3/10
no-budget X-files rip
26 January 2004
I picked up this movie as a big fan of Debbie Rochon, and for that reason alone was not disappointed, she is the one thing that makes this movie watchable. There are 4 'stories' - the first is a journalist who finds out that her boyfriend is an alien and that she's pregnant. This segment is by far the best of the movie, its well acted, interesting and frankly looks great.

Alas it goes down hill from here, the second story is about an operative who disappeared 5 years ago and suddenly reappears being chased by these two dodgy looking men in black. They are aliens and want this mysterious stone that only he knows the location of. Rather dull and nonsensical.

Part three is the worst, I almost didn't think I'd make it to the end. A man is sent into the quarrentined state of Florida in the not to distant future to bring back intelligence on alien time travel. He gets to wrestle a papier mache alligator and do some very silly looking kung-fu. Shudder this is bad.

The final part beings us back to the lovely Miss Rochon and brings in the alien war plot line. Not bad, reasonably complex plot and ok the budget is very limited, but I actually thought it wasn't too bad.

Overall this is a very disjointed film. The middle is so very very bad, and rather unnecessary, but the beginning and end are rather fun. I can't say I'd recommend this, but I have seen an awful lot worse.
