Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

MOSSBIE This is the FIRST film I have ever scene where, when a soldier gets shot and killed actually screams OWWWW!! or screams in pain when hit. Other than that, when any film brings in religion as a subtext...That is, in a SciFi film, it simply does not work. Even Faith Domergue would have never worn a cross on a chain in her cult classic films. Has anyone noticed that in the last 10 years of film-making the book of GENESIS seems to appear more and more? As an instance where religion DOES show its face is in the H.G.Wells 2005 version of WAR OF THE WORLDS with C. Thomas Howell which did mention the BOOK OF REVELATIONS in its script. In this film, which got some fairly good ratings from viewers when I saw it on the SYFY Channel, when people die, they also do not make any noise of pain when they die. I believe H.G.Wells was an Atheist or Agnostic in case the writers of this version read his book. If anyone has ever been around a real death or wounding of a human, you will remember audible screams of pain.

Artdoag2 Okay, so this movie, shot on location in Europe, was direct to video. The special effects are passable and the plot will mostly pass muster. Great to see Billy D, David Keith, and Angel Boris on screen. While E-E doesn't break any new ground by recycling themes from Alien, The Rock, and Independence Day, as well as trying to pass off clearly European actors/extras as US soldiers, the plot point were interesting enough to keep me hooked. Also we get a break some seeing the same old familiar actors of A-list Hollywood populate the screen, a welcome selling point for me.The worst part for me was the *terrible* recreation of UH-60 Black Hawk cabin/seating area. OMG the producers built massively unrealistic studio sets to stand in for the interior. Quite blatantly cheap-o!

hagridsfang Hmm, that should sum it up right there, but I'll go into more detail. Okay, the story was pathetic. The Chinese randomly blow up a Russo/American space station and of course the two nations react and come close to a war with China. This somehow causes two alien objects to come up out of the ground, one that heals and one that destroys. When the waves of each of these collide, the earth would be re-terraformed and start over without humans. The only way that these aliens will leave is if they see their son that they got by impregnating Dr. Mason Rand's (David Keith) wife 10 years ago. Of course, they wait till the last couple minutes to bring his son, who also has healing powers and can bring people back to life. The acting was pitiful, I'll go over some huge standouts in a segment I like to call: What I Learned From This Movie:1. When soldiers are shooting at an armed enemy, they stand out in open space and fire randomly.2. Soldiers can look intimidating with their guns, but if you get into martial arts moves, they collapse.3. When shot in the leg, people can keep walking without noticing it for five seconds.4. Even though the aliens are 2-3 feet tall, the passageways to their structure is conveniently sized for humans to be comfortable.5. Ex-Special Ops cannot shoot a stationary target.The acting was pitiful the whole way through though. Keith did not have his best stuff at all. Not even close. It seems as if he tried way too hard to do a crappy job. The directing, to have at least that many noticeable major errors, is awful. He had more than that, those were just the first to come to mind. The visual effects were awful as well. The explosions looked fake, the Toris didn't look convincing at all, and the blood didn't even look real. I picked this up for a free rental because I thought it looked cool; that was a mistake. Avoid this one, you'll want your 90 minutes back.

gohmifune I wish I could've seen this high budget movie in theaters, i loved the first one, and it kept me interested throughout. The plot was very much the same as the first one mixed with a bit of Taken, but that isn't bad, very good in fact, the plot was good, the religious overtones worked real well like in the first movie. There was also good acting, David Keith was real natural in his role, and just about all the characters likable when supposed to be and dislikable when supposed to be. All in all, the best tho hours I've had in recent weeks. A good watch.
