Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
junk-monkey Every film should have a drinking game. It's the law.For this film - and possibly (given what I have seen of his other works,)all of Neil Johnson's movies - what you need are some very honest people and a LOT of drink. These are the rules:Every two minutes pause the film and ask, "Has anyone got any idea at all what is going on?" and if no one can honestly come up with ANY rational explanation for the previous scene then everyone takes a shot. The beauty of this game is that after twenty minutes when everyone is paralytically drunk the thing might actually start to make some sense.I can think of no other way of making the idea of watching this a good idea.The alternative game is taking a shot every time the camera does that slight reframing of a spaceship in flight thing that they used to do a lot in Battlestar Galactica.
Gordon Brown Seriously this type of release should be banned and the producers sued for releasing it to the public. The only slightly positive reviews are probably from the blind and deaf or from the people involved in the making of this junk.There should be a level at which a film is called out as nothing but a mistake and all involved should be prevented from making any other films ever again, any salary paid for this should be returned to the investors and any profits from conning people should be refunded and on top of that money paid to the viewers for the time wasted watching this, time is money and this was a loss for everyone involved.From disgustingly bad acting, to terrible scenery that was never believable to the lack of a storyline or the following of any storyline is a crime to the film industry. This is when the industry should be sued till they bleed and forced to never release anything like this ever again.Damn if i did such a bad job i would be fired and everyone would be warned about hiring me.Thanks to this film i did not get laid and had to masturbate to get any satisfaction, but as one reviewer says it was not even worth masturbating over any of the actors who were worse than any porn acting, so i had to masturbate over GOT which is just sad on my part
MichaelW before you read this just Know I adore all things sci-fi, however here I must draw a lineWhen I first picked up this movie my first reaction was "Well this might be half interesting, but I'll give it a go" Never have I been so wrong. After the first 15 minutes I was left sitting there wondering how any of what I was watching won any awards at all.After enduring the entirety of the film I was left wondering why a fan flick made it onto DVD. The CGI wasn't half bad though, some rather nice cut-scenes as well however the inescapable fact remains. This was a horrible film with very little plot.I can see what they were going for though, a federation which is like a mash-up between Firefly & Starship Troopers coupled with ships modeled after X-Wings, Wraith cruisers crossed with Star Trek federation type ships with a little Battle Star Galactica thrown in & a bad guy that resembled a religious version of Palpatine. It just screams FAN MADE MOVIE, honestly if I had of encountered it on a fan flick site I would have given it a much higher and glowing review because for a fan made movie I would give it a solid 7/10 however this is not confined to the sci-fi pages of the internet.Albeit after the first half hour or so if you lower your standards enough and don't expect much from it, try easing yourself into it a bit it make for a mediocre time killer at best, although I would have rather just re-watched Firefly or Starship Troopers as it turns out.
lloydcodrington-161-56075 I am a sci-fi fan and so it comes as standard that I expect to see some terrible films along the way to my end of days, but after watching this I thought my end of days had come. Got to be the most terrible film I've had the sad misfortune to see, not sure I can afford the therapy to tell you the truth.Man takes over ship told to fire at the earth, said ship happens to be a planet killer. There is an 'Overseer', as you can imagine, must be killed. There's an army of bad actors, oops 'h'ollywood top earners all doing their best to make the script sound like, well, as it is complete and utter rubbish.For some unknown reason the producer writes at the end that there's a second film he thinks is on the way. If he's planning on crowd funding the he best hope he can find the biggest crowd this whole world has ever seen as it will need a large pool of 1 penny's to get part two of the ground let alone into space.
