Awful!

Warning: Spoilers
I must agree with the last post about this film. I am a Media Teacher and honestly think some of my students could pass this work off as their film projects it is that bad. I even lost interest in finding the film funny because of how poorly made it was.

Shocking effects (nothing special about them) and painful script and storyline. I've seen some poor films in my time and this is certainly making the top ten list.

I understand that with a limited budget (no where near the $1m estimate I'm sure) sci-fi can be a difficult genre to create however less would've certainly been more here. Leave the audience in suspense a little rather than showing us the aliens straight up. By far one of the most interesting parts was seeing a keyboard typing without any hands present, clearly controlled by an alien mind. This enigma grasped my attention for a whole minute!

When you see TNT written on the side of a box supposedly produced by the US Army you loose all credibility in my opinion.

Teacher's comments: Must try harder. Much, much harder.
