This style of science fiction film is generally going to get roasted by critics due to it's incredibly slow pacing. It plays out like a dream sequence with some scenes that move so slow you'll be checking your TV remote control to see if the movie was set to Pause mode. There's actually some great visuals here and considering the budget, that was well done. But this is far from being an action film. It's a cerebral take on War of The Worlds.. the first half of the film plods along so slowly it's painful. The 2nd half of the film isn't bad at all. So if edited properly this would make a fine 60 minute Twilight Zone episode. But at 1 hour and 49 minutes in length it's just a real drag, unfortunately.
