“Android Uprising” (*1/2 out of four) was an artless sci/fi thriller set in yet another repressive futuristic society in which humans have survived a battle against an army of drones; one sergeant (Kate Britton) becomes paralyzed and becomes placed in an android body in order to survive and this leads to a series of conflicts with antigovernment activitists that lead to the possibility for (yawn) worldwide destruction. Junky pastiche of “Blade Runner”, “Total Recall”, “The Terminator”, “Avatar”, and virtually every other futuristic sci/fi movie you’ve ever seen; after a while it’s pretty boring. Just because a movie is about drones doesn’t mean it has to feel like it was made by them.
