One thing you can say about Neil Breen's film-making career is that he is gradually improving on the technical side of things. In a relative sense, at least.
This movie has a far less ambiguous morality than Breen's debut, 'Double Down'. There's a message here, and you really can't miss it. In fact, the message is the same as 'Birdemic', as it firmly gets behind behind renewable energy and protecting the environment. Many earnest speeches hammer this home, as do the baddies' conversations about how bad they are.
The Being (Breen) falls to earth in a paperweight, then manifests in the desert with stigmata and some circuit boards attached to his arms and chest. It is made clear that he created the earth and he is not at all happy about how it has turned out.
The movie follows the fortunes of various characters, whose lives are redeemed or punished by The Being's intervention. I won't give too much away, but there's some unconvincing screaming, several repeated scenes and lots of heavy symbolism. There is also lots of exposition and enough Breen-esque voice-overs to satisfy the faithful.
Neil Breen films are unique. Until you have seen one, you won't really get his unique vision. They are also a textbook showreel of getting it wrong that all film students should study.
