Best movie ever!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

They're supposed to be Navy Seals according to the banner from Comcast. There are no Majors in the Navy. The Gold Oak Leaf is the rank for a Luitenant Colonel. Also, the Two vertical bars on the "Captain" are the rank of Luitenant in the Navy, not a Captain. A Captain in the Navy wears a silver eagle, and is the equivalent of a Colonel in the other services. If he were Marines, Army, or Air Force, he would be a "Captain", but not in the Navy.It's pretty simple - all of the services in DOD use the same officer structure, EXCEPT for the Navy. The CG also uses Navy ranks, though it is part of Homeland Security (formerly CG was DOT). If you're going to make a movie, TV show, or mini-series, you can at least check the basics.

Once again, I admonish anyone against sending Dave to the Blockbuster alone (see my comment on "Showdown at Area 51"). Dave, being a HUGE trekker (not a trek-EE, dammit!), decided that the presence of Robert Picardo and George Takei meant that this bad boy would be a sure-fire WINNER! I needed three 22-ounce screwdrivers (poured half-and-half) to make it though this snooze-fest. The best part was when Takei, in one of the most poignant spurts of film irony ever, yells with utter conviction, "WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON BACK THERE!?" God, have we gotten some mileage out of that quote! Other than that, this film, despite the presence of Tim Thomerson, has absolutely NOTHING to recommend it. Please, please, don't go down this path. You will feel like the morning after getting roofied at a party at Takei's house: strangely violated and emotionally dead.

Wow. Some of my favorite actors are completely wasted in this movie. They try, some more than others, but they can't save this clunker of a script in the hands of an incompetent director. Oh look, the writer and director are the same person: Jim Wynorski.You can tell that this movie had a reasonable budget, but Jim Wynorski doesn't know what to do with it. All of his shots are uninspired and clunky. Likewise, the editing is amateurish. A first year film student could do better.The CGI effects are clean, but they are not integrated well into the live action scenes. Human actors react to things that don't happen, or are out of sync with the CGI action. For example, while being attacked, someone is thrown to the ground by a CGI robot that never gets anywhere close to the actor.Additionally, the music is really lame. Casio keyboard quality from someone's basement.But the worst element is the script. Everything about it is terrible. The story, the lines and the characters are all pathetic.The only things keeping the movie from being a 1 rating are the actors and the rest of the production staff. The camera work is good, as are the costumes, sets, sound, etc. i.e. it's a well-made crappy movie.

Another made-for-Tele movie which is completely horrible. There is barely any plot, the acting, writing, and of course the god-awful directing of today's worst director and Ed Wood impersonator, Jim Wynorski, who, when not making terrible plot less porn movies with hideous women, is making crappy straight to video or Sci-fi "original" movies. Basically this is a bad rip-off of War of the worlds, and to top it all off, it's another failed attempt of a Sci-fi original movie. If Sci-fi continually pulls bad ideas out of their ass with overtones of someone Else's' films, then the horror business if being dug to an early grave. Which is sad because I am a horror filmmaker myself of what one may call 'b-flicks' but when I see these computer-generated bloody bull-crap, it makes me want to throw up. If this movie comes on the Tele again, kill yourself, it will make you hate your remaining life.
