Four alien scouts capture four humans and run tests to determine if humans are suitable for slavery., 4 May 1999
8/10
Author: Ava De Lara from California, U.S.

This is a very enjoyable TV movie. Yes, it is a low-budget film. But the writing is strong and the sets are done well. What is nice about the human characters in this movie is that they all act like real people. Each one has moments of anger and fear, but each also show strong, decent, heroic sides. There aren't any "weakling" or selfish jerk characters. The ending is no surprise, but getting there is what counts. And this nice little film delivers the goods.
