This movie is just terribly bad. There is nothing good about it. You can only mix it with alcohol and friends... The script seems to be written be a kindergarten child, there is no direction whatsoever, acting is laughable, and CGI is horrible... It is just a simple propaganda movie , like for example Barbie but the other way around. The Hong-Kong cinema was rather good but the Chinese one is only the manifestation of political thought with basically nothing more. In this movie you can see that the creators were all the time focused on ideological content. In other words - it is just an imitation of a movie...

I like SF actions and this did not disappoint. It's about the alien's invasion and people trying to save earth from the alien. It was interesting enough to keep me watching.

I enjoyed this movie. The dialog sometimes was a bit childish. I'm certain that the language barrier contributed to that. I found the storyline to be unique and that the world and the aliens to be well thought out and the special effects to be really good. The weakness of the movie was the dialog and the actions of the actors. It's like they hired a teenager to do the script and personal interactions. The fight scenes were good and the sacrifices were well done. If you're looking for a little bit of entertainment that doesn't require much thinking and you can overlook some bad dialog then I think that you will enjoy this movie.

The plot was reasonably fresh and mostly logical. The actors delivered acceptable performances. The outfits were good. The setting was quite acceptable. The ending was, predictable, and left unanswered questions.

What got me to watch this excuse of a movie is all the high praise in a few of the reviews posted. The Earth attacker is a Kunzi, a massive bug like creature with a gaping mouth (with teeth) which spawns huge number of Kuns, 2 meter bug like creatures which have devastated Earth. The CGI for the Kuns is done well, but the other major CGI with the flying vehicles loses it when they are outside on the Earth's surface, and it just look so fake. The survivors have fled to protected underground cities. Those cities have skyscrapers in them. The military has hopes to use an electromagnetic ray to destroy the Kunzi, but the city the weapon is located in has been breached by the Kuns, and left in ruins, but the weapon is intact. I think young kids might enjoy the movie, probably under the age of 15, since the script was likely written by those even younger. The initial concept of the Kuns is interesting, but the script falls apart with nothing new and very uninteresting since it is all too predictable. And yes, it continues with the Chinese movie 'requirement' having one person who is able to perform at a level far beyond any mere mortal human. Two stars because of the interesting concept the movie started with. But it really is a terrible movie beyond that.
