Invasão ao Planeta Terra

Thomas Dunn's day cant be any worse than mine after watching this film .....17 years in the making ,and i felt ever one of them... before anyone starts ...yes i know it was made on a low budget and yes an independent film but you have to give the viewer something to work with.... its not what i would call a nights entertainment watching something that you are fighting with yourself not to switch off and you keep thinking well it may get better as it goes along but it don't ,....when it could be me ? Looking at some of the other reviews on here 10 s and 9s ect.

I'm a huge movie buff and believe me I watch a lot from the 30s to 2021. I'm a patient person and I can enjoy many a good B movie. I give things a chance. I can usually watch and get through bad films. But this is beyond bad. It was all over the place. It didn't flow. The story line was bad, plots were weak, The whole thing was a mess. I couldn't even watch it for the effects. It was painful, like pulling teeth. I got 3/4 way through. Don't waste precious time with this rubbish.

The story of getting the film made is very inspiring, but not relevant to whether the film is any good or not. And sadly, it isn't. It's woeful in almost every regard.

The overall story is an interesting idea, but everything from the terrible script, the uniformly awful supporting cast, the stagey direction/editing and the mostly cheap VFX make you wonder why they even bothered.

If given the right resources maybe the director could come up with something impressive, but this is not a good calling card.

I have a thing for disaster movies or be it alien/space movies. Honestly I do not have any expectations from this one. You know something on the lines of all those Asylum movies would suffice for me. But this is just beyond worst.

I rarely ever ever give up on a movie midway no matter how crap it is but for this one at around 45min mark, I just lost my patience.

The trivia says that it took many years for the team to bring it out. While its a commendable fact that they did not give up on their dream project or whatev, am sorry to say the final output is not digestible at any level.

The story does leave (quite) a bit to be desired and the editing could have been a lot better which started me skipping through the film after about 35 minutes. I tried to pretend I was watching a 70's sci-fi but that didn't help. I understand that some people worked hard to get this movie made and I understand the difficulties they had to overcome and I like the concept of the story but the end result is just not watchable nor believable. Maybe rewrite the script into a book (after some necessary changes to the story)?
