Universal Squadrons

Loved this promo. Great cast!

Lance (Riley Smith) is playing a video game called "Minuteman" with 3 fellow soldiers. The game is similar to "Doom.

The film has an interesting premise but doesn't quite deliver on it. A veteran is home on his farm with his fiancé (Willa Ford) where he is terrified by flashbacks from Iraq about a top secret drug experiment conducted on a group of soldiers to give them super powers.

You see a lot of 'time-warp' movies out now-days but unlike those this one only carries one special effect, the fast zoom. Compared to most movies that try using this effect, you can actually make out the colors of their clothes (or at least I could).

Universal Squadrons is an almost passable low budget flick until it flies apart at the end like rickety outhouse in a tornado. It's got a couple of attractive leads who, believe it or not, can act.

I guess I want to agree with pretty much everything MBunge from Waterloo, Iowa wrote in his/her review. (sorry Not sure about gender just by screen name) The first thing I did when it was over was to go online to see if maybe there was a series coming this season along the line of this movie.
