Genre Research: Outside the wire

In simple terms, In the near future, a drone pilot sent into a war zone finds himself paired up with a top-secret android officer on a mission to stop a nuclear attack. However, if you want more details of a summary.... "The world’s most sophisticated android was apparently programmed by an intern at Barstool Sports. Perhaps another zero at the end of the movie’s budget or a sharper final draft of the script would have been enough to push “Outside the Wire” into more solid territory, but the gravity of its low-rent approach proves too intense for it to get off the ground....In theory, Harp and Leo make for a compelling duo. The former is a human who thinks like a robot, and the latter is a robot who’s hung up on the heartbeat that he’ll never have. Despite Leo’s penchant for glitching from civil to “King Kong ain’t got nothing on me!” at a moment’s notice, he’s endearingly fond of life’s more analog pleasures. He loves books and maps and vinyl records, and he even has a soft spot for the British woman (“Little Joe” actress Emily Beecham) who runs an orphanage in the heart of the warzone; the rusted old robots that stand in her garden and play with the kids are an inspired touch that evokes the imagery of early Miyazaki films...." Any who, my point is this movie is just too compelling and clever to summarize in simple terms. (Also avoiding spoilers considering the movie is a few weeks old)

 

This is the closest movie to mine, so we share many, practically all elements. I loved the military sci-fi sub-genre. As you may know my movie is going to be based in a military zone and demilitarize zone. The movie also incorporates super technology forms such as of the main character a sophisticated android. He works alongside the human who's only goal was there to do a few tasks and return back to his post as a drone pilot. The movie does an amazing job holding the character to suspense. I will not do much further analysis because of the similarity in plots.

 

One thing I do not like however, is the excessive shootings and deaths. This movie had a great intro and potential to be a far much better movie, but it turned to a "kill, kill, and kill" type of movie. The audience seems to forget the plot and a good grasp of what just happened.
