Invasion Earth

What tf was that? It's supposed to be an alien flick, and instead, it's a therapy session for a bunch of pathetic losers. In the last 20 minutes there's a guy in a bdsm suit and mask with the zipper clearly visible.

This was literally just an agenda driven movie to make you sympathize with all the "oppressed people", and a white racist guy. Shocking...What tf was that?

Some movies, especially some cheesy sci-fi or horror flicks are "so bad they're good", this isn't one of those movies.

I'm not one of those people that gives just 1 star or 10. This movie gets a one from me and it deserves it. It's just that bad from beginning to end.

The writing is horrible.

The acting is terrible.

The plot is ridiculous.

Effects are a joke even for a low budget flick.

The characters are completely generic.

The pacing sucks.

The camera work sucks.

The costume sucks.

There is no story structure.

The audio is badly done.

It's hard to write a review of this film without giving spoilers, and the only reason I'm bothering posting this is in the hope that I spare someone else from wasting their time watching this awful train wreck of a movie.

The title and poster are completely misleading. And whoever they quoted on the poster as saying "Indie Sci-Fi At It's Best" must have been either paid or on some serious mind altering drugs.

I viewed Invasion Earth this year. In 2022. The same year of mass protests in my home country, when millions of people marched in protest of the militarization of the police and said police's killings of unarmed civilians. Do you see now why portraying the mass slaughter of civilians as a good thing comes across as tasteless? I'm certain the movie did not mean to come across this way: the filming apparently wrapped in May of 2019, long before the protests began. But given the context of what's been happening in the world, The Blackout: Invasion Earth has already aged like milk left out in the sun. There are certainly good things about Invasion Earth, but I can't in good conscience recommend it.

Starts out with scene showing alien spaceships will be here in 3 mo.

By the time the movie really shows any significant "invasion", it will seem like 3 mos. in real time have elapsed.

There is nothing extremely objectionable.

But nothing redeeming at all either.

How they got actors to take part in this production is a mystery.

While set with a back-drop of folks with issues, you'll be reaching for your opium pipe in about 1/2 hr. Then you'll, like, be in the movie. Cool.

I couldn't watch this movie. It was like whoever made it, didn't want me to watch it. I'm not sure why someone made this. Maybe it was part of a tax shelter. Maybe it is money-laundering. Remember the plot for The Producers? They were trying to make a Broadway play, which would fail, so they could keep the investment money. Maybe that was the plan of whoever made this movie. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which has many indie films, foreign films, older major studio films, and now, live TV.
