Review:
The actors are not awful, as the case is in most of low-budget sci-fi films. The story is a bit confusing, and after a while I didn't really care much. I did, however, like the female lead, who is sexy in each different outfit she wore in the film. The writing is okay, and just like the story, somewhat confusing.
The editing and cinematography left a lot to be desired; the specialvisual effects were not bad (again, for such a low budget film). Overall, I say I've seen worse films; I just wish that all low budget sci-fiaction movies didn't feel the need to rely on guns so much. It's not that I'm anti gun; it's just becoming a major cliché in low budget film-making, that's all.
