    I have never written a review of a film before.....but this film was so bad it should carry a government health warning! It was neither funny or scary, the special effects were of 70s standard and the acting was that wooden that Pinocchio would have been been the stand out actor.

    I would say that I didn't want to spoil the end by revealing it but it did that very nicely itself...

    The highlights were the girls in the movies who were easy on the eye but the dialogue and the acting was of level worse than I have witnessed or wish to do again....JCD whatever you were paid to appear in this movie..it wasn't enough.

    A cameraman who couldn't point straight it was like a very bad home movie...... AVOID! AVOID.......AND JUST TO BE CLEAR ....AVOID!

    Has to be a candidate for the worst film ever, the cast have no acting talent at all, the script has more wood than the Amazon and the pace of the film is slower than a Trabant.. total waste of eight pounds that the DVD cost. The film preview on the back of the DVD claims to be about UFO's yet the first half of the film contains none or seemingly anything leading up to them. Just some talentless "actors" going through some Shakespeareanesque wordy scenes seemingly trying to make the film look arty. (probably pushing things to actually call this rubbish a film) If your looking for entertainment go paint your shed or something. It will be far more entertaining than this dross.

    Avoid!!

    OK, what the hell did I just watch? What is this crap?

    Those who gave it high score, were on drugs. This movie doesn't deserve more than 1. It makes school plays I was on elementary school seem Star Wars-level compared to this.

    So, it's about UFO invasion on England............. and it's not about UFO invasion. Seriously, the beginning is TERRIBLE: we see a bunch of people being in a club drinking, dancing etc. and then going to home and having sex, while there is an implication about UFO.

    The acting was bad, the script is terrible, the dialogues are badly-written and badly-executed from the actors, who are very unlikeable and pretty much the whole thing is a big mess and I couldn't stand the directing and the camera shots, being all moving and making me feel dizzy. And how in the unholy name of the Great Old Ones did Van Damme got himself into this mess? Really slow time 'till the next Expendables, hmmmmmmm, monsieur JC?

    I could say that this is close to "The Room" in terms of awfulness, but with "The Room" you can a crapload of laughter from its awfulness and make jokes about it. But this doesn't even make you laugh. It makes you sick and disgusted from you see. This is one of those moments that movie piracy can save you and your money.

    Also, to the people who say that Sci-Fi doesn't need very good visuals and CGI and such: yes, you need them. Not Cameron's Avatar-level, mind you, but Sci-Fi is a genre that DEPENDS on good visuals. This isn't the 60s anymore where you had cheap-looking costumes and plastic masks and gloves and call it an alien. I remember renting a movie with friends from the video store, after university, called Alien Raiders. And even though that movie is bad, it has some entertainment value that is good to watch with friends, with pizza and Coca-Cola and make fun of it. This one makes you stop the movie and watch Mars Attack!, War of the Worlds (not the stupid Spielberg one), the old V, The Thing, Final Fantasy The Spirits Within and have more fun.

    This one doesn't deserve to be downloaded via torrents at all.

    Starring the offspring of iconic actors and boasting an appealing poster and a decent trailer, my expectations for the low budget British movie U.F.O. (not to be confused with the long forgotten Roy Chubby Brown vehicle from 1993) were high.

    Two Seans, Brosnan (who looks and sounds quite a bit like his father Pierce) and Pertwee (son of Jon), share the screen with one of Jean- Claude Van Damme offspring and several unknowns, plus there are spaceships and fight scenes. Sounds like a real feast for exploitation movie fans. I was excited and I guess a feeling of disappointment was inevitable.

    The problem is all in the execution. Sharing more in common with the all mouth and no trousers sci-fi "mockbusters" made by prolific schlock peddlers The Asylum than Gareth Edwards' similar but superior MONSTERS (2010), Dominic Burns' film makes all the wrong moves.

