Unidentified

As with all these 'found footage' films, the script and acting is absolutely abysmal. The more they try to 'act' naturally, the more contrived it always looks. It's remarkable also, how, even when the camera is dropped, or lying on the ground, it always just so happens to pick up the vital details. It's really incredible.

This is a pile of mince, best avoided.

I actually loved this film. It doesn't wear out it's welcome. These guys obviously had a low budget but some scenes made it look like they had seven figures. I don't even like found footage films but I genuinely enjoyed this film from beginning to end. I find that most found footage flicks fall short when it comes to having natural dialogue and reactions to what is going on but this is definitely doesn't have that problem. When you watch you feel like you're watching real people with a genuine relationship with one another rather than four people acting with forced dialogue. Is it close and counters? No, but Its a hell of a lot better than most indie films coming out these days, especially found footage. Its just a fun ride with something for everyone. There are a lot of laughs, a gross out scene or two, some genuine scares, and AWESOME special fx. The film makers obviously worked hard and did a very good job on a shoestring budget. Its something I'm going to share with my friends and it was DEFINITELY worth my time. It reminds me of a Detroit Rock City type of flick. I don't think that movie is for everybody but the people who LOVE it LOVE it and show their friends. I went from renting this one, to owning it immediately afterward. Worth a watch if you're a movie nerd who likes aliens or group adventure films.

I can't wait for this fad of using camcorders to make films .. I find it nauseating and irritating .. the film was OK, a bit rambling for the first third .. then the plot picked up but because of the wobbly camera you didn't get to see much. Roll on when proper film camera's come back into fashion

This movie, an obvious indie film, had great potential. The premise is actually good. Being stuck out in the middle of the desert some miles out from Las Vegas, with possible aliens stalking you, is an interesting starting point. The problem is that it wasn't used as a starting point.

For whatever reason, the writer of this movie filled the first three-forths of the script with some of the most boring and irritating dialog I've ever witnessed. The actors did their best, the direction didn't stray towards horrible. It's just the writing was notorious. After about 50 or so minutes, the movie actually gets fairly good. It's never great, although the final scene (flying through the air) was actually very well done. It almost seems as if this was meant to be a short film, and someone got a greenlight to make it feature length, but they had no idea how to do that, so they just told the actors to ad-lib and do their best. My suggestion, literally, is to fast- forward to about the 45 minute mark and go from there.

It isn't till 50 minutes into the movie that they get "stranded in the desert".
