So it finally landed in Netflix and I am 22 years late joining in the review.
The movie is not that bad. I was of course tainted with what I have read about this movie over the years but then I saw one article that the production team did not think that this was a bad project and after watching it, I believe that they did set out to make a genuine SciFi movie.
The costumes and practical effects looked good. They were not done lazily. It was obvious that the team did their best to create a planet overrun by alien beings.
The story had potential and the movie had some good moments and all the actors did what they could with the material.
As a huge Barry Pepper fan, this is obviously a lowlight on his portfolio but his performance here still showed how professional an actor he is. I may be biased because I just adore Barry but he did his best with Jonnie and the kind of direction that was given to him.
It's an okay movie so I guess the hatred it got was really about John Travolta's ego or believing in this movie to much?

3 stars for what seemed like an interesting movie and Forest Whitaker's presence. I invest caring about the evolution of this guy, going the distance to get his girl and then it ends like that.