    The problems are clear right from the start. A string of scenes that fail to engage and just go on for ages. The opening credits run over a long sequence in a nightclub which is interminable. Scene after scene is overlong (including a gratuitous sex scene) and too often the film is stylistically indulgent. The camera swings and sways and pans round and round but it doesn't make the scenes anymore interesting. There are also irritating insert shots that attempt to foreshadow the terrible things to come.

    As tedious as it is ambitious, U.F.O. is as unimaginative as its title. Extremely derivative (there's a sense of déjà vu about each scene – right up to the closing moments), it takes forever to get going but then can't quite decide on a direction.

    This is one of those films about a bunch of ordinary people who find themselves amid extraordinary circumstances. In this case the chaos of an alien invasion. But even after a huge spaceships appears, a lot of the film just involves spending time with an unappealing ensemble of characters talking about the situation and other things and not actually doing anything interesting. The focus is often on the crumbling of society rather than the aggressive actions of aliens but it's not involving.

    When the characters do take some action and the director throws some physical conflict into the mix it all gets confusing rather than exciting. Martial artist Joey Ansah appears in a small role and fans won't be surprised that he gets to have a pretty cool fight scene, but when it happens it seems like things have shifted gears too quickly. The context for the fight is not well established so it's hard to care about what's happening. It's more confusing than exciting.

    Sean Brosnan is the film's lead and fares pretty well as he's essentially still unknown. Sean Pertwee on the other hand has a number of good roles in high profile films behind him, so to see him essentially reprising his crazy act from the doomed TALOS THE MUMMY (Russell Mulcahy, 1998) in a couple of short scenes in a film this poor is somewhat depressing. Perhaps more so than when we see what Van Damme is asked to contribute.

    This film's major selling point is that extended cameo from Van Damme. Something spoiled not only by the post and credits, but by a quick, out of context shot of the star moments into the film. Other shots follow periodically until his character actually joins the others late in the film.

    Van Damme's appearance in this film is very curious, but alongside numerous direct-to-DVD movies the star has made supporting appearances in a number of films in various countries. He's been in Turkish, French and recently Russian films (none of which have been released in the UK yet). His glamorous daughter has her first big role as the nominal lead actress and I guess she or the producers convinced him it would be a fun opportunity for the two to work together.

    Bianca Bree is usually only seen in very minor roles in her father's films (along with her brother who usually gets more screen time) but here the roles are reversed. This is indeed a novel facet to U.F.O. that fans will enjoy, especially in the final act when Bree finally gets something to do and we get to see Van Damme for more than a fraction of a second, but that in itself is not enough to make the film fun and to be recommended. Fans who endured DRAGON EYES (John Hyams, 2012) may want to avoid this as it's not much better.

    The final issue I had with the film is that it didn't quite know how to end. There are several twists, each taken from other films, and one final turn of the screw and then it's all over. Which is a relief.

    The first half hour is a turgid introduction to a bunch of people who will try to survive the British Independence Day. Unfortunately after this first half hour you will be so bored out of your skull you won't really care who dies or how.

    About half way through the lights have gone out and Sean Pertwee appears as a crazy tramp type person who babbles some unfathomable pseudo religious drivel to the hero of the film and turns out to be the smartest person in the whole sorry mess.

    Suddenly a really bad model of something rejected by Star Wars appears in the sky over some Yorkshire town and everybody goes mental. The British Army turn up in the form of two blokes with a bazooka and seemingly wearing trainers. Then we end up at JCVD's house and find out aliens are amongst us then we have a bit of kick boxing and then I think the aliens win.

    With a script so threadbare it is almost invisible, acting talent that would not trouble an amoeba and special effects even Blue Peter would blush at this codswallop retails at 10 pound in my local shop.

    It's about time there was a law against this tripe even being made let alone allowed to be placed on a shelf in a shop. Be very wary of the positive reviews here. Be warned this film is not even good enough to be described as 'rubbish' it is some kind of sub genre even worse.

    It is a mystery how casting managed to recruit some excellent actors to perform in this steaming heap...

