twhughes-00286 Not what I was expecting and I liked it. I did think it dragged a bit and they could have done more with the script, but overall enjoyable. Big Spoilers- so careful if you haven't seen it. (and the 2 things I enjoyed the most) 1. The enemy uses human brains, apparently reprogramming them to work their war machines. Really cool concept, using what is right at hand wherever they go to win. Not even sure who they are, machines, one person controlling it all? 2. Forget the Independence Day "lets use our basic knowledge of computers to hack an alien ship, and win." Nope, nada, no happy endings. Humanity loses, aliens dominant, using humans to wipe out humanity. Kinda like how one would imagine what would really happen if ET wanted to kick our collective asses.
shieldfire Mercifully this movie is short. Even as it is short, it is much too long. In short, Earth is invaded by bug-creature/space-dinasaurs/alien-mongrels with definite orc qualities, apart from that the larger one seems self repairing. Of course earth defenses are over-run in 3 days. While the larger ones are self-repairing, the smaller ones are killable by axe. And while earth forces are putting up token resistance, earth seems to have developed scripted explosions and falling aircraft parts that avoids maiming the main characters of the story in explosions in the range of 10 meters. But this is nothing to the deficiency of the unstopable invaders that create indestructible war ships, manage space flight, but can't equip photographic arms with 350 degree lenses.If you still think this is a good a worthy film to spend your time on, please remember the Internet saying "What has been seen, cannot be unseen." I am talking about the ending of course. Why someone in any fram of mind would think that spending the rest of your miserable life in a cell surrounded by dead or dying people waiting to be harvested is a hopeful ending should be beyond any rational thinking being. But apparently not, and it is probably the only derense that works against the aliens - poison them with idiot brains and ideas....The ending deducts 2 from the total score.
Kin Wing The film cost $500,000 to film, sfx was $9 million so not bad for low budget movie with TV actors.The invasion could have been simply foiled with a pair of Rayban sunglasses but who would wear those on a sunny day, good thing the men in black have the right idea, hey wil smith from another alien invasion movie Independence day wore sunglasses dragging unconscious aliens to area 51 !!
larryimdb This movie is in my top 3 of the WORST "heroes" ever.Rarely have I watched a movie where ALL the main characters are such a bunch of stereotyped stupid, whiny, obnoxious, bickering, self-centered jerks.This KILLED the movie for me. The characters are so insufferable that it's painful to watch. In fact, you're relieved when they die/are abducted! In addition to that, the script was none too good, and the ending was stupid (total Deus ex machina, so lazy!).Too bad, because as a B-movie (I really like those), despite -or because of- the outrageous main idea, it could have been funny, but in the end, it's not. What a waste.I'm giving it a 3 because the effect were good, but I think I'm being generous here.
