    D.B. Sweeney: Terrible Casting Choice

    D.B. Sweeney is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Put him in scenes that involve a brawl or (multiple) interactions with Danica McKellar, and it looks and feels awkward. Otherwise, the story is cookie cutter stupidity, and the creatures are only marginally better than those in rubber suits.

    Bad movie and horrible special effects

    Lack of a good script in addition, of the terrible special effects, the bad actors, I do not recommend it at all to see, it is a waste of time

    Lots of bad production work

    Shaky camera work - just continues to randomly move for no reason - even while doing shots that require a steady hand.

    Choppy editing. If you like your stuff chopped up, with lots of random moves that were not in the previous shot, misplaced people, and horrible fight scenes, then this is for you! Come on and watch...spot the mistakes - maybe even win a prize! Nasty fight scenes. Do you enjoy nasty fight scenes where people don't even connect when throwing a punch or when blocking a punch? Take a peek...it happens several times.

    Look for the amazing swift moves such as - kicking and spins that do not hit their target and the ever fun - flipping somebody over with a single outreached hand...

    CGI - yes, that stands for computer generated information - which basically stands for = making phony things look funny...like aliens that look like cartoon characters.

    Good dialog and acting...if you think you can spot it - YOU WIN!

    Ouch!

    For DB Sweeney, it must have been quite a comedown from FIRE IN THE SKY to this. Sweeney, who once showed promise as a light leading man, here portrays a cardboard military guy hot on the trail of an killer E.T. in Hawaii. Sweeney and his crew race around in various Jeeps and small SUVs, while the badly animated creature hops here and there, doing in one person after another. Sweeney ends up crossing paths with a model (McKellar) who teaming up with him in pursuit of the monster. She's the eye candy, folks. By the way, the alien in this could just as easily have been a raptor, for all it's worth. Ah well, I'm sure cast and crew had a good time shooting in Hawaii.

    Terrible, except for one thing.....

    ...or person, that is. I watched only to see the beautiful Danica McKellar. Grown up now and looking fine in swimwear, but even that can't rescue a poorly produced film. The special effects are so fake looking I suspect first year film students can do better. I didn't expect much more, a made-for-SyFy Channel movie gave me what I imagined. Danica is worth far more than this, and I hope she eventually gets roles that showcase her talent, not just her looks. Heck, cast her as a math wizard model in some hybrid story...she is a true math wizard, and I just hope she doesn't need crap like this to balance her checkbook. I'd have given it one star, but the added star is for Danica :)

      At the end during the final countdown in the fight scene between O'Bannon and the possessed guy, the same filmed sequence is used three times, while the timer is between 3:30 and 3:00 remaining. First, opponent leads with a right that misses, then a left, then knocks down O'Bannon with elbow to jaw. They then fall down, wrestle a bit, and O'Bannon gets on top. This is re-used ten seconds later. Then again a third time, only shot from a different camera.
