionally, the contestants are attacked by some guards.The contestants discover they have tattoos on their necks, which match a stone maze found on some walls, which allows the specific person to obtain some power. In one case one guy puts his arm in the stone maze and gets a weapon attached, that he rarely uses even when attacked by guards.While the contestant run around with little chance of anything we eventually learn something about some of them, as Baldwin grants them some memory. One of them was a guard, another was a programmer who took part in creating all this, another one even was a former contestant.Apparently things do look up for the contestants and that gets Baldwin in trouble who has to gather all his resources to challenge to contestants. And we learn of the outcome of the games.All this sounds OK enough, but it only means that a lot of effort went in this movie, mostly by the writers. It's not particularly original, but the back story is good enough. Unfortunately, there's no way around it that Andron is a huge failure. The cast is awful, you couldn't care less about any of these people. Baldwin is the only one who plays along and acts. The direction is completely clueless. This is supposed to be action sci-fi, but the action is filmed so poorly, they would have been better off not showing any action altogether. Not to mention that the director doesn't manage to get anything resembling a decent performance out of anyone but Baldwin. I don't think Andron is even passable enough for the international market. A good movie was possible with this script I think, but this crew ruins it completely.

OMG! This beats all the bad movies i have ever seen. They stole ideas from great movies like Maze Runner and Hunger Games, mixed them together and came out with a pile of puke that should be banned forever.Don't waste your time, seriously, don't, if i ever had any respect for anyone in this movie, its far gone now.To quote don-15227 "It's a vampire that sucks up an hour and forty minutes of your time that could have been spent on something more entertaining, like hammering No.2 pencils into your corneas. "The storyline is stolen, the "acting" has nothing to do with acting, everyone involved with this movie should be fined for being part of this pile of garbage.This movie is so bad, it could make people suicidal.Just don't, ever, watch this crap.
