It is a SYFY movie correct? Did you expect a multi million dollar budget? Hang that! The movie was good. The dialogue was not bad and the acting came off as more believable than a lot of what comes off of that channel.
Ben Cross makes the film shine regardless of what one thinks of the effects and such. It is worth watching for him alone, but the rest of the cast was good with ONE exception--that was the actress playing the press secretary...She came across as flat to me. Thank God her part was small. She batted those eyes like a teenager rather than controlling her facial expressions like an adult. It also seemed as though she looked away off to her right instead of into a camera or an audience her character was addressing. Pathetic. At least Cross handled that podium scene well enough to cover up her snafu.
I am not going to put spoilers in here for those who haven't watched it but while the effects weren't that great, consider the budget. Yes, more could have been done in that respect but given what they had to work with, the cast and crew did well...
Unless you go to theaters, you won't get films with outrageous budgets to tickle your fancy.