    Of the entire garbage we see about 5 - 10 minutes of JCVD so that is pretty much a cameo and not a starring role, the same with Sean Pertwee so how did they get talked into performing in this pointless tripe? It seems at times that only 20 minutes of film was produced as the same clips are shown at least twice and the editor just chopped out random pieces and copy pasted them randomly through the film..

    If the continual moving camera was meant to add an edginess to this garbage I have to say it failed abysmally and in fact at times looked more like the cameraman was so blind drunk that someone had to continually keep pushing him upright as in his drunken stupor you can see he is continually falling sideways...

    To The Idiot that wrote this steaming pile I would like to point out that whatever EMP can knock out the National Grid will also knock out vehicles and mobile phones so when we see people driving around in cars / vans / military vehicles your whole premise of an alien EMP knocking out electrics makes no sense and for crying out loud don't show someone watching video footage taken on a mobile phone because they too would be fried...

    To the movie industry, is it any wonder that file sharing is alive and well when you expect people to part with their hard earned cash for garbage like this? As for the ending.....POINTLESS

    Where do we begin? This British version of Manchester United Meets War of the Worlds (the original, not the remake)is a complete disaster from the first reel. At first, I thought this was a film project done by a first-year film student, but I soon realized it was much worse than anything a film student has done. The director of this waste of 100 minutes of film, Dominic Burns, has no sense of direction. The actors have no idea how to act, the cinematographer looks like it was his first attempt at filming the prom, Claude Van Dam makes Arnold Schwartzeneggar look like Laurence Olivier, his daughter is even more dreadful than he is as an aspiring actress (must be the genes), and the music is overbearing. Other than that, the film is a huge success.

    A bunch of nightclub types pose as protagonists in the film, but after interminable meaningless scenes about them, you begin to root for the aliens to kill them. There is gratuitous sex, mindless violence and gibberish for dialogue. There is no plot per se. Please save your time and money for something a bit more enjoyable; like an hour and a half in the dentist's chair without anesthetics. Plan 9 From Outer Space is a blockbuster compared to this joke. I have seen over 12,000 films and this one easily qualifies for one of the bottom TEN.

    Admittedly I wasn't expecting a huge amount, but seeing as the idea was intriguing and had the ingredients for a fun movie if done right I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. While U.F.O is not the worst movie I've ever seen or one of them, it is one of the absolute worst I've seen this year. If you are wondering whether it is as bad as people are saying, in my mind yes it really is that bad. The whole movie looks as though it was made and edited in a rush, like a matter of days, it is dully lit, the editing is haphazard and unsteady to the point you feel nauseous and the effects look as though the makers had exceeded the time constraint and had to bring forward what they'd managed to do regardless of what they looked like. The music is so overbearing to the point I got a bad headache watching and listening to it, for somebody who has epilepsy it wasn't a good feeling. The dialogue is utter gibberish, it tries to come across as more intelligent than it actually is, almost like an attempted Shakespearean-like grandeur, but it is so stilted to the point it was difficult to get your head round what you were hearing, some of it even sounded improvised on the spot. The story is derivative and dull with nothing suspenseful, involving or thrilling, there's a lot of overlong filler that has little to no point or meaning and it tries to be too many things all at once and delivers it all in awkwardly done tone-shifts. The dramatic "poignant" moments were so mawkish that it'll make anyone want to vomit, some of it would be at home in a badly written soap-opera. You don't care for any of the stereotypical and underdeveloped characters, I usually try to restrain having violent thoughts against movie characters but I admit that I came THIS close to wanting to strangle Carrie. The acting is terrible too, Sean Brosnan lacks charisma and struggles with a character that has been done to death(much better too) and is often senseless, Bianca Bree is supremely irritating and Jean Claude Van Damme is pretty much wasted. Overall, in every sense U.F.O was a terrible movie and one that is best avoided. 1/10 Bethany Cox

    Unlike the cast, crew and various other fake-tanned patrons, I actually paid to go and see this premiere, so you can expect a more objective review than the previous.

