Reviews

Protraph Lack of good storyline.
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
RealBohemian Yes, I watched the whole thing. I kept laughing through most of it, when I wasn't feeling sick to my stomach from gratuitous blood, viscera, and black or red slime. No, there are no aliens in this movie. No, there are no zombies in this movie. Zip. Zilcho. Not a one. If you LOVE gratuitous gore used in place of a halfway decent story, this is for you. If you LIVE FOR pastiches of other movies with not a single original idea, this is for you. (If you don't know what a pastiche is, that's when an idiot puts together more than one story other people came up with and pretends the combo is a new idea. This movie is a straight "Alien 1" plus a straight "Resident Evil 1" plus...are you ready for this...? Oh, how about I don't tell you, you can guess when I explain what IS in this movie, since it has no aliens and no zombies.What IS in this movie is....THE DEVIL! When you stop laughing and can keep reading, well, let me tell you...that's what all those spiky no-not-an-alien and bubbly no-not-a-zombie things are. (And the tentacle monster as well!) They are MINIONS. That's what happens when the "infected" die off...the demonic biomatter in them begins restructuring them into minions of Lucifer...which is the dead body that the research team has bought from Russia where it was stored since being discovered in WWII and has been pulling DNA from and cloning...and how do I know this? The head scientist tells the mercenaries that near the end.See what you find out when you actually watch the entire turkey? Anyway, there you have your third movie that was mixed into this mess.It only deserves a one because the spaceship was nicely done, and the actors really tried hard.
JAnders85 Total rubbish. nothing more than a poorly written, poorly acted rip off of a dozen better films- Aliens and Resident Evil being the biggest, but you get cut rate versions of Doom, Event Horizon and Evil Dead. The Necrinoicon shows up. And it's the actual Necrinoicon from the Evil Dead series, just covered in goo. The film is so boring and the characters so brain numbing that the movie feels like it goes on for a week. Next time try writing something original and interesting to go with the half way good looking sets and make up. And hire some decent actors. The Guy who's trying to rip off "Hicks" from Aliens through the whole movie is so pathetic anyone who puts him in a film should be arrested. The way he orders and pushes around well known tough guy actor Ozzie Devrish is so stupid and ridiculous. He's not a tough guy or a good actor, and making Ozzie weak by taking it from him just makes the whole film reek at another level. utter rubbish.
angryoldman44 Why the hell are there ratings higher than 1 for this utter rip off of Aliens meets Predator?! I watched this last night and found myself calling out the names of various films this film rips off. Aliens! Predator! Doom! It's not an homage to awesome films, its a blatant rip off.The story? Forget it it's non-exsistent. The sets? Really quite impressive, I just wish I could see them other than in close ups. The characters? Cardboard cut outs putting on the worst manly voices you'd ever hear. Seriously they all talk in deep booming voices the entire time with dialogue that makes me want to rip out my eyes and ram them into my ears so I don't have to watch and listen to this floating fecal matter.At one point a certain character meets his demise and the camera stays with the guy for far too long. This might work if I knew anything about the guy or cared; but its a pointless moment in a film trying so desperately to have any emotional depth at all.Actually I lie, there IS emotional depth in there - laughter. There were several times when I burst out laughing in this film. All unintentional I'm sure but all originating from the scripts' woeful dialogue. The ONLY actor worth mentioning in this floating pile was Roslyn van Doorn who played the... again horribly named - Yutani. (Oh if only Ridley Scott could watch this). Van Doorn was quite good and I actually believed her despite everything else going on here. Although I think she would be better suited to drama. The other cast? You really don't want to know what I think of them.I turned it off after about an hour fifteen simply because my time is more valuable than wasting it on this stinker.
kosmasp And fortunately for them no one can see you filming either ... But all joking aside, this movie tries really hard and I can see that some people really like it's (low budget) appeal. It does not offer anything new though and although I appreciate the passion a reviewer put into his comment here (giving it 10/10 for one thing), but I don't think he/she will find many people agreeing and/or admitting, that the story is great ... quite the contrary.But again, this movie does not speak to fans of big budget movies and though I am a fan of small budget movies, it just does not offer that much, that I can sink myself into. It's kinda nice and it's cinematography is kinda nice for the budget, the sets are OK too. There is potential here, but a lot goes wasted. On the characters on the (predicatble) story and so forth.If you do have a heart for small movies, you might enjoy this action sci-fi try out ...
