Featured reviews
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!
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.
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.
