Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

mibs-51865 For a made for TV movie, it is surprisingly good. Very good camera work, better-than-usual-for-TV acting. The theme is fine, the story is simple (best kind) and makes good use of a number of sub-threads. Some irritating characters, but then people really are like that. The script itself could have used a couple more coats of lacquer on it, but that's typical for Hollywood. The movie's ending falls apart a little (but only a little), but that's also typical for Hollywood, TV or otherwise.Let's say, "between made for TV" and the title itself, the experience was better than I was prepared for.

crowirishman1979 My theory for this movie is that it is a prelude to War Of The Worlds, the remake with Tom Cruise. The aliens I believe came from another planet a milennia ago. They came upon Mars, probably inhabited, and killed its inhabitants. Then they stripped the planet of its resources. Somehow, they discovered Earth. They are after the Uranium in order for them to start the production of the Tripods, and that those "balloons", as one of the characters called it, is actually a manufacturing ship for those Tripods. After production, they bury them deep in the ground until they are needed to invade Earth. Does anyone else agree with my theory?

bsampsel Where to start...While there were some good actors in this, in addition to some horrible performances, nothing could save this train wreck.The writing was awful. The dialog corny. And the weaponsmaster should have been shot.Let me explain. The setting is Colorado in 1892 if memory serves. The actors are turned loose with modern double-action revolvers. While you might find a model available back then, it would not likely have been in Colorado. Worse, two actors square off, the sound effect for cocking the gun is heard, and neither weapon is cocked.Then, up against powerful badguys, the goodguys don't grab the long guns available in the Sheriff's Office...they ignore them at a time they need more firepower.I could have put up with the cheesy CGI. But the movie just felt so amateurish, par for the course for a SyFy production these days.Even Spike couldn't save this travesty.

accountcrapper Aliens invade a small town in westernville land. That's it for the plot. There is a lame attempt at a love interest sub plot but it never takes off and just seems like wasted lines.This movie felt like I was watching grown men playing 'lets pretend' out in the back garden. It just had nothing to it that you could believe in. There was no single point throughout the entire film where there was an emotional connection with the audience. The acting was for the most part ridiculous not just hammy and poor but ridiculous. The female bounty hunter was just... I can't think of a superlative to meet so I'll just say miscast. Shouting out her corny lines in this schoolyard westernville town cheap TV accent.The sound was pretty decent. The lighting I did not like. I think maybe a tint or some basic attempt at contrast was needed but it was all very samey and bland. The CGI was just passable not good but it was better than cardboard (although not a funny). All in all a film with very little charm or wit to carry off the lower budget. If you want to see a similar theme in a different setting (i.e. not westernville land town) look for Alien Raiders to see how a film of this kind can be made so much better on similar (if not smaller) budgets.
