Occupation

Should have check out the reviews here before getting this con job. It's something a Kid made in grade school

I had high hopes that this movie might be a diverting sci-fi action film, but I was very disappointed. It was really quite painful to watch. Especially in the first third of the movie, the unexplained jumping back and forth in the timeline was bewildering. The acting was wooden, and the dialog clumsy. Speeches from the panel of 3 officers, summarizing the action, were totally improbable. In other parts dialog which may have been interesting was lost due to music, sound effects, or plain mumbling. The special effects were mildly interesting, but the spray of bouncy black cgi dots when alien shots hit humans was distracting. The humanoid alien robots seemed to have learned how to walk from R2D2. Did someone really spend $AU 50,000 on this?

Poor effects - which is ok for such a low budget. Poor sets and costumes - for which a poor budget is no excuse. Poor acting. Poor American accents, I mean I think i could do a better Australian accent than these Australians do American accents.

Things didn't exactly make a lot of sense either: Why fly an airliner at the aliens? Did anyone making, acting in or characters in the movie ever see anything military-related? The odds are against it. And what "battalion"?

I gave it an extra star for effort to tell an original story and for not preaching to me. Otherwise not good at all.

Nothing! Zero! No redeeming qualities! Quality equal to a high school whim video project. Graphics are about forty years behind.

This is worse than anything 'The Asylum' crap movie producers have ever done.

After hearing pretty much mostly negative things about this flick, I wanted to watch it to see if it was that bad. Sure enough, it was. First off, let's start off with the quality. The quality of the movie looks like it was shot on an iPhone, and looks like a high school student movie. Second off, the CGI looks like a PS2 game of some sorts. Third off, the acting is porn quality. And the last thing, did they REALLY need to back away from the camera in the scene when that guy kisses his wife? I think a 10 year old did this. I also felt the point to shut it off. And I did, because it's THAT bad. Seriously, if you want a good war flick, just watch the classic Full Metal Jacket, or Saving Private Ryan.
