Tragic syfy movie that should never have been made
This would probably be in the worst 100 science fiction movies of all time. The script writers obviously passed it off to their kids. The director didn't come out of his trailer, the stars should have stayed in theirs. The special effects were the best part of the film, and these looked like a high school project. The sets are ridiculous, the military installations are positively laughable. The only people in this film that actually seemed to pay attention to their job was the wardrobe department, but then military uniforms do not require that much imagination. Why does syfy create this rubbish? I suspect it so that people will turn of the television and go outside in the sun for a few hours. At least that would be a reasonable justification for making this film. Considering watching this film - it is not even bad enough to be funny - just don't and say you did. No one will know the difference. I pretty sure the editor stopped watching it during the cutting.
New Lows for SYFY Imagine Greater Budgets Please
OK let me admit I am often mildly entertained in that this movie is so bad kinda way when I watch the Syfy Satruday Movie Spectacular. Because they are such spectacularly badly made films and on the off occasion there is a good sometimes even great film hiding there,well not this time. I want my 45 minutes back thats how far I got before I just couldn't take it anymore a first for me. Normally I sit through the terrible movies while playing on my laptop. I couldn't do it and in fact had to go see the real Battle Los Angeles today due to feeling so grimy from the previous night. The story if you can call it that is a fusion of Skyline and Battle L.A. and several other films the acting is worse the horrible with a script so poorly written I can't believe anyone green lighted it. CGI is so bad yet had scope it just didn't have detail or quality had this movie been released ten years ago u might have thought how cool was that but now its like wth I seen better CGI in commercials, even some films from ten years ago look better than this omg its just that bad avoid at all costs.
Not worth the time.
Cheap CG and blue screen battles aliens.
Made for TV.
Derivative. It's got pods and the queen from Alien, worms from Dune (or maybe it's a sarlacc from Star Wars), and acting from the original Star Trek.
Obviously trying to ride on the back of a major motion picture with nearly identical title.
Not really anything positive about it, unless you're bored with no other sci-fi to watch.
Where are the MST2K bots when you need them?
Right up there with Plan 9 From Outer Space, but not as entertaining.

I lasted 7 minutes and 32 seconds....
....and then it was just too much. I really have no point of reference, since i never saw anything remotely as bad as this, but definitely worst movie ever shot. Its worth seeing it only to understand how other movies are good in comparison. Even the bad ones. Is there any chance that i can sue asylum for a bag of popcorn and can of coke that i spent in those 7 minutes of my life that i wasted on this?? I understand problems with low budget movies, technical aspects of it all, but Flash Gordon was a low budget movie a century ago and compared to this is a master piece. Now i seriously suggest to avoid this insult to a movie industry world wide at all costs. And this is coming from a guy who endured an ex girlfriend sobbing after Leo di Caprio in a theater with wooden chairs for 2 and a half hours just to see Titanic sink. I can endure pain but i just found out my limits!
...it could take the place of worst movie ever!
Without a doubt, this is the single most horrific display of a low budget Syfy (dare I say) 'original' movie that I have ever laid eyes on. Considering the unbelievably cheesy acting and Jr. High computer class special effects, it's a complete mystery to me that this was actually written, approved and then funded albeit just barely. As if that wasn't enough, it was actually captured on video and edited, sent out for the final review and then advertised, scheduled and finally... tragically, broadcast on a major network. Yet, nowhere along the way did anybody stop and say... "holy mackerel, this is a complete piece of dung! We can't release this..." Nope! It was shamelessly put forth upon the world and I had the misfortune of seeing it with my own eyes and could not believe what I was witnessing. It's very possible that this production will live in infamy for EONS. And if more people than the 275 remaining Syfy channel fans actually get a chance to see this piece of ...., it could take the place of worst movie ever!
