The first twenty minutes you get a setup with most of the famous actors from down under, so you think this might be good. Then it begins and you see special effects from the 1980's. I don't mind low budget Sci-Fi - there are some real gems out there - but any decent director could use a wide array of tricks to get around that. Alas this was just painful. The actors and the FX team did their best but this movie slides from would be Hollywood, to Doctor Who TV show, to film school project in less than 30 minutes. I tried to enjoy the story but it makes no sense. I highly doubt if the writers have ever read any book about science or warfare. The characters are clichés and you never really care about them. The film's high point scenes are cheesier than "Pearl Harbor" and "The Patriot" combined. Nearly 80% of the movie is shot on one location and again the director fails to compensate for it . The list goes on and on. Easily one of the ten worst movies I've ever seen. Normally I would just rate this and move on, but when I read the reviews here I simply had to act. Only way you can enjoy these 2 hours is with a group of friends and a drinking game.
