    So bad it's good

    Thoroughly enjoyable. Relax and don't take it too seriously. Funny stuff. Fun to watch. Sorry, your review is too short. It needs to contain at least 150 characters.

    A teenage boy's fantasy

    The plot of the film seems like the late-night fantasies of a teenage boy. It is a fairly generic by-the-books sci-fi action film, navigated by a hero who never fails in any task. Elements of the production (particularly the special effects and costume design) are rather charming in how cheaply they appear to have been done.

    Fans of no budget, creative film making will enjoy.

    This no-budget genre rollercoaster starts out as a futuristic heist movie, then turns into a space opera, then becomes an isolated man survival story and finally resolves into a post apocalyptic road movie. And there's stop motion aliens.

    Wow.

    The first half was a tough watch.. it feels like a student film that they are taking way too seriously and yet simultaneously don't realize it's not as funny as they think it is. Only the Hero character seems to have ANY acting experience.

    In the second half they seem to finally find the tone of their 'so bad it's good' movie and we get incredible dialogue such as: 'prison... it's not the character building experience they advertise' and my favorite: 'Oscar Wilde... for a fag he had some good ideas.'

    Along the way we meet a Zach Galafianakis style stoner woodsman and a Tom Savini biker lookalike.

    Recommended for only fans of creative film making with NO budget, ala Miami Connection or Dark Star.

    Wildly low-budget Star Wars/Mad Max hybrid is endearingly dumb

    Super low-budget sci-fi film looks as cheap at the original "Evil Dead," but lacks the inventiveness of that film (although comparisons to Sam Raimi for inventiveness is probably not all that fair). A starship pilot returns to earth to find it under alien control. Don't expect any futuristic cities or big sets. This is a bunch of dudes in the forest fighting aliens in bad make-up. I did enjoy the spaceship special effects for the space sequences, the but earthbound scenes are pretty weak. Still, as badly written, directed (by Brett Piper), and acted by it's cast of no-name actors, the film has a charm to it and it does have an exuberant fun feel of a bunch of friends who got together to make a goofy movie. Taken on that level, you might enjoy this piece of bad cinema, but don't go into this film expecting anything actually good (not even at "Hell Comes to Frogtown" levels of competent filmmaking).

    • Trivia
      Brett Piper said in a 2011 interview that making this film was a nightmare. They ran into trouble which caused them to go over schedule, and then all but one of the actors started demanding that their pay be doubled for every additional day and that they receive their money in cash each day before they'd shoot. Piper said that meant he spent half the day running around trying to get the money which drove them further behind schedule, which cost even more money. In the end the cast was disappointed with how the film came out, saying it looked cheap and rushed. Piper said, "Gee, I wonder why?" He added that if that happened today, he'd fire everyone and rewrite the script, but he was too inexperienced at the time.
    • Goofs
      In about 50 minutes of the movie when main character is fighting the huge alien creature nude, he is clearly wearing jeans when lying down on the ground and naked again in the next shot.
