A giant robot must protect its creators from alien invaders. Sound good and exciting? Well, it just ain't. Man, does this cheapo Grade Z stinkeroonie strike out something terrible in almost every possible way: We've got slack (non)direction, a meandering story that unfolds at a painfully plodding pace, a hackneyed found footage central hook (enough already with this shopworn concept!), annoying characters, a derivative ragbag script, chintzy (far from) special effects, zero tension, a fractured back and forth nonlinear narrative style, primitive video game-type visuals, clumsily staged robot action, and even a groan-inducing sequel set-up ending. Only the acceptable acting from the decent no-name cast manages to rise above the overall muck, with Doug Burch a particular stand-out as ruthless government agent Pendleton. A real clunker.

Enjoyed the movie. Low budget, not really known actors, photography ok. Sorta like Blair Witch Project from 1999. But I actually enjoyed the movie and the story. The actors really tried, and in some scenes were outstanding. If this had been done by big film company, it would've been very successful.

Okay, so I obviously know that this isn't a great, or even that much of a good film, but I have seen movies with this type of budget, so I grade them on a curve, and with that curve, the movie isn't awful. Well the movie does feel and look cheap, and uses the found footage style seen in most independent films, it doesn't look gross, and at times can look like a real film. Not always, but the director was competent enough. The movie's title is meant to be a misleading ripoff of the far superior film Bumblebee, but the plots are far different from each other. This one is about a group of friends who create a robot that is used to fight aliens, and that has nothing to do with the plot of Bumblebee. The effects aren't great, but they aren't unforgivable. Hornet looks decent enough for the times he is on scene, and he doesn't look like the robot on the poster, which is misleading, but that is common for most mockbuster films. The acting, at the start at least, is actual pretty good, as far as I'm concerned. That is until we get into the interrogation room, for whatever reason the acting quality just drops, and it is pretty jarring. Overall, the acting is better quality than what this film deserves, but it isn't without flaws. Maybe I am more forgiving of this film because I saw it for free, but I still don't find this film to be too offensive, as I have seen plenty worse films. If you can watch it for free, give it a look, but don't spend too much money on watching it, maybe a dollar at most.

What an utter embarrassment. This is the kind of thing that your kids drag up in the future to shame you. This has to be the worst film ever. Really, 90 minutes of static would have been more interesting. Poorly scripted, poorly edited and even worse acting (if that's possible). Just wow.

Movie filmed by Go Pro camera?! What next? movie filmed by cheap 8 bucks spy pen camera, maybe. All of this movie sucks-

Three college-age kids create a very advanced robot in their garage and opt to test it in a remote area during an alien invasion. Town people disappear and reappear as "Crazies" attacking other people. We know the kids survive because in a subplot they are being interrogated by the worst played CIA officer in Asylum history. Not worth it. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

B movies can be bad, horrid, and totally stinko..."Hornet" should not be allowed to stay on our planet...Take non defined characters and blend in ZERO storyline and you end up with this...Can't sleep? Solved that problem for ya.. Stream this mush and enjoy some sweet dreams...Zzzzzz

This movie sucks so freaking bad! I can't even tell y'all how annoyed I am to have wasted my damn time and money on.
