Not as bad as some people think
I've literally just finished watching the movie for the very first time. Sure it's a rip off of 'The day the earth stood still', Sure it's low budget, Sure it has pretty bad effects.
It doesn't make it a bad movie though, it has alot of suspense (you are never 100% sure if the world will end or not) it has sex appeal and it has emotion. In fact, I can think of a few scenes that nearly made me tear up (mainly because of the score, but still)
Put it this way, 'the day the earth stood still' isn't all that better, apart from its budget and well known actors.
I give this movie 7/10.
