Shame the story is meandering, slow and confusing but the special effects and dedication that the team that made this is to be admired.

John Carpenter would be proud of what they did with such a small budget.
Amazing what can be done with a few dustbin lids , some tubing and plastic cartons!

Music was especially good , photography was good (some of the Matte paintings or CGI skyscapes were truly fantastic - reminded me of the ones in Predators only better, acting was good especially found Aleisha Rose mesmerising lol...oh and Reef was great too!!!

I totally agree. Script needed a couple more drafts. I don't even know how you get half of that stuff done on such a low budget - i thought CGI was expensive as fnck. Micalif's Reef was the star for me. I found it annoying the dude lived in the planet for three years but never really got to the bottom of what the deal was with the alien life form.
