Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
ladybug2535 Woefully minuscule budget drags down the promise of this film. I DO understand why this movie is rated very low; among other things the sound quality is horrendous which in some spots makes it virtually impossible to follow the dialogue. Turn it up so you can hear one part of the conversation then the other participant blasts your eardrums--and the soundtrack for most of the movie is downright annoying.There are some decent bits here--the dialogue isn't bad for the most part, and neither is most of the acting(I obviously disagree with some of the reviewers here). I think the acting is negatively affected by the sound issues and bad editing. As it is, I was particularly impressed with the leads and some of the characterizations were interesting. There are a few original bits here that you don't tend to see in films of this type--such as the acknowledgment of PTSD. bereavement, loss and the ongoing problems of sexual harassment (which unfortunately apparently all continue even far into the future). I would have liked to have seen an expanded view on their interactions and the effects on a population after a large portion has been wiped out and forced into hiding, but instead we get a focused and all-too familiar picture of Marines in the future working with the strangely anachronistic tech of 2016 (anachronistic for the far future anyway).The story is familiar and straight forward. Sure there are the usual clichés, and the FXs were more like something you'd see in the 90s instead of 2007, but overall it's a bit of entertainment to while away an hour or two that didn't make me feel as if I wasted my time. This is (nominally) a science fiction film but it plays more like any war movie and even the settings, technology and relationships are far too fixed in today's time period--which detracts from the story line and shows a lack of imagination. I imagine budget constraints prevented any real play with the tech but the script could have demonstrated at least SOME advancements in soldiering (at minimum treatments for the psychological issues--just a little research into cutting advancements could have served as inspiration) and how they deal with life and death challenges. They did this very well in "Aliens" as an example--tech played only a small part in updating the military force--the soldiers were familiar and yet their interactions and tactics were believably updated for that future). I'd love to see what the creators could do with a real budget.
anymountain You can bet any review that says something good about this film was written by someone with a personal stake. Especially if it mentions something specific. The sound mix is horrible, the editing is amateur, the cinematography is unexplainable, the directing is non-existent.The story and writing are so hack and derivative of other films, that I recommend the best way to watch this movie is a game where you have to shout out what movie each line or prop is based on, in turn. The guy who brakes the chain drinks.These guys have made half a dozen feature films, how is that possible? That is a HUGE accomplishment, who gives these guys money. This movie is like watching a paintball club playing out a scene from a star trek movie.
eagle711 This was probably the worst movie i have ever seen Bad graphics, really bad acting seriously students straight out of acting school would have done better, seemed to me none of these so called actors had any acting skills at all. Graphics were so bad the special FX arm was there any u could have done better with an amiga 500 editing was so that some times i didn't know what was up or down and over using same old seens over and over again, the bad music was like soft porn music and don't get me started on the monster which was a sock puppet, now they r making another my god and i also think there was one before this sequel. Try not to fall asleep watching this gem.
wcs-6 This is one of the saddest movies I have ever watched..We are supposed to write 10 lines of commentary on this? The best acting done in the entire movie is done by the computer animated space ships.. The human acting is on par with Ms. Gelder's 4th grade school play.. There is possibly a good story here, but it is never developed by the cast.. The cast should have been cast out and a new one hired.. The setting is supposed to be on some remote planet outside of Pluto. Any planet that far from the sun would have a frozen atmosphere. Yet we watch our rag tag band of heroes tromping through some bright, sunny earth-like terrain dressed in common winter clothing in search of their objective. If you are looking for the perfect gift for that supervisor you hate, this is it. This is a waste of your time and the plastic used to make the DVD.. A definite STAY AWAY flick..Bill
