    Money-Laundering

    I couldn't watch this movie. It was like whoever made it, didn't want me to watch it. I'm not sure why someone made this. Maybe it was part of a tax shelter. Maybe it is money-laundering. Remember the plot for The Producers? They were trying to make a Broadway play, which would fail, so they could keep the investment money. Maybe that was the plan of whoever made this movie. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which has many indie films, foreign films, older major studio films, and now, live TV.

    Its not good.

    Starts out with scene showing alien spaceships will be here in 3 mo.

    By the time the movie really shows any significant "invasion", it will seem like 3 mos. in real time have elapsed.

    There is nothing extremely objectionable.

    But nothing redeeming at all either.

    How they got actors to take part in this production is a mystery.

    While set with a back-drop of folks with issues, you'll be reaching for your opium pipe in about 1/2 hr. Then you'll, like, be in the movie. Cool.

    Dead bore

    I love bad sci fi movies. Revel in the worst of the horror films. this one, however was so boring I had to give my first one star review. We follow the addicts while waiting for the alien invasion to mix things up. We wait ... and we wait ... and we wait..... ad nauseum. Give this one a pass.

    Utter Garbage

    Some movies, especially some cheesy sci-fi or horror flicks are "so bad they're good", this isn't one of those movies.

    I'm not one of those people that gives just 1 star or 10. This movie gets a one from me and it deserves it. It's just that bad from beginning to end.

    The writing is horrible.

    The acting is terrible.

    The plot is ridiculous.

    Effects are a joke even for a low budget flick.

    The characters are completely generic.

    The pacing sucks.

    The camera work sucks.

    The costume sucks.

    There is no story structure.

    The audio is badly done.

    It's hard to write a review of this film without giving spoilers, and the only reason I'm bothering posting this is in the hope that I spare someone else from wasting their time watching this awful train wreck of a movie.

    The title and poster are completely misleading. And whoever they quoted on the poster as saying "Indie Sci-Fi At It's Best" must have been either paid or on some serious mind altering drugs.

    Enjoyable Inde sci-fi

    As a lover of sci-fi and independent movies I found this little gem to be thoroughly enjoyable and lots of fun. The characters are pretty well fleshed out and the plot trots along as a slower pace than most of today's TV and movies, which is a refreshing break.

    Having found out how much the budget actually was,lower than previously thought, it is brilliantly made and the limits do not spoil anything. The outside shots are well thought out and the backgrounds are well though out and do not detract from the characters/story line.

    I would strongly suggest giving this a watch and have brought it myself.
