The Last Scream You Hear Will Be Your Own.
The year is 2078. The man is rebel Alliance Commander Col. Joseph Hendrickson (Peter Weller), assigned to protect the Sirius 6B outpost from ravage and plunder at the hands of the New Economic Bloc.
His state-of-the-art weaponry are known as Screamers; manmade killing devices programmed to eliminate all enemy life forms. Screamers travel underground; their intent to kill announced by piercing shrieks. They dissect their victims with sushi precision, then eradicate all traces of the carnage. They are lethal. Effective. Tidy.
And somehow, they are mutating--self-replicating into human form--and slaughtering every beating heart on the planet.

It's a scream - 3.75 out of 5 (3/5/2001)
Screamers" is the kind of film that you look at in retrospect and wonderwhat went wrong. The film had all of the makings of a great science fictionepic. The film was based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, which hadworked well for "Blade Runner" in the past. The script was co-written by DanO'Bannon from "Alien" fame and the film starred Peter Weller who had provenhimself a genre hero with his previous stints in "Robocop" and "Leviathan."
But when the film was released, it was pretty much i

Not a Bad Fix - 3.75 out of 5 (7/22/2002)
In Screamers, the setting is war between dwindling opponents on a distant mining planet. Screaming anti-personnel machines begin to mutate and multiply, eventually attacking the humans they were meant to protect. Peter Weller plays a gruff and cynical commanding officer, and Jennifer Rubin is his battle weary (yet voluptuously beautiful) love interest.
The movie is of modest budget (and looks it), but the acting isn't half-bad. The story reaches its conclusion when our love pair ret

Excellent - 3.25 out of 5 (4/7/2000)
One of the best sci-fi flicks of the 90's. Visually inventive despite it's obviously small budget. Intelligent and thoughtprovoking.

A First-Rate SF Movie - 3.75 out of 5 (7/30/1999)
And you thought the opening crawl for Star Wars Phantom Menace was complicated. Philip K. Dick's original story was based on the 1950s cold war, Russians vs. Americans. Understandably, the filmmakers of Screamers updated the locale, setting it on a distant planet. However, all that exposition in the opening isn't necessary; what this movie is about is war, and how it gets out of control.
The essence of the short story plot is intact. Robotic weapons, programmed to seek out and destroy lif
