Project Valkyrie is a case of a great idea and a so-so execution. The robot has a great appearance- very 1940s. The idea of the Nazis developing some sort of nano-virus is also kind of cool, as is the idea of the creator's grandson finding his grandfather's work in the modern day. Acting is decent for an indie film, and the music is surprisingly good IMHO.
There are plot holes though. The film fails, for instance, to explain what benefit the virus was- other than turning those sprayed into minions. The creatures created surely wouldn't fit Hitler's idea of an 'Übermensch' or a superior human- and they did not appear to have superior strength or other attributes that would have made them super soldiers. A nanite virus that turned the victim into a super strong warrior (perhaps with blond hair and blue eyes) would have been more clever. Nor is it clear why Project Valkyrie would be needed to combat these guys given their lack of superpowers. In fact the US Army with millions of men would have worked better, as one robot couldn't combat an army of these things had they been created.
All in all a good flick, with a great idea that could have been developed further.
