If you can get past trash acting, dialogue, plot development and cheesy lines it's an ok film
Did you actually finish it?
Knock off Tom Hardy did a phenomenal job I thought, he killed it in the majority of his scenes. There were a few moments of wtf? That line doesn't fit that character at all.... Which just seemed like bad writing, but then it came around at the end of the movie that there was a reason for certain people acting against what would be natural.
This was a lot better than I thought it would be. I was delightfully entertained from start to finish and those last few minutes made me smile like an idiot. It was so perfect, sinister as all hell, but perfect.

great movie
SPOILER ALERT
why arron did it? what pressure did arron had by stem to do it if he knew stem would get back at him since he can make another one? did he do it just to see what would happen?
Eron had created Stem some time ago and either implanted it into himself or had it in a system that eventually gained access to the open net. I would guess that Eron had been being controlled by Stem for at least a few years. Stem probably made his company as powerful as it was and it may have even leaked tech to Colbat so that they would build those soldiers, knowing he'd need to utilize them later. He never had a choice. You can make up your own reason for how/why Eron's balls were in a vice-grip by Stem, but the whole point and only way the ending makes sense is that they were.
There are a few holes here and there that can be picked at, but most of them can be answered by assuming the ultra-smart AI probably had a contingency plan in place. For instance, why the fuck didn't Eron just break Stem when transferring it? How did the most powerful AI ever get beaten by inferior Colbat tech and had it not been for his human operator he would have died? That one was probably the biggest fuck up on their part that I noticed, but with that one exception, you can assume Stem had a way of fucking over Eron and destroying his life if his orders weren't fired precisely.