    I came out of this screening happy, I had a good time which is the main thing.

    The movie is apparently being sold as Independence Day meets Shaun Of The Dead, but it fails in being comical enough throughout to earn that tagline. There simply wasn't enough comedy or parody of alien invasion movies.

    The movie starts off with a cast of binge drinking characters that we don't know well enough to care about. This immediately disconnected me from all of them because they came across as ASBO awarded yobs who drink as much as they can before jumping into a fight, which, as one of the characters indicates at the start, is the norm.

    This thankfully ends and they become more likable later on. However, it's virtually impossible to take Sean Brosnan's role as a ex-Black Ops military man seriously based on the irrational way he behaves at the start, the way in which he speaks to other military men and the ill thought out choices he makes towards the end of the film.

    A film should firmly establish it's tone at the start. You need to set up an expectation for the viewer. Unfortunately, this was not handled well for the first 5/10 minutes of the film. Shaun Of The Dead, for example, explicitly sets the tone in the opening titles.

    The opening titles of this movie were close ups of women's butts and people grinding in a club to dubstep. It felt self indulgent to the maker and not beneficial to the movie as a whole.

    I had to try and not to laugh at parts since we were sitting near the cast and crew, but in hindsight, I feel like I should have been laughing and that I was confused by the tone of the subject matter.

    The script wavers from being funny, serious, dramatic, immature and outright adolescent in parts. Sometimes these wavers are done quite well, but a lot of the time it was a little confusing.

    Sometimes, these tone changes worked. One example of a dramatic tone change would be a horrifically brutal fight scene devoid of humour, in which a man tries to use a submachine gun on a child, which is then underlined by our lead (Sean Brosnan) doing a comical strut at the end to put his coat on. The audience were in fits of laughter at that point and it was a memorable moment. This was done very well, but it was a lone stitch in a larger tapestry.

    There are moments when the film plunges into borderline plagiarism of other movies. I'll give the director/writer the benefit of the doubt that these were homage, they still felt out of place.

    For example, a fight scene in a supermarket suddenly becomes a mimic of the famous fight scene in Old Boy which didn't seem entirely suitable at the time. Another example, which felt a lot more out of place, were two moments where Bianca Bree quotes Blade Runner in a monotone way to the main lead.

    This later turns out to make no sense whatsoever as she turned out to be an alien. So... an alien that wants to wipe out mankind, but that has an appreciation of 20th century Earth cinema. This was very confusing to me, partly because I still had not determined what the tone of this movie should be. If it's meant to be funny, then fair enough, but it's just not that funny either. These weren't funny lines from Blade Runner either, they were from Roy Batty's death scene.

    All those moments... seemed wide of the mark. If you're making a parody of alien invasion movies, what does Blade Runner or Old Boy have to do with it?

    One moment that stands out as being particularly awkward was when an old man (that we'd never seen before) just turned up in the street and started reeling off a *lot* of expository dialogue. It went on for a long time, killed the pace of the movie and was poorly delivered. Astonishingly, parts of this speech were repeated in flashbacks later on! This was hilarious, but it seemed unintentionally so.

    JCVD makes a welcome cameo in this movie towards the end. He needlessly pops up in flashes for the first half of the film. There were many flashbacks during the first half, but I think they were flashes of the later parts of the movie... so flashforwards? I have no idea, but their relevance was very confusing whenever these popped up.

    I'd like to finish with some positive points about this movie. Despite all it's flaws, I felt that the cast and crew put a lot of effort into making a movie that they wanted to make and within the means they had to make it. I never got bored whilst watching the movie, even the old man who reeled off his speech in the middle was mildly amusing.

    I was very happy to see JCVD on screen once more, even if for a short amount of time. This movie also has some phenomenal fight scenes. One particular fight in a pharmacy was absolutely brutal and really had me on the edge of my seat, no small feat to pull off. This was right up there with John Carpenter's fight scene in They Live.

