Honestly, I think that the only reason why this film was made was because it's a cheap way to make a little money. It's a movie about an alien invasion where humans are being abducted from Earth by the bunches. It stars a lot of low budget actors and Donald Faison (Terry) and Eric Balfour (Jarrod).
This film was laughable all the way through. It had horrible acting, writing, and took itself way too seriously. The best part about the film was the need that it gave the audience to want to know what "it" was all about. The ending was pretty good too, but it didn't make up for the lack of everything else. I'm not letting a film get away with a decent grade just because of a good ending anymore. The characters made stupid decisions and had unthought-out arguments when the others would challenge them. I literally could think of a better way to go about the problem each time one arose. Like I've said before, I don't like it when films create unrealistic problems just for the sake of more drama to occur.
There's a reason why this movie wasn't released during the summer with all the other action blockbusters--because it would have failed even worse--especially with a juxtaposition next to action films that were worth the budgets! I guess the effects in this film were decent considering the limited budget, but the budget was limited for a reason.
If you want a good laugh, go see this movie.
Overall Grade: D-
