B movie with all the flaws
The movie starts out with earth under attack and the population who apparently only is 20 people is evaccing off the planet in space ships. The main character is a soldier that ends up on one of the ships during the assumed chaos. He wakes up from hibernation and find the crew is hunted by stealthy aliens. The acting is pretty bad. It has the all the flaws a b movie has when its bad, shaky handcam wooden dialogs plot holes and non likable characters. Like all bad b movies it feels the need to keep a high pace without it adding content. Airsoft guns and some cgi and you have it nailed down. There is no reason to care about anyone since its not believable or developed. The background is not explained or anything else either. I think the reason for the high pace is to try and avoid showing the flaws in the acting but it only makes it worse. So you starts the story nowhere and it goes nowhere and in the meantime its not any point to get interested. Avoid it if you can.
Poor Acting, Poor Graphics, Poor Editing
I found the graphics to be very poor failing to look any where near real. Sound effects were poor too. The editing was bad using the same area multiple times for two different locations. A prop started out as just very basic then in flight ended up being a much higher level prop. I really had high hopes for this movie hunting it down on Red Box and rushing home to watch it. The acting was poor and hard to watch. This is my first time reviewing a movie. I am doing so because I now know how important it is. Reviewing movies can save someone time, driving, and money. If you love Space Sci-Fi this movie might not cut it for you.
I've seen better...
But, I've seen worse, too, although I can't remember exactly when. As has already been pointed out, the acting was not great, although there were a couple of bright spots. Though there was an interesting germ of an idea at the core of this story, the writing was horrible. However, I think the more seasoned actors did the best with what they had. Both Adrian Paul and Richard Grieco have been around for years and have had some pretty good projects in the past and they clearly made an effort. With that said, I'll give it one star for the writing, one for the acting and two more for the two best things about this movie - the Costa Rican scenery and Bali Rodriguez, which I guess could also be considered Costa Rican scenery.
This movie is worth seeing at least once because it has heart.
The forlorn bury themselves in romantic movies for the purpose of feeding a love-starved existence. Testosterone junkies crave action movies to get the blood pumping in their dull life. Science Fiction and Fantasy are my opiates and my toxins. I overdose on them because they offer an escape while challenging my mind to justify the laws of physics ingrained in me from my classroom days. They can make anything up and require little to prove it, yet it wraps together so we can make some sense of it by exercising our imagination. Science Fiction means the future, the future means survival. Tossing in adventure or forbidden alien love satisfies my other needs. I am not so complex. We bury ourselves in a storyline, even if only for 90 minutes. Some movies drag on, showing things which do not add to the story, but fluff it up enough to call it a movie. Greedy executives cut away what the director or writer dreamed, in the name of adding an extra show to the daily rotation for quicker profits. This movie suffered from neither malady. Everything presented was necessary to the plot. While the dialog was not Wadsworth prose or a Shakespearean sonnet, I was not disappointed. Armchair critics have high expectations and pan movies in a lemming-like fashion instead of thinking for themselves and appreciating it for what it is; entertainment to fill a slow day or slower night. While not "Lucas" or "Spielberg", the director did a great job. Scenes were in focus, and their tiny budget would barely cover the catering costs for a major production, let alone exceptional special effects, yet this movie was not defined by computer assisted enhancements. The clarity of the voices meant we could all enjoy the film without turning on subtitles which is a plus so we were not distracted from the movie. They could have put on a cheesy lens filter to turn the flora purple or pink, or added plastic plants of similar tones, but sticking with the truth made the ending that much more credible. That lack of a grandiose budget was probably the ultimate reason we were not over-exposed to large colonies of aliens, or chases through buildings and aircraft filled skies. The plot was strengthened by it. In this story, Earth was in its death-throes after being conquered by an alien race. Lifeboats (space ships) were launched to send humanity to different planets to find a new home. The fact that there were at least 2 distinct Earth vessels that arrived on the same planet opened up a question which went unanswered until the end. There were the good characters, and protective military characters, and of course the selfish "I don't care if everyone else dies, so long as I live" characters. These humans from different departure points met up when the ship we were watching at the beginning crash-landed where the other ship's survivors were being held prisoner (convenient!) We were also introduced to two different alien races, one light-skinned that was visible, the other a translucent (like "Predator") that was mostly invisible. The first was just trying to stay alive, and both they and the Earth people were being shot down by some electrical pulse energy weapon. In the process of staying alive, one of the visible aliens became part of the human group. She had been a prisoner with the other Earth people and knew some English. She was a survivalist, and very pretty with skin colored like the surrounding jungle. The Star Trek "Data" styled "TIM", (an android) was semi-helpful but not spouting robotic laws as defined by Asimov. His path was not to become more human, but merely to protect those he was with, even if he died doing it. There was nothing cliché in his role since logic dictates if we could build a robot to help on an alien world, it would be like him. They ran to survive, but the goal became to leave the planet, and in order to do that, they had to recover a craft they spotted in the first five minutes (while crash-landing of all things). Then they had to get the locals to combine with them against the chameleons while the greedy were making their own plans to take over. And let us not forget about the forbidden alien love that was starting to blossom. I must admit, for a camouflage-tinted woman, the love interest of the main character (Adrian Paul) was beautiful. She had a similar appearance to a Sci-Fi favorite of mine, Summer Glau, like maybe a younger sister, or cousin. To conclude, I often purchase movies like this in the $5 DVD pile and I will collect this one as well. It was far more interesting than Outerworld or many of the others that have appeared as Original Movies on the Sci-Fi Channel. My point is if we support what they put out, they will be encouraged to continue producing, and really good Independent Films will be the result. I hate reality shows. The movie "Idiocracy" points out where we are heading with them. Lol. Not every movie will be a Blockbuster, but there will be some entertainment. It beats 12 naked people on an island armed with spears and monitored 24/7 for our (gag) enjoyment. I am an easier grader than most, and if something is 5 stars or above (out of 10), it is worth seeing, even if only once. I will watch this one several more times for sure.
A E has all the clichés in scifi movies and basks in them
A Thunder Levin flick. Exciting beginning,Kind of STARSHIP TROOPERS. Then the crew lands on a Alien Planet ? and goes into PREDATOR film territory. We get a 'Sci-Fi Channel' swim ( That means the scream queens tiny bikini AIN'T coming off) aka AVATAR. The title is similar to a 10 year old CG flick TITAN A.E.. It has two of our favorite B-Movie tough Guys ADRIAN PAUL (Highlander) and RICHARD GRIECO (21 Jumpstreet). The spaceships are really nice,The aliens are BAD (Predator mode) and GOOD (THE MOLE PEOPLE) and the ending was a Great Payoff.