    I also have to tip my hat towards the makers of this film for actually using explosive squibs for when one guy got shot.

    I feel that had the script been way more streamlined towards a parody of alien invasion movies, this would have been a winner.

    Please if you value your time to be entertained DO NOT watch this. Seriously the worst movie ever. I am trying to figure out how they even spent what the budget for the movie was. It is a bunch of scenes of pure nonsense, don't be fooled by title as I am not sure where science fiction is. Seriously not good!!!! Apparently I have to have ten lines to review this movie, but how much can you write about something that is this bad? If I was the director I would petition to have my name taken from this used toilet paper of a movie, in fact if this movie was toilet paper it was used many times! What is worse I still have one more line to write about this feces of a movie!

    If you want Star Wars spectacle, this isn't it. You will be bored. If you want non-stop action with machine guns and Kung Fu Ninja kick boxing scenes twirling and flying in slow motion every five minutes, this isn't it. You will be bored. If you rate your movies by the quality of the special effects, this one will not be very good in your book.

    I enjoyed it. It was a movie about the UFO and aliens coming, but one centering on what is going on in the heads of the typical ditz people who actually experience it. It was a small movie about small people and how their little world completely disintegrated.

    Yes, the special effects were something a good amateur could do at home. So what? They were better than the ones on classic Sci Fi movies of a few decades ago. We have higher and higher expectations for special effects now.

    "It's over 24:36." After a night out at a bar four friends and a recent pick up head home for more fun. When they begin to lose power and phone reception they cope with it and move on, until they notice something unimaginable. A huge UFO is floating in the sky and an invasion has begun. Going into this I had very low expectations. I know what your thinking, an alien movie starring Jean-Claude Van-Damme...how can you not be excited about that. I am not a fan of his but if you are I should tell you he is in it for about 10 minutes. On the other hand this movie was actually better then I was expecting. The quality wasn't as cheesy as I was expecting and to me this was a better version of Skyline...also with a better ending that that one as well. I'm not saying this is amazing and rush out and see it but in terms of the latest B movies that Van-Damme has been in this is one of the better ones. Overall, much better then I expected. If you liked Skyline then check this one out. I give it a B-.

    Slow to get moving, well over Half the movie is spent building up the characters the low budget is indicated by the lack of extras for Law & Order that eventually breaks down, more a busy sale in New year sales than mass panic.

    More like black comedy with a serious edge, biggest waste of £11.00 i spent.

    the Actors are good Sean Brosnan is a spitting image of his farther the rest of the cast support the film but this cannot redeem my opinion of a film that had potential however it was made with a low budget and this shows

    Well well well, where do I begin. Let me start with the terrible acting and that is all I has to say about that. The fight scene on the other hand was just painful how on earth the producers and director sit there at the end of the day and say yeah we've done good here we've made a difference well even hitlar made a difference and that was just a bad idea all round wasn't it, I hope everyone who created or was involved in this film are very proud of your lack of achievement and I'm sure your parents are to. I don't know what else I can say about this, I hated it so much I'm shaking with rage right now. I will be losing a lot of sleep over this for the pure fact I have wasted 97minutes of my life, overall an inconclusive end to the film what actually happened??? Please for the love of god don't make a number 2

    I was one of the lucky ones. I got to watch this bore-fest for free because I had an advance viewing.

    Aside from a very weak story and a very long set up, this was dreadfully tiring to watch because of non-stop swearing which didn't add anything to the movie, but really took away from it.

    There were unneeded sex scenes and prolonged opening bar scenes which once again did nothing to add to the story, but rather took away from it.

    As a British citizen myself, I found this extremely hard to understand because of poor dialogue and bad actors delivering not only boring, bland and uninteresting dialog - but also being very hard to understand because of very thick accents and very poor editing and sound recording.

