One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I have been reading nothing but bad reviews on this movie, and yes I have watched it. Although it is a horrible movie and an insult to film production, it is a great movie in it's same right. All of these people who tear this movie apart missed the beauty of the whole concept, hilarity. The movie is more of a joke than anything and as much as I wish I had been able to take those 2 hours of my life back, I LOVE this movie now. It is a movie that takes time to grow on you. Also, if you don't like B Rated movies and like the blockbuster Hits, then stop renting them :P lol. This movie and Ginger Dead man are both in my collection of the best/worst movies of all time. personally I recommend watching this movie at least once because I am sure that you will come to see that it is not a complete waste of your time, because there is always a silver lining. Just always keep in mind that it is a B RATED MOVIE AT BEST :P Man I love em!

"Look, we have guns and costumes and special effects and a bunch of people to work on our movie and to be in our movie. We can't miss!!".. Well, you did. I rented this movie at CinemaNow.com with high hopes. I really wanted to like it but I thought is was so bad that I couldn't even watch the whole thing. It could not have been more boring if they tried to make it so. The directing and acting is uninspired. The pacing was so bad that I thought there was something wrong with my computer. I thought that maybe it kept playing the same scene over and over and over and over. I managed to sit through almost 30 minutes of this sci-fi action film before I decided that there was nothing at that point that could save the rest of it. The movie reminded me of an episode of the Simpsons that showed Krusty the Clown doing a bit on his television show. In the bit, he walks out with a pair of huge rubber ears on. He looks to the audience while motioning to the ears as though having them meant instant humor. He does the same thing when he pulls out a huge Q-tip to clean his huge ears. He doesn't understand why nobody thinks this is funny. Same with this movie. They have costumes and guns and explosions and many of the things that a good action film should have but they seem to think that it was enough. They forgot about an interesting story or good editing, dialog, lighting, and all the other things that make you want to watch a movie. Having a bag of tricks isn't enough. Especially when people are use to watching big budget films that have a much larger bag of tricks along with good stories, editing, lighting and the rest. Nice try but next time try to make a good movie rather than one that feeds your fantasy of wanting to be a big time film maker.

I have to agree with the previous poster. I love sci-fantasy stuff and the plot from the back of the box sounded intriguing enough to check out. Of course, I also tend to look for the "parental advisory" on these sorts of flicks b/c I like my T&A but, other than the opening scene, which was apparently thrown in just to be able to claim "nudity" on the ratings box, there wasn't much here. I watched for 30 minutes before just fast forwarding to at least see if there was any more nude scenes. Alas, they couldn't even get that right. The makeup is horrible and the acting is worse if that's possible. Even the casting was horrible. the pilot is some bimbo who is completely unbelievable as a military officer. At least we get a passing glance at her chest in a bra but that's still not nearly enough to warrant watching this trash.

This movie is so incredibly easy to pick apart. My first laugh was when Sharp spoke for the first time, its completely ridiculous. And the green-screen effects, if they're gonna be that bad, why use them. I would have rather seen a $10 cardboard backdrop. Green-screen is not that hard, whats the problem?!?!? I've watched so many bad movies, but they've always had some redeeming quality, this movie has nothing. I wouldn't even count the gory head shots, modern video games have better special effects. This movie goes down as the ONLY movie I have ever seen that I would never watch again. I'm still stunned that a movie like this exists.
