Occupation

Atrocious score - seriously unbearable and you could not help but notice it. Had that been better, the film would have shown much better.

Terrible screenplay - did anyone re-read this? The concept was interesting but there was just too much unnecessary fluff, plot issues, and pointless scenes.

Bad editing - was it even edited? Had it been/done correctly, they could have cut the many dragged out scenes for the ridiculous 120 min length and made this a bearable 80-90 min film.

The only redeeming qualities were the fairly decent SFX for a 4M low budget film, the cinematography was good, and the acting not bad for C-B-list actors, although they could have been directed better and would have performed better on a better screenplay. Some of the casting was just wrong - e.g. the 5' skinny blonde female army general(?) that couldn't act smh?

I really wanted to like this film but I just couldn't bear the above negative points. I actually had to fast forward past the useless scenes.

What's even worse is the once again 10/10 fake reviews these producers feel can sway the viewers. It's clear they are all fake when you click on the user and see it's their only review. Sad film making. A generous 3/10 from me. Don't waste your time with this one. Can't believe they are in production for a part 2.

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

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

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.

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.
