( After 10 years of devastating warfare on Planet Sirius 6B, a distant mining planet, Commander Joseph Hendricksson (Peter Weller) is assigned to protect his outpost from the New Economic Block. His scientists have created a perfect weapon, designed to destroy all enemy life - a blade wielding, self-replicating race of killing devices known as Screamers.
But something has gone wrong - the Screamers continue to evolve without any human guidance, cloning themselves into human form and obliterating all forms of human life.
Betrayed by his own political leaders and disgusted by the atrocities of the endless war, Hendricksson decides he must negotiate peace with the enemy. But to do so, he must first destroy the very weapon he helped to create - the Screamers!

I watched this in the movies and absolutely loved it. It is a version of Philip K Dick's Srcond Variety. As another reviewer said this movie feels very much like a b movie and I would agree with that. Having said that it is well acted and the story is great.
Watch it and just think what they could have done with an extra 20 million. We would have deen talking about this movie in the same breath as blade runner or Total recall. If they are the premier division then this movie is the first division and drok like Payback is the third division.
A good sc-fi

Screamers is a good sc-fi film but it just had a B-movie feel to it which let it down slightly. I found I couldn't stop watching it because the story was so interesting which was enjoyable unlike some sc-fi's where you loose interest quite quickly. It has its gory moments and the action isn't to bad. There's some scary moments and surprises towards the end which I thought was clever about the story. I think the ending could have been a little better done but good over all. One of Peter Weller's better films and worth seeing if your a sc-fi fan.
