Invasion Earth

Some movies, especially some cheesy sci-fi or horror flicks are "so bad they're good", this isn't one of those movies.

I'm not one of those people that gives just 1 star or 10. This movie gets a one from me and it deserves it. It's just that bad from beginning to end.

The writing is horrible.

The acting is terrible.

The plot is ridiculous.

Effects are a joke even for a low budget flick.

The characters are completely generic.

The pacing sucks.

The camera work sucks.

The costume sucks.

There is no story structure.

The audio is badly done.

It's hard to write a review of this film without giving spoilers, and the only reason I'm bothering posting this is in the hope that I spare someone else from wasting their time watching this awful train wreck of a movie.

The title and poster are completely misleading. And whoever they quoted on the poster as saying "Indie Sci-Fi At It's Best" must have been either paid or on some serious mind altering drugs.

Acting is not good but Jon-Paul Gates and Charlotte Gould whose over-the-top performance is just about entertaining. It's all far too rehearsed. The characters act like they have self awareness but in reality they really wouldn't have any understanding of why they do what they do. Pacing is actually tolerable, so much stupid stuff happens it's actually more entertaining than most low budget garbage. The visual effects wouldn't look bad twenty years ago... Now they don't look good. Overall I didn't hate it but I would also say not to waste your time, watch Evil Aliens (2005) or maybe Attack the Block (2011). It feels like an interesting exploration into the nature of addiction set to the backdrop of a cheesy alien invasion. The aliens looked terrible, leather outfit with a bad mask.

I couldn't watch this movie. It was like whoever made it, didn't want me to watch it. I'm not sure why someone made this. Maybe it was part of a tax shelter. Maybe it is money-laundering. Remember the plot for The Producers? They were trying to make a Broadway play, which would fail, so they could keep the investment money. Maybe that was the plan of whoever made this movie. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which has many indie films, foreign films, older major studio films, and now, live TV.

I love bad sci fi movies. Revel in the worst of the horror films. this one, however was so boring I had to give my first one star review. We follow the addicts while waiting for the alien invasion to mix things up. We wait ... and we wait ... and we wait..... ad nauseum. Give this one a pass.

What tf was that? It's supposed to be an alien flick, and instead, it's a therapy session for a bunch of pathetic losers. In the last 20 minutes there's a guy in a bdsm suit and mask with the zipper clearly visible.

This was literally just an agenda driven movie to make you sympathize with all the "oppressed people", and a white racist guy. Shocking...What tf was that?
