Stylish but barely mediocre overall
... View MoreNice effects though.
... View MoreLet's be realistic.
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
... View MoreProbably a record for convoluted plot. They were still explaining the setup 2/3 of the way through the movie. Nothing made any sense. Perhaps they took a 7 book anthology and collapsed into a single movie. Cheesy special effects. Worth watching only if you've exhausted all movies with a higher rating.

... View MoreOn a distant planet a group of white people and clones, all with various Earth accents live on a planet 70 years after a nuclear war. The clones have a mark above and below the left eye that looks like printing on a piece of tape or band-aid. There isn't much of a starship that actually flies in space other than the quick CG opening scene. They travel around in a tank that is about ten times larger inside than outside, a loaner from Dr. Who no doubt. There are women who where red mop heads as wigs. There are mutants and a really large mutant they must kill, most likely because "Resident Evil" had one for no good reason either, although this one is Godzilla size.The film was not well organized. The little girl who gave the introduction was a lousy speaker. This was another DVD I had to crank up the volume like a boot-leg. Subtitles would have been nice with a better set-up of characters.Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.

View More"Obscene language is the refuge of those lacking the ability to say anything more intelligent."While I am never fond of movies that resort to repeated foul language, I don't really make an issue of this in most of my reviews. That's what the Parental Advisory is for. Reviews are for reviewing the movie itself.In this case I make an exception. Repeated F-bombing is so excessive and gratuitous it actually distracts from the plot to the point of making the film painful to watch. Which is why I stopped watching it about 7 minutes in and hit the 1-star rating... which I try to reserve for "worse than SyFy channel" movies. The equally bad scripting makes any toleration of this flick nigh impossible. Tiny spoiler illustration: Within the first 3 minutes a woman intentionally and for no discernible reason leaves a perfectly good shelter to get stomped on by a giant monster. Dialog: "What's that sound?" "I don't know. Something big." -- Woman slowly backs out of shelter where she was totally safe, looks up, screams and is stomped.Seriously?I figured the plot line can only get worse from that point on. It did. I stopped it several minutes later, unable to stomach any further terrible writing. Asylum could take notes in "bad" from these script writers.
