    Above average scifi thriller

    Red Dawn meets War of the Worlds in Australia. Intermittent chick flick moments with tons of futuristic shoot-em-up scenes. Worth a look.

    Fun watch

    I really enjoy watching this movie. It's just an easy, fun watch. It's not realistic (obviously) and it's not the most profound story you'll ever witness but who ever said it was going to be?

    It's an action, scifi set in Australia (for once) and has a great local cast which is one of the main things I love about it. It really is a first of it's kind and if people think bashing it with bad reviews is in any way helpful then I don't know what to think.

    I actually liked it a lot more the second time I watched it so if you weren't fussed the first time, it is worth another watch.

    Don't take it too seriously and don't sweat the small discrepancies. As I said, it's a fun movie to watch if you just let it be.

    And the practical effects are great too!

    Atrocious score, terrible screenplay, bad editing, dragged out scenes for the ridiculous 120 min length

    Atrocious score - seriously unbearable and you could not help but notice it. Had that been better, the film would have shown much better.

    Terrible screenplay - did anyone re-read this? The concept was interesting but there was just too much unnecessary fluff, plot issues, and pointless scenes.

    Bad editing - was it even edited? Had it been/done correctly, they could have cut the many dragged out scenes for the ridiculous 120 min length and made this a bearable 80-90 min film.

    The only redeeming qualities were the fairly decent SFX for a 4M low budget film, the cinematography was good, and the acting not bad for C-B-list actors, although they could have been directed better and would have performed better on a better screenplay. Some of the casting was just wrong - e.g. the 5' skinny blonde female army general(?) that couldn't act smh?

    I really wanted to like this film but I just couldn't bear the above negative points. I actually had to fast forward past the useless scenes.

    What's even worse is the once again 10/10 fake reviews these producers feel can sway the viewers. It's clear they are all fake when you click on the user and see it's their only review. Sad film making. A generous 3/10 from me. Don't waste your time with this one. Can't believe they are in production for a part 2.

    I'm never getting that two hours of my life back!!!!

    Although this was a good attempt at an invasion film, the choppy story line spread with a huge amount if cheese was to much for me. The predictability if it all, meant that I was bored by halfway through this film.

    Its Ok

    I think the movie tried to satisfy everyone, lots of drama stuff, lots of fight/ military stuff, lots of alien interaction, lots of alien empathy stuff, and in the end kind of failed to satisfy any of those lines. For me I would of liked more explanation of the grand strategy of the war. I did not really get the all important key target virus thing, I sort of got it, but more time spent in the military aspect would of done it for me. Less time with all the drama stuff. The baby thing was a little different in how it ends up.

    A low budget battle for LA type of movie with all the soap opera drama U get with the typical modern sci fi TV series. If U wish this would be better, then definitely watch --Red Dawn (1984)--

    I did not mind watching it, I like sci fi action movies. But like I said, in the end its kind of flat. nice song for the end credits

      Amelia Chambers: [narrating] It's been 2 years since their mothership arrived out of nowhere, sending thousands of unmanned drones to wreck havoc across every country on the planet. Millions of us died. What came next was the real test. An invasion force, hellbent on destroying what was left of humanity.
