Flor Rombain Lame movie, special effects that even can't be called effects, and when reading this comment you have to keep in mind that I like science fiction movies. The story of this movie seems pointless, it leads to nowhere. Certainly low budget. The acting ain't great, no action,... watching this movie is simply a waist of time !The story basically comes down to this: a couple of humans are sent to a planet to spread a virus that will kill their enemy, the mendax, once their spaceship has crashed on the planet, they try to make it to a village of the mendax, at a certain point they run into what they at first think is a mendax, but turn outs to be a human.So they start to doubt, going on, they find out that their minds have been implanted with memories by the mendax (they are clones, people who look the same, are the same, have been sent for the very same reason to the planet before). Later on they discover that they are actually sent to end humanity with the virus, but later on they discover that that ain't the case and that it's actually a virus to release the humans from mendax (created by a mendax)...This might sound like an interesting storyline, but I assure you, it ain't !

Moody2008 I saw this movie without thinking i would get something out of it, but it seems the story was actually captivating. Especially the ending was a bit of a surprise, although it was kind of spoiled by final words before throwing the virus at the city more exactly it was kind of a cliché. The acting wasn't all that good, i didn't see anyone that caught my attention as an actor in this film. The special effects weren't necessarily bad as they were almost missing. But the good part was the story. It was kind of a psychological SF film. I tend to ignore the lack of special effects if the story is right because i think a movie is made by the story not by the special effects and that is what i appreciate most. So it depends on what you want in a movie to decide if you should watch this movie or not.

dean-202 This is one of those films where the producers know they can get quick cash from the scifi fanbase, then get out without refunding anyone's money. This film isn't a labor of love, it is just labor - as in 'uninteresting drudgery'. * Apparently in the future the military consists only of bad, out of work actors - or some horrible alien cliché weapon made them stiff, robotic and unable to speak in normal human conversational tones. *Once you get a few minutes in, you wonder - "Is the plot of this thing going to be about a group of soldiers who THINK they are human but are actually the 'aliens' they are setting out to fight?" Yes it was a Deep Space 9 plot. * when fighting in a forest, you either stay perfectly clean, or completely filthy. There is no in-between. Looks like someone in makeup found a smudge stick in their kit and used it exclusively. * When you establish a 'head wound' it should still be visible when the camera changes angle..... thanks again makeup, stellar work. * If you do not use the word "lieutenant" in EVERY line of dialog, people won't remember that this is the "military" *Apparently it IS OK to pull your punches during fight scenes, as long as the camera shakes a bit while your actors miss the mark. * If you like Adobe After Effects as your visual effects software, this film does not disappoint. * Is it "Mendex", "Mendax" or "Mandex"? The cast used all 3.The one thing this film teaches you is this: If you have ever WATCHED film school dropouts make an amateur movie, that is all the prep, skill and talent you need to create a work such as "Homeworld".Oddly enough the music for the film by John Vincent McCauley wasn't half bad. I wouldn't mind seeing Bronston Delone ("the black guy") in a real movie as he seems to have talent, though the director of this "film" did his best to hide it.*There is one scene about 35 minutes in.... no actors, just a hill, fog and the sun fighting through the cloud - and it is breathtaking especially with the music design. This ONE '4 second' shot was so good in comparison, it is completely superior to this entire movie.Now, I actually can't watch this show to its conclusion.... it is just so horrible, so I can't tell you if they stole the previously mentioned plot line from DS9, but really... who cares if they did? Are the soldiers actually Mendex? Probably. Do I care? Hell no.A message for writer/director Phillip Hudson: Pick a department and get good at it because you suck at both of your current choices.

wils5742 I was a bit hesitant to rent this, as Sci-fi movies you first see on the shelves tend to be appalling. I was pleasantly surprised to watch a thought-provoking film that made me really try to figure out the ending before it happened.The special effects were cool, but don't expect to see much, since they obviously spent most of their FX budget on the first scene. The acting was good for a low budget sci-fi film, but there were some moments at the beginning that almost made me turn it off. Every sci-fi film needs a hot chick, and this one will suffice. As far as the writing goes, what I thought was a bad story progression was actually pretty original and intentional considering the ending, so watch with an open mind, and enjoy the internal struggle you will face watching it.I immediately checked here after watching for some insight into the ending, so I may make another with spoilers attached, to share what I think the ending meant. Great story, I wish they had put more money into it, and acquired some more substantial acting and music. But all in all, it was an intriguing movie that anyone who likes movies that makes them think should watch.
