Take it for what it is....everybody's trying to be a critic...

Take it for what it is and it'll keep it in perspective for you. It's not J.J. Abram's Star Trek, Michael Bay's Transformers, James Cameron's Aliens or Terminator but it's a decently fun sci-fi action film. It's a low budget creative movie. The acting is decent, action is decent and the film pays homage to a lot of sci-fi classics. You have the super bad female soldier, the tough leader, etc. You'll even see familiar creatures and familiar space vessels from films like Big Trouble in Little China and Aliens as well as other creations.

I think one problem with movie watches today is everyone's trying to be a critic. They seem to have the false impression they could suddenly do a better job if given a low budget and actors to direct.

I'm not going to lie, it doesn't take a genius level to find small problems in the plot or decision making of the characters, but if you're not trying to be next Roger Ebert, Gene Shalit, or Leonard Maltin...you'll be OK.

I enjoyed the film and if you'r not a super critic you might too.
