Terrible acting, even worse dialog, but the worst is the special effects. They're special all right. Remember "Hardware Wars" special effects? They're stellar compared to the effects in this movie.

I wrote this while watching the film. The dialogue seemed a little too natural with blandness and obvious errors that people have when speaking without thinking. Some of the technical jargon could have used a little more work on consistency. The hand held camera work is reasonably good without the extreme shakiness that made Bourne Ultimatum so nauseating to watch. Action sequences weren't too bad but could have been more fluid. The short pauses during action scenes would have benefited by replacing them with slow motion. This movie started with a good story line and ended abruptly without completing the story. I don't know what the budget for this was, but it must have been very low. If your prospective is of a group of inexperienced students first attempt at making a movie, then it was a decent attempt. I don't expect this movie to leave the 1 to 5 dollar discount video bin at your local department store.

I would say it's about as good as "The Room" but it's not as funny.

Let my start right off by saying that at the time I am writing this review this movie has a 6.5 IMDB score. For most movie lovers and IMDB followers you know that this should mean that this movie should at least be watchable. When I began to watch the trailer i got nauseous! The scenes looked poorly put together the actors lacked the magic for a good movie and while the plot was ok the end result is beyond subpar - and that was easily attained from just the trailer. If you have any doubt feel free to watch the movie and when you're done write your honest review. I'll be very interested to read it.

Very very slow and little of real interest, although the story should have been interesting
