I saw a trailer for this a couple of years ago and almost didn't see it because of the low rating on IMDb. And I still don't get why this is trashed so much, its no masterpiece but what is nowadays?
Its an original sci-fi end of the world entertaining movie that doesn't have aliens as little green men and its set in moscow, nice to see a backdrop of a major world city that isn't in the US. The whole idea of "electrical" aliens was in my mind well - executed and the CGI effects were fine.
This is a relatively short movie and there could have been some more plot development and it would have been nice to see what was happening in other cities but this is a great addition to this genre and should not be missed

I'm a big fan of vigilante/revenge thrillers and with roger donaldson as director and cage, pearce and a good supporting cast with xander "24" berkely and harold "lost" perrineau I had high hopes for this one, But this one was implausible from the word go, you could drive a bus thru some of the plot holes which are too many to mention here. The acting was also second rate, it all appeared rushed and contrived. And there was little to no suspense here, just a bunch of cliché ridden scenes. Not for the first time, I'm surprised by the rating on here but there's a reason why these movies go straight to DVD, not even worth $5 in a walmart basket
modern day teen movies are so hard to watch, there's so much angst or schmaltz and they always have to have 25 year olds playing teens to give it some gravitas. This is down to earth and simple, anyone can identify with freddy highmore's character as the rebellious, non conformist youth who lusts after the always unavailable hottie. Its a great coming of age tale as in the end, george does step up to the plate and learns some great life lessons. A great cast of "character actors and actresses" are also assembled here and I have no doubt Highmore and Roberts will be headlining in the years to come. Its a shame there was such a limited release but I guess less is more
