Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

The film opens with 8 minutes of news reports while showing us the credits. It then goes into a lengthy first person narration one that persists throughout the film. It seems the earth was destroyed in 2012 due to aliens that took some people captive as miners. One guy escapes and becomes a scavenger, visiting different planets for artifacts and things of value. That would indeed be a good film if they actually did it, and didn't read it to us. He is now on earth looking for something and uncovers a government secret.The film is awful and most of you won't make it past 10 minutes. The sound is choppy and CG effects bad. I kept waiting for all the narration to end and the film to actually start. But when I saw how bad the acting was, I was now wishing they would simply narrate.The good news is this stinker is worth 2 punches on a hackers card, normally reserved for bad films over 2 hour long.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity, but you just feel violated after you watch it

Only watch this movie if you have absolutely no standards at all. Actually, not even then. Hands down the worst movie ever!!! I seriously don't care how small the budget was. The plot was dumb, the actors were horrible, and what's with the CGI helmet on that "alien thing"?? Normally I would just laug hbut, for some reason this movie just made me angry!.How about changing the set a little huh? shoot the entire movie in an abandoned shopping mall? I seriously can't believe how awful this movie is. The main character??? I don't even have the time to go there. DO NOT WATCH!! I am sorry to be so negative but, I took it as an insult that someone would actually make such a piece of garbage and try to get people to waste their time watching it. Yikes!!!!

Have just watched this move for a second time, forgotten what it was like.I could see what the director was after, but only after I had read the sleeve notes and the directors notes on this page, then it made some sense. But with such a low budget he could not pull it off.Also with no sub titles Had great difficulty following speech , always do hearing shot, however others agree the back ground music (?) is very intrusive.Agree with the person who said that this is a slow move, but he had to fill the time some how, and then they still had to add the opening sequence to take it up to a move length.Overall I feel that if this story had a couple of additional writers to help and a bigger budget it could be a very good movie, the basics are all there.Still only 1/10

Three out of ten possible stars is more than enough for this movie. Taking into account the budget of just $35.000 this movie isn't as bad as could have been. The movie starts off with a man in black suite and the audio of several newscasts made with a commonly used voice-synthesizer. The scenes give a sense of mystery to the viewer (which i really liked), however the artificial voices are ruining that feeling. I simply can't understand why Carolina Liechtenstein resorted to voice-synthesizers for that part. It is a major put off. The sound quality, the decors, the acting is as can be expected with such a low budget. Mediocre at best but worse most of the time. Worst of all, the sequence of events is so sssslllllllooooooooooowwwww! Frankly, a snail dipped in super glue goes around in an Olympic pace compared to the 'action' in this movie. I was forced to use the fast-forward button more than once. During most of the movie i kept on asking myself "What the heck is this movie about?" and at the end i still have to guess what it was about. Perhaps i need to see it twice or three times to comprehend it completely but that prospect doesn't really appeal to me. Still, it's much better than Aliens vs Avatars. The special effects are occasionally reasonably good (the CAD/CAM for instance) considering the budget. Summorizing: It's not a movie i would recommend to anyone, not even SF fans.
