I liked the story and most of the effects are cool, in my opinion. All in all not half bad. I'm bias because I love different ideas and I love sci-fi.... Having said that, I can see why some people would call this crap and I do agree with the point made about it could've been so much more....
Still I do think it's good and I really liked what happens in the story, so I think both these downsides just comes under the 'small budget' umbrella....
Good work!!! I hope there is a second one that is gifted a 'higher power budget' to expand and exploit the character(s) more and move the story even further forward. :D

Watched this on Amazon Prime. A low budget Sci-fi movie with an original premise, that not only surprised me, but kept me interested throughout. Considering the budget, the effects were very good, the acting was fine, but the plot was brilliant. I wouldn't be surprised to see this being remade by a Hollywood studio. Well done.
Almost all of the acting is terrible and 90% of the dialog is horrible. You never develop any interest in what happens to any of the characters. The main character just does not seem right for the role. The reason I am able to give this movie four stars is because of the special effects. This movie is low budget, but some of the special effects are pretty amazing for it's budget. The end of the movie is kinda strange, but I can say it was almost good for about 5-10 minutes. The rest of the movie is pretty bad. Though, it is hard to get passed the first like hour and 15 minutes to get to the interesting part because most of the movie is just boring and one of the main character's daughters is irritating. Not the worst movie I have ever seen, but FAR from the best. Easily forgotten aside from that 5-10 minutes.
Admittedly the build up during the 1st hour was hard to sit through.
Yes the other reviews are right.
We need to appreciate the incredible effort it is to create such a wonderfully original? Idea.
Great job guys- maybe just may be you will touch the right people in just the right way too which they begin to understand their OWN potential.
See it for yourself, make up your own mind.

I got into this last night without knowing anything about this movie, not seeing reviews, trailers, honestly never heard of this movie before last night and I was a bit skeptical...slow opening then about a qtr of the way through it hooked me..the ending was very unique, a hidden message was in the final scenes if you looked hard enough....don't skip this one.
