No idea what was going on for most of the movie. Good floatie scene though
Never mind the sci-fi out of this world aspect.... if you found people in everyday life who reacted the way these characters do, you'd wish you'd been abducted... I mean really? Just let down by poor scripting, poor character development and just general poor plot.
So utterly uninspiring, I can see why it wasn't carried by any cinema here in the UK. It's entirely lamentable, that film can now be produced and distributed so cheaply. At least the barrier of cost used to mean the product had to be sufficiently good so as to make sales to cover the costs....

This was a truly terrible film. I was astounded at how they managed to get some of the cast. It started off OK, and then progressively got worse and worse. The acting in some parts was so bad the audience was laughing in the cinema and I just cringed and cringed. The beginning actually opened really nicely but somehow the plot got totally lost, the characters were tied up in stupid nonsense and the 'scary aliens' were apparently English sounding but actually had American accents. The cast had a variety of terrible accents, and I'm not sure why they didn't just keep to their own. Terrible don't bother. I'm not sure what else I can possibly say.
I have just joined IMDb for the sole purpose of preventing anyone else from seeing this shambolic mess of a film. It's plot is holier than Passion of the Christ, and watching it feels much like Jesus himself must have. It introduces an astounding number of premises, and elaborates none of them, instead concluding with an ill-attempted philosophical justification of its own drunken story board. The lead actress is good enough, as is the lead actor. William Davis (x files) is, however, the only real draw. The accents (ostensibly Texan) are strained and variable, the lead female oscillating between Generic Southern and Generic Germanic. The rest of the cast is universally appalling, and manage to sink deeper an already sinking ship. The 'Indian' shaman and Russian investigator are so bad that at times the film appears almost comic - more of the 'laughing at' kind than the 'laughing with'. Nothing makes sense, there is no cohesive storyline, the editing sees overly long and/or completely unnecessary scenes that do nothing to develop the plot interspersed with action of dubious believability. This film has achieved a rare trajectory of starting off with reasonable promise, and descending exponentially into a complete farce.
At times frightening, at times intriguing, at other times comic, and generally very very bad.