    The camera work is shaky and sloppy, the story is shaky and sloppy, the actors are shaky and sloppy...in general - the entire movie is just shaky and sloppy.

    I saved the cost of a rental or purchase and still din't benefit from that.

    I made the unfortunate mistake of reading the reviews here before watching the blu-ray I got in the $8 bin. I watched in horror as everything the negative reviewers pointed out was revealed as the ugly truth. The film(?) is so bad it actually deserves a rating of half a star, which sadly doesn't exist on this site's rating system. I understand completely now why the reviewers were beside themselves trying to squeeze out adjectives and metaphors for how bad this piece of cinematic garbage truly is. Spoilers...how can you spoil something that is already rotten? I would rather have spent that $8 on a fast food meal that gave me food poisoning...at least it would have given me some nourishment before my bowel movement. Yes, it is truly THAT bad. I could care less about the $8 I wasted because the worst of it is I will never be able to purge it from my subconscious mind and will have to bear the memory of it till I die.

    I believe the intent of this movie is to show how regular people react to desperate situations between each other. Although the title would indicate otherwise, it really is earthling against earthling in this film as the major source of conflict.

    This movie suffers from unnecessarily drawn out scenes that detract from that goal: the extended bar scene in the beginning, the sex scene in the beginning, any of the fighting scenes. The alien vessels and special effects were hokey. If I had to say one good thing about this movie, it is that most of the major characters died leaving no one for a drawn out ending.

    Okay, I'm not normally one to complain too much about really bad movies. I watch a lot of not so great horror movies however, this movie had almost no coherent plot, really weird and kind of horrible filming, and a horrible sound track. Again, keep in mind I watch A LOT of really horrible horror movies but this was pretty much hitting rock bottom of the entertainment barrel. There were a lot of loose ends and aspects of the already weak plot that were not explained. This movie could have been a lot better just without the confusing flashes of the actors and with different filming and a PLOT LINE.

    Honestly that's my biggest complaint. For a low budget movie they could have spent a bit more on getting a well written screen play and a bit less on the already poorly done special effects and half backed acting.

    I thought this might be a good sci-fi flick, boy was I wrong. I feel sorry for Sean Brosnan. Don't think I'd want my name on this one. The first hour was pretty much a snooze-fest and you see no alien presence whatsoever. The lines were hard to follow with a lot of needless hot tempers and a lot of foul language that didn't add any entertainment value at all. After an alien ship is discovered hanging in the sky, they spend most of the rest of the movie looking (and not very hard) for George. Jean Claude Van Damme, who played George, only shows up for the last few minutes of the movie and his few minutes of fighting might have been the highlight of the film. The only positive mentionable was the plot twist of what the aliens are.Other than that the movie was mostly forgettable.Plain and simple, this movie sucks. Don't waste your money, even for the $1.20 charged at any Red Box.

    OK first let me not the bad acting. The ONLY bad acting was given off by Bianca Bree... And let me say, she is f'ing gorgeous. OMG. BUT her BAD ACTING WAS ON PURPOSE... It is what let me

    Spoiler: Know she was an Alien. When she stood there during the fight scene with the Police Officer beating the soldier I knew it for sure. Again, it was purposeful dry acting on her part. After a while I got used to it because I knew she was an Alien.

    Next, let me go chronologically into the movie and give props and disses on my take of the movie.

    First, the beginning was way over done... That club scene took like 20 minutes so it seemed. Probably 2 or 3 but holly molly it was long.

    Next, the movie goes along with the alien invasion and to be honest it was very youthful and pretty damn good acting. I followed and believed it.

    What was bad in this movie was the plot... not the actors. It was like someone was on a Steve Jobs acid trip and came up with really cool things and either came off the trip or was perhaps tripping too hard because where the plot ending up going was ridiculous. Again, not the actors fault.

    The ending was kinda good, kinda screwy and left questions... Which I guess is a good thing.

