...this is the kind of movie he would make.I've seen some very bad scifi and horror movies, but this one is on a class of it's own. As bad as the acting is, one still can't help but feel a bit sorry for the actors for having to spout out such astonishingly inane dialogue, and to portray characters that couldn't possibly be more stereotypical, in a storyline that would make the average 12 year old cringe.Ed Wood's movies became classics because they were so earnest, yet so genuinely bad that they became funny. "Younggary" distinctly fails to be scary, simply because it is so utterly silly in all respects, and the storyline has more holes than swiss cheese, but it may have some minute appeal in the similar vain as Ed Wood's material, provided that the audience is in the right frame of mind. And preferably quite drunk.

The good of this film is that the monster effects, artistically speaking, are excellent despite other reviews likely to be contrary. The bad news is the acting...whether its the direction or the talent, it doesn't matter. This one begs for the MST3K treatment. How can I differ so greatly with others on the effects issue? Well, from an artistic view, the drawings, as it were... the creative product of creatures, their movement, spacecraft and their activity and effects alone, are in fact elegant. The creature actually dodges attacks fluidly, something rarely seen in city crunching monster flicks. The reason other reviewers may well be harsh on the same subject is that these selfsame creatures and effects are poorly applied to the canvas so-to-speak. As though the glue on a paste-up were showing around the edges of the artwork. A direct description would be, the effects are translucent appearing and must be judged apart from the film itself... no really they must be judged apart ... because the effects LOOK like they ARE apart from the film. Too bad... the bad news out-weighs the good when the storytelling presentation is finally viewed.

How on earth do movies like this get made? Is it like... "Hey! I've got a few hundred thousand to spare. Let's write a lame script with lots of bad dialogue, hire dozens of mediocre actors and throw in a bunch of stupid special effects! What a great idea!"There many scenes and lines that were just pointless. There were just there to fill up time. Then there was the lame 'B' plot about (plot spoiler again) the secret goverment agency trying to get their hands on the aliens. The whole development of this plot is little more than "I can't let the good guys destroy the monster, because then the aliens won't come down. And I must have the aliens. Bwahahah."Huh?

This is by far one of the worst sci-fi flicks of all time. The special effects were so glaringly artificial I might as well have been playing a computer game instead of watching a movie. The writing and acting are gratingly amateurish, in fact, I have seen student films that are more professionally executed. Reptilian and his alien cohorts look like wasted refugees from "Power Rangers". If this pops up on the Sci-Fi Channel again avoid at all costs.
