Watched it not thinking it would be much, WOW was I wrong. Really Really good movie. Loved all the characters all the acting was good. Really felt for everyone that died. Just a well done movie.
If you can look past some of the effects its a great movie. Def well written and well acted.

I agree: not expecting much, but pleasantly surprised. Netflix predicted I would give it a 2 rating, but I gave it a 4 (out of 5). For a bunch of unknown actors, they did a good job. The action scenes were well done and held my attention through to the end. Glad I watched it.
shareI agree. Not really sure why it is rated so low.
shareI'm a sucker for alien/sci-fi low budget films. I was expecting to get a good laugh throughout, but i liked this movie.
The acting was good. The special effects where good too.
I gave it 4stars on Netflix and 7 here.
I was expecting some noise to play in the background; but it was much better than that. It had character development! The actors could really act! The script, and particularly, the dialog was great. The tactics and strategy actually made sense in the movie and in the real world of small unit tactics. They actually explained how they had an 'anti-alien' round, how it worked and it made sense. (However, I doubt you could ever build up a 5.56x45mm rifle or round that much, a cal. .50 would work.) There were some superfluous plot twists–like why was the last replacement from Germany? Why did they call it a 'space defense force,' instead of the US/Canada/English/etc Army? (The concept that all earth armies could be combined into one is the most fantastical concept in the movie.)
Then came the ending. The code from the guy's eyelid was unbelievable. As was them driving up and just finding some strategic alien base, in plain sight, with only a couple of local convert guards. What happened inside the base and/or what the things where that flew off at the end really didn't make sense.
How did it end, anyway? Was that the defeat of the bad aliens? Or did it just spark another escalation by the aliens.
Despite these problems, I really liked this movie. Aft
For sure, great film! I am hoping they make a part 2!
shareAgreed. I went blindly in to this movie, not expecting anything since it had a low rating. Was pleasantly surprised over how good it actually was.
shareThe movie badly needed a bigger budget.
It was distracting how low budget it was to have so many combat and tech scenes. Did that last fight take place inside a laser tag arena?
Plot didn't make a lot of sense. If the aliens were literally THAT close to firing their EMP gun - why would they draw so much attention to themselves? Maybe put a bigger lock on the door?
I didn't even understand what happened to North. What about the German dude - did he die or just vanish?
Zombies were lame. Randomly having 'kill me' carved in his head was lame.
Having said all of that - some of the actors were decent and the documentary style was a good choice for what they were trying to do.
