Dammit, it was almost good until...


Jesus Christ this was almost a good film. The way they shot it and put certain events together was very interesting but all that ended as soon as the actual E.B.E's arrive on screen.

These highly intelligent, interstellar beings turned out to be nothing but a bunch of pissed off rhinos with sfx ripped from an old Jurassic Park movie. Where were their energy weapons? How could they build anything with those retarded limbs? How could they be perceived as advanced and intelligent beings when they were dashing through the desert like a pack of hungry wolves? No real communication, no weapons or technology.

left me feeling like wtf did I just watch, and not in a good way.. plz, trust me and move along. A movie like 'Hangar 10 (2014)' would be far more entertaining and interesting. I'd also go as far as to say 'Area 51(2015)' was more entertaining although they failed to show much in terms of E.B.E's and it sorta ended on a cheap note like this movie. As slow as some people claim 'Hangar 10' was, I'd say it was a much better ride. 'Extraterrestrial' would also be a much better choice over this movie. Along with, 'Alien Abduction (2014)'. 'Alien Outpost'(2014) wasnt bad at all either, especially when compared to this let-down of a movie.

In 'The Phoenix Incident' they had energy weapons on their ships and super advanced air craft.. but when they invade.. it'll be on-foot and with their bare claws!? F.U 'The Phoenix Incident' for you had a great movie, well put together, until those retarded creatures ended up on screen.

Arem should stick to video games.

This was exactly my problem with it. The person I watched the movie with suggested it was like Falling Skies and the 'rhinos' were being controlled, like the 'Skitter' creatures in the show, by higher beings of the alien race...mmmm...still ruined the movie for me though ?

This reminds me of Signs, where interstellar beings attack that small house near the cornfield and are clawing at the door with their claws to get in.