    But, there was a part of the ending that just didn't make any damned sense.

    Spoiler: Were there two alien races fight each other? The ending sure the hell made it seemed like that there was something successfully attacking the alien race. And what was weird about that is the girl Bianca Bree was playing seemed like a really good person/alien but just shot the guy she slept with right in the head. Lol, what?, after calling him a cold blooded killing machine. I was like what??? come on.

    Lastly, was it worth seeing. YES for sure. It had cool JCVD fight scenes that he obviously choreographed for the actors and gave a cool twist to a MMA style fighting movie.

    In ernest this is a GREAT B movie that was hampered by a totally weird plot line at times.

    Wow. I am struggling to find the words to describe how terrible this film was. This is so bad it makes for an extremely uncomfortable watch. I cannot believe a few people on here have given it the thumbs up…..I can only assume they are members of the cast/crew or friends and family. I've watched some bad films in my time, but feel genuinely annoyed and hard done by to have lost 1hr 30mins of my life to this pile of shite. A real shame for Sean Pertwee as he is actually a good actor. On the upside, if anyone on here is an aspiring actor......if these guys can get paid for these performances....there is hope for us all.

    There seems to be a lot of negativity about this movie and at first I couldn't understand why. This film was shot about 45 minutes from where I live so I have been aware of it for some time. I was interested to see it and on the whole I very much enjoyed it. I think the problem is its title, it's poster and it's trailer, all of which suggest a very much different movie to what UFO actually is. This is a gritty British movie with ambition far beyond its budget and ultimately where it does fail is that it's ambition out weighs its budgets ability to achieve it. I think under a different title, with different advertising and dare I say it, a different actor to JCVD this film would have had a very different response. I would advise watching it with an open mind and without expecting a Hollywood blockbuster. However hard it's she'll attempts to convince you otherwise, Hollywood this ain't!

    I enjoyed this movie and thought it was fun. I didn't have high expectations so I wasn't disappointed. If 7/10 is a C then this passed for a bizarre bit of fun. I enjoyed Alien Uprising more than Gravity, at least this movie wasn't full of bad physics. This is just a silly story that's meant to be action packed and fun. There are plenty of clues. I don't understand why it's getting such low ratings... Perhaps because the film has a little imagination and requires a bit to appreciate the story. The acting was passable and the story was interesting, the action keeps a good pace. Of course you have to be willing to suspend disbelief but if you're a sci-fi B movie buff I think you'll enjoy it.

    Greetings, I'm not saying this is an award winning movie but I do think it's worth a watch if your looking for a little fun.

    SPOILER: What I didn't like about the movie, was that the movie didn't explain if there were two alien races attacking each other. It really appears this way because when the "response" happens all the crafts look completely alien. Also, at the end of the movie; they show us two large mother ships appearing to look as though they are doing battle with one another. This is probably the most confusing part for me.

    In general though, I liked the movie. If you like UFO stuff especially for entertainment fun; then I would watch this movie. It did entertain me.

    I think some of the reviews out there are rather harsh. It's definitely a three or four star movie... I wonder if those that are giving it one star have ever seen REALLY horrible movies.

    There were, at least, a few likable characters, some humorous scenes, and some good action sequences.

    The script, while not great, was definitely not as hackneyed as many truly awful movies out there.

    This is, in fact, something I might be willing to watch again in the future - not something I say about truly awful one star movies.

    Yes, the plot could have been better, or at least better explained (there seems to be some confusion if there was actually more than one alien race fighting, something the plot of the movie never mentions, even during the "reveal /explanation" scene towards the end) but it's still worth watching if you're a fan of scifi movies. I wouldn't call it an utter waste of 90 minutes of my life, unlike many of the bigger blockbuster movies out there.

    My biggest complaint was the wooden acting from the dark haired girl, (who at first just seemed ditzy) but as we come to find out there's an explanation for that as well.

    Anyway, I don't normally review but after reading many of them I was compelled to chime in.
