Invaders

This is my very first review, simply because this movie is bad and on IMDb it is seen as okay with an 6.6 average. The movie is simply not worth that 6.6 if you go deeper into the demographics you can also see huge spikes around the high grades.. It is not fair, do we really need to rely on metacritics because people abuse a system?

If you look at their reviews by the way.. All proud to rival hollywood in terms of sci fi because of the budget, does that mean the whole movie diserves a 8/10? Is the COMPLETE package there?! Or are they just making a "statement" while people expect an enjoyable film they see this crap? It is not fair to be honest.

This had so much potential, big name actors (for Australia), clearly a significant budget but wow what a disaster it was. Bad direction, bad acting, poor continuity. Was really hoping this would be quality as a proud Australian but this movie has set the local industry back years. Such a shame

Can't understand all the bad reviews. Although it's a bit corny and illogical at times, I enjoyed every minute of it. It is just a movie after all, and movies are meant to entertain, which it did. I think some people expect too much in a movie.

Although this was a good attempt at an invasion film, the choppy story line spread with a huge amount if cheese was to much for me. The predictability if it all, meant that I was bored by halfway through this film.

Not a good film.

Poor camera work and editing, too many light flares, too many swing shots and enough trolley work to make you travel sick.

Script is dry, delivery ranges between p*ss poor to not too bad and story extremely predictable, occasionally it does come together with the odd pithy comment, well delivered and well timed so not all is bad.

Special effects are on par with a home movie, action sequences too 'acted' although the humanoid aliens outfits look good.

On the plus side, all the actors are giving it 100%, even at the cheesiest of moments. And there is a lot of cheese.

What I did like was the locale, scenery is great, and whomever the extras are (I assume local folks?) come across as having a really good time.

While not the best of movies, it's a slow but solid start to the producer, writer and director. I'd be interested in seeing their next science fiction film.
