ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

tjonesy1970 I recorded this SYFY movie on my DVR today in the hopes it would serve as a guilty pleasure. I finally had a break in my day and decided to watch the movie. The opening credits started with a shot of what I believe to be the Milky Way. As Jason London's name appears (who I have enjoyed in other movies), I see what looks like 4 transparent planets. Kind of corny, but I try to go with the flow of the movie.As the opening credits continue, our solar system comes into view. I am almost positive I did a better model of the solar system in Mr. Yonker's 4th grade than this movie did in the opening credits. In my mind, I am reciting the silly sentence I was taught to remember the planets, "My (Mercury) Very (Venus) Educated (Earth) Mother (Mars) Just (Jupiter) Served (Saturn) Us (Uranus) Nine (Neptune) Pizzas (Pluto)." It would take too long to explain the moons and planets that were misrepresented or completely missing from the rest of the opening credits. Let's just say, the only moon shown was Earth's and it appeared to be the same size as our planet and about 500 miles away.Twenty minutes into this movie I am trying to figure out why it was ever released. I decided to go onto IMDb and do some research. I have been more entertained by the people that have left reviews about the movie, than the actual movie itself.My favorite excerpt comes from reviewer, J Bartell: "Apparently, a group of bad Aliens, the "Cronen" are waiting for us to generate enough pollution to meet their needs when they will swoop in, kill us all and swipe our toxic waste. When the requisite female scientist asked the obvious question "Why kill us, we'd be glad to give them all they want for free" the only answer is "They don't negotiate". What are they, the Bush Administration? Not to mention the obvious fact that if they kill us all our ability to generate more pollution is zero, whereas if they just hauled it all away we'd make more than ever (just imagine if the EPA removed all restrictions, we would be a toxic goldmine). This is kind of like harvesting apples by cutting down the trees with a chainsaw and burning the stumps. And what kind of civilization doesn't know how to create pollution? The Bizarro world? "Me make car runs on smog and makes clean air. Me sad." Anyway, the plot revolves around a good alien sent here by someone to try to stop them by shutting down the "Omega Seed", which is the alien sensor that determines when the pollution level is adequate for harvesting. Turns out it's buried under a futuristic manhole cover in a barn. Makes you wonder what the farmer thought it was. 'Dang it Clem, I done told ya not to park the tractor on the Omega Seed'." This is the person who should have written the screenplay for this movie.

djderka The energy crisis has been solved. Turns out an alien race can use our carbon emissions for their own planet. Easy answer to all our current issue with the planet.Jude and some dude in ancient alien underwater "flight"suit, battle it out on our planet. They are both visitors from outer space. This costume reminded me of the old 50's A whopping 3 million was spent on this flick. I think making these films does provide employment and training ground for film/video folks and good experience before they graduate to making a commercial movie. These SyFy movies are the fast food of the industry. You start flipping burgers and move up to management. Direct a few SyFy movies and move up to theatrical release.The costume for the "gas mask" alien was surely inspired by Road Warrior. But the cutout butt cheeks were missing on this thrown together, jury rigged design. Visit a salvage store, buy tons of surplus, thrown them on an alien. His outfit reminded me of the 50's flick with the gorilla with the diving helmet.Jason and GiGi work with Jude, the other alien, to save the planet. Jason seems unable to master the RPG. Perhaps they should have given it to a Russian. Jason took about 5 minutes to aim but never fire the RPG. He should take a training class. At one time he has the aim but is distracted. I like the scene where he "debates" the bad alien, who tries to convince him that he is really the good guy. He turns off his squealing vocals to English. "I am saving the planet the other guy is a terrorist." In movies like this you really need a few hot chicks with 36DD cleavage to keep a guys interest. Really. And tight shorts and t-tops. GiGi just doesn't make the grade, but she is cute. And you need a "get wet" scene somewhere, like in P2.The only sexy scene is where Jude tells GiGi to "slide the ether rod into the terminal port" to save the planet from invasion. She is carrying around a dildo type device for a lot of the movie and this dialog is loaded with innuendo.If it comes on the SyFy channel, you might check it out. The squealing alien sounded like a lifted audio track from a Godzilla movie.

SpirkSlasher I'm a writer, so I totally get what people are saying about plot holes and such, but it's a good film. Very action-packed, and you could pick out your clichés with your eyes closed, which can be fun.Jake was funny, and I'm so glad he managed to shoot the Jeep; at least -somebody- understands that stopping the vehicle is far more practical than aiming to kill the driver.Monica was okay, as far as relatively unimportant female love interests go, and it amused me that she was shrieking for Jude during the scene in the forest despite obviously being meant to be Jake's love interest. She's only rather pretty, too, which is always a plus when you've gotten used to love interests who exist solely for the male audience to gawk at (Mikaela from the new Transformers movies, I'm staring you down, right between the eyes.).Jude, well, Jude was awesome. He had this amusing twitch in the right side of his face, and I was thinking it would make an interesting drinking game. Also, I found his protectiveness when concerning Jake to be very, very, -very- sweet. This is the sort of thing that differentiates the good aliens from the evil, world-asploding aliens. However, he had a very out-of-character moment when he shot Diamond Joe and kidnapped (for lack of a better term) Monica, which confused me immensely, given that I'd been lead to believe he was a good guy.Kronnan was a useful villain and a good liar, but there's not much else to say about the guy.

lastliberal It is hard to imagine that my attention would be directed away from Christa Campbell, but Farscape star Gigi Edgley managed to do just that. Campbell (Death by Engagement, Revamped) was very evident in the first part of the film, but Edgley took over and saved us from the evil aliens. Well, Jason London (Dazed and Confused) helped her a bit.It was the aliens that really stole the show. The good alien (unnamed on IMDb) was trying to stop the evil alien, with massive tricks up his sleeve, from destroying Earth to harvest our spent nuclear fuel. We would have gladly given it to them! The alien battles were very reminiscent of the Terminator.References to Area 51 and the crash at Roswell in 1947 made this more interesting for conspiracy fans.
