Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Thomas Stanton Here goes. This movie was so bad, it wasn't even so bad that it was good like some movies I know... this one was just long, boring and rotten. Stay away, far away from this one!This movie was so bad, it wasn't even so bad that it was good like some movies I know... this one was just long, boring and rotten.

Paul Celano (chelano) This movie amused me for how bad it was. It was like the writers watched "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and thought that they could do better. They almost kept part of the same story, but added so many weird things that make no sense. They had a random nude scene in the beginning of a girl who was a horrible actress throughout the film. The movie does have C. Thomas Howell in it and the whole time he had this look on his face that made him seem like he was in pain. Just like the movie it was copying off of, this film has a giant robot. It is CG and there is only about three shots of it throughout the movie. They keep showing these three shots in different scenes since they had a crappy budget. The ending had no excitement. It just kind of happened. You sit there and look at the TV and think, "well, I guess that is it". Actually I don't think I had any emotion throughout this film. Well I did laugh a few times at how horrible it was.
scrub22080 Aside from the soundtrack, which was pretty good and the best part, I've seen better acting in a preschool play. Baaaaaaad acting and a worse plot. Judd Nelson got billing and he was in it for like 10 minutes. I just wasted 1 1/2 hours of my life. I'm glad I only payed a dollar to rent this. Actually, my wife was supposed to rent 'The Day the Earth Stood Still,' but got this by accident. Cheesy plot with not enough depth to the reason. It moves slow, and the synopsis says car chases. I've seen better car chases on the highway. I swear they just kept driving around in circles. The chick was hot and little bug has grown up. I would definitely recommend he research a part more next time. I would say the writer/director needs to stick to just writing and not acting, but according to this movie, he doesn't need to be doing either. Check out the soundtrack though, it was pretty good.
RoswellOne If this is a "B Movie," then grade inflation has certainly hit hard since the fifties.This is more like a D- movie, and that only because I'm feeling charitable.How awful is this movie? Let me count but a few of the ways: The acting is atrocious; the music one-note and distracting; and the scenery depressing and repetitive. Pretty much everything in it is unbelievable, from the ridiculous handling of the aliens by unprofessional morons who are each others' worst enemies, to the previously mentioned baby, born clean and dry and three months old in the back of the car.The "science" was non-existent, and the premise far more vague than in other the-earth-is-about-to-end type movies. Did I mention the writing is horrible? About the only good thing in the movie was the megaliths, and they were pointlessly anthropomorphized.My husband brought this home from Red Box, and that's a dollar and an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back. I would have stopped watching, but didn't want to leave him by himself.
