I consider myself a generous man when it comes to reviewing indie sci-fi. I have given 7 stars to Russian dubbed science fiction with a good idea where others gave it 2 stars. I say this so you don't think I am being harsh.
I was attracted to this film by the intriguing cover and some actors I have heard of. MMA stars and Denise Richards? Must be a high-end B movie with decent producers and directors...right?
The opening scene was laughable. I'm not sure if the plane was a toy or from Playstation 2. The cockpit scene was terrible. And what is up with those TRS-80 graphics they show over and over? The first 15 minutes made zero sense but instead of it creating a mystery you want to solve, it made me want to turn it off and go to bed. But I slogged through this as it is a sci-fi film.
The good? Well...there was a hint of an essence of a whiff of an idea that was okay. Forgetting his wife to cover up the alien secret of hybrid kids...dang it...that's the whole plot. Sorry. I just saved you 90 minutes of your life. So not sorry.
Anyway, the fight scenes were so bad that my wrestling matches in grade 4 were better. The acting was not good at all. And why did the MMA fighter get beat up consistently with punches that a blind lady in a wheelchair could dodge?
The plot is a guy running from this group of agents. Getting caught. Escaping. Getting caught. Being let go. Running. Getting caught. Running some more. I mean, how bad are these agents that some bum with a head injury that just got out of the hospital is getting away 5 seconds after he jumped out a window and should have broken both ankles? And he hides behind the only retaining wall in sight...and you drive away?
I could go on but I just can't. The ending is ambiguous. Some guy with a head full of stars reveals the alien plot. The guys dead daughter is resurrected with the power of a baby with glowing green eyes. Some emotionless lady holding the baby makes the earth explode and agents disappear and reappear on Mars or something. But none of that matters because I guess there is time travel where it all goes back to the beginning of the movie but with one small change.
If you mash up 12 monkeys, Star Gate, Alf and The Fugitive...then hire a 7 year old using a ChatGPT to feed it prompts...you are getting close.
