Worst film I have seen in my life ! Switched it off after 30 mins !,, how did this film ever get off the ground ? Do not waste your life watching it
Oh boy ... worth watching as an exercise in how to make a really naff film. Despite an interesting plot twist, the acting and production were dreadful ... spent the first half of the film wondering what on earth (forgive the pun) was going on. Reviewing while a huge credits rolls past ... really, most of these people should get a different job.
Initially intriguing, this bog-standard Independence Day cheapo is awful in too many ways. Some of the actors do impossible jobs with the astonishingly bad script. The plot starts off ok but quickly becomes nonsensical, then even the makers give up the ghost and just make do with inocherent action scenes. The SFX hint at the level of ambition the filmmakers have but they fall far short of realising the scale and need to convince. Cardboard sets, bad CGI and bad lipsynching make this a turkey. Pity Toyah Willcox who cameos as a care worker, as she puts in a serious performance, whilst all else chases its tale and begins to turn into a sentimental, soppy, preachy, quasi-religious, scientology-type mishmash of weak ideas.
Very bad, but at least it tried for a while to offer something original and new, but that's probably an accident as nothing else done by design seems to have come off well... War of the Worlds in Birmingham this ain't!
PS: why is the leading lady Lucy Drive credited as Roxi Drive in this?
