Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Leofwine_draca SNIPER ELITE is a very low budget science fiction thriller that tries to go for the same style as EDGE OF TOMORROW, but instead fails quite miserably. It was shot out in the desert somewhere and has a bunch of soldiers battling aliens who have glowing blue eyes and blue blood. Our hero is a bone-headed grunt who falls in love with one of the alien women and thus undergoes a conflict of interest. B-movie stalwart Kevin Sorbo has a small cameo but mostly this is senseless, shot-on-the-cheap nonsense that's not even worth sitting through.
soulians I just watched it on Netflix. It's OK. The sci-fi part, I agree with some reviews, is not really present apart from the space station which doesn't play any interesting part in the movie. It is slow at the beginning, I had to watch it with subs so the alien's translations could appear.I liked the story, there is one indeed. The end is good too. Lots of killing, the alien race is rubbish at combat, it's almost boring to see them killed like mosquitos. The special effects aren't that creative but overall it was OK.
MoviegoerinWI I enjoyed this flick a lot. There was subtle propaganda in that a few of the characters appeared to be Pashto alongside the aliens, but if you are into the military/action genre, this coupled with a SciFi element made for a very interesting premise. There was some slow periods, but the SciFi angle really spiced it up.The only thing is that the command and control element hovering in low earth orbit appeared to be taken at a local fast food restaurant with red tables in the booths and the female military personnel wearing the type of baseball style caps you see them wearing in such restaurants. Maybe this is all meant for that audience.Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Nine out of ten stars.
derbo73 This movie is a bad sniper movie and an even worse science fiction movie. It looks cheap in all aspects. The CGI looks cheap and makes no sense at all. The bombardment scene in the beginning is a joke (a building collapsing like being demolished by carefully set explosive devices). The animations of vehicles look like SF games from the 90s.The costumes and weaponry are 90s Earth, on both sides (alien side too!). They did not even try to make them look different. Only the firing sound comes out of a PC and sounds just like that. The effects of bullet hits are erratic, sometimes solid rock explodes, sometimes a helmet face get's cut off as clean as with a laser torch, guy inside totally unharmed. Then suddenly, the "hero" starts running through enemy lines without any cover and takes them all out firing a pistol. Needless to say, that none of them shooting assault rifles hit him seriously, they already spent their luck moments before, cutting down his entire unit without resistance.The sniping techniques are beginners at best, most of the stuff shown is only show and has no real use. The reticules are fantasy style and use blurry hexagons to make shooting even harder.The movie has zero story. A few screens showing you beautiful young women try to tell you the basics of what has happened. Humans went to an alien inhabited planet and started a war. The "aliens" look 100% identical to humans (yeah, budget i know) wearing turquoise contact lenses. They speak in a rough makeup language producing metallic and static sounds that make no sense (no, they are not cybernetics). They wear black (evil color) suits and metal helmets that look a bit like a knight's helmet meets Darth Vader.The whole movie,yes the whole movie, is made up of scenes where the protagonists runs away, hides, sets up to snipe a few of his pursuers, then continues. Ah, and a few scenes on board a mysterious military station in orbit where officers watch and comment his actions but do NOTHING to help him.Finally he meets the damsel in distress, an alien woman, confronts a fellow human soldier (he must defeat him in close combat obviously) and get's saved by his enemy, the alien sniper because he showed mercy and compassion to the atrocities done to the aliens by humans (his comrades).The whole movie was an excuse to show someone use a sniper rifle (wrongly).If you are looking for a science fiction movie, skip it. If you are looking for a sniper movie, look further. Nothing else to be seen here. Overrated Miss Aiden doesn't add anything to the movie, even trying to look good is a pain here.One can only hope that the director will not raise any further money via Kickstarter to undertake another adventure into the realms of movie making. This movie was not even well-meant. If it was a student's first full movie attempt...no, even then it would disappoint.
