Hey Hollywood,

See this movie? Made on a budget, yet it manages to be better than any of your recent blockbusters.

An interesting idea, interesting characters, and good acting.

It's also funny.

Watch it, take notes, and please try to learn something.

Thanks.

Robin Dunne and Amanda Tapping off of that Sanctuary, Billy Boyd from LOTR, Kristin Kruek - Lana Lang from Smallville, and some random Gay guy called George Takeaway or something like that as the bad guy.

Sounds good? Well it's schlock Sci-fi with its tongue firmly in its cheek. Evil rubber ducks, running gags, robot bodysnatchers and alternate timeliness. And it's great fun!

There is no doubt about how stupid this movie is. It all looks like it's made with a very, very limited budget, and the makers clearly don't care at all that it looks like that, in fact it just makes it even better. The whole point of this movie is to have a bit of fun, by making a sci-fi parody, a movie you just can't take too seriously. I'll admit I laughed more than with a "normal" comedy. The monsters, the story, the actors all contributed to it. The cast is only four people, and they all did a good job, especially Billy Boyd that I thought had the funniest character. If you decide to watch this movie just do it with an open mind, get ready for some absurd humor, and just don't expect a high quality science fiction movie. It's a dumb movie but it's fun.

How could it go wrong with two of the hottest ladies in the universe. Light-hearted fun sci-fi. Well worth the watch. The cast worked well together. Don't expect big budget action, it would have totally spoiled this gem.

There is a new genre out there: science fiction as work place comedy. This is one of the better examples. It puts no effort into logic or sciencetific plausibility. Some of the characters are fairly funny. The acting is professional. I usually find these things either too cloying or silly but this one is pretty decent. If you like it, you should love Interplanetary from 2008 not the blockbuster http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1355575/. I can't see giving this much of a rating considering its mediocrity;it doesn't aspire to more and that is just fine.

This is a line to make the review long enough.
