Occupation

Red Dawn meets War of the Worlds in Australia. Intermittent chick flick moments with tons of futuristic shoot-em-up scenes. Worth a look.

Occupation tells a story that is cut together across almost a years worth of action and tells the tale from the first invasion to the first major success of the war.

I enjoyed it, and a big thumbs up to the Australian film industry. The acting and direction is great.

The script covers many months of activity and reveals the personality of characters at quite a pace. The backstories are raced through so you only get a small background about them which needs to carry the characters personlaity behaviour that drives their actions through the movie and you don't quite get to feel immersed into the conflicts of characters as much as could have been the case.

I think this story line alone could have been turned into a successful TV series of at least 4 or more seasons. This would allow each character's backstory to grow and allow the audience to be captured by the potential depth of light and dark sides of each character. There is plenty of story line in between everything you see in the movie. As a TV series, I would have certainly watched it.

Good movie, that could be a great TV series.

Although not boring, it is a piece of majestic crap. The most infantile screenplay ever... embarrassing at times.

Can't understand the IMDB high rating.

Aliens please take me, the humankind is not an intelligent race.

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.

I think the movie tried to satisfy everyone, lots of drama stuff, lots of fight/ military stuff, lots of alien interaction, lots of alien empathy stuff, and in the end kind of failed to satisfy any of those lines. For me I would of liked more explanation of the grand strategy of the war. I did not really get the all important key target virus thing, I sort of got it, but more time spent in the military aspect would of done it for me. Less time with all the drama stuff. The baby thing was a little different in how it ends up.

A low budget battle for LA type of movie with all the soap opera drama U get with the typical modern sci fi TV series. If U wish this would be better, then definitely watch --Red Dawn (1984)--

I did not mind watching it, I like sci fi action movies. But like I said, in the end its kind of flat. nice song for the end credits
