SCREAMERS (1995) Trailer

Trailer for the 1995 sci-fi movie Screamers. Something of a cult classic which could be better known and perhaps better appreciated beyond it's budget sci-fi roots. A strong cast (especially Weller) hold together a somber sci-fi fest based on the Philip K. Dick short story "Second Variety". This film now has a sequel "SCREAMERS The Hunting" which is less strong but worth a watch.

(SIRIUS 6B, Year 2078) On a distant mining planet ravaged by a decade of war, scientists have created the perfect weapon: a blade-wielding, self-replicating race of killing devices known as Screamers designed for one purpose only -- to hunt down and destroy all enemy life forms But man's greatest weapon has continued to evolve without any human guidance, and now it has devised a new mission: to obliterate all life. Col. Hendricksson (Peter Weller) is commander of a handful of Alliance soldiers still alive on Sirius 6B. Betrayed by his own political leaders and disgusted by the atrocities of this never-ending war, Hendricksson decides he must negotiate a separate peace with the New Economic Bloc's decimated forces. But to do so, he will have to cross a treacherous wasteland where the deadliest threat comes from the very weapons he helped to create.

I love this movie, one of the best sci fis I've ever watched. For some reason it's so underrated, it's until you listen to the dialogue you get to know the interesting story about the war on a colonised planet.

How come the opening crawl to this movie was narrated by a Turian? ...or well, that's what the flashing effects made him sound like...

@TzeffNL I loved Temple of Doom. I never understand the negative views. Let's just forget about the forth one...

@Retcrow Only few movies had good sequels: (original) Star Wars: episode 4, 5 and 6. Back To the Future: 2 and 3. Some say Indiana jones 2 sucked, but I REALLY LOVE Indiana Jones 2. Everybody agrees Indiana Jones 3 is also great...

@Retcrow YouTube has never clipped my videos short...

Alert/Analysis

I definitely think that the so called "Good" robot gal at the end was actually bad.

Think. What was her first objective when she first met Weller? "Get to Earth" and since Becker clearly demonstrates that they will waste each other to earn trust, it's no doubt that the fact she battled to the end can easily indicate that her programming made her literally convince herself she was in all sincerity, good. A great cross reference would be Marcus from Term.Salvation, might not know..
