    Films like this should be illegal

    So this was obviously made to ride off of the back of Independence day 2 and once that film bombed at the box office, this film was renamed to ride off of the back of a film that was a success, Interstellar. Stealing the poster art, movies ideas and making the names as close as possible, as to trick people into thinking this was one of the prior mentioned films.

    That in itself should be illegal, it's false advertising, blatant copyright theft and tricks unsuspecting people into thinking it is another film entirely. If this was posted on Youtube it would be given a banned from the site within minutes.

    I can't really say much more about the film than has already been said, there are low budget films and there are micro budget films and then there films like this. Films that literally do not have a budget.

    It's nothing but stock footage, poorly rendered public domain CGI animations used on a loop, photo's meant to look like real film footage, no really, there are photo's used as buildings and establishing shots that are passed off as video footage when there is clearly no wind or movement in the shots at all.

    The sets are pretty much someones house and lots of tin foil to cover walls and make then look....Sci, fi-y. The acting is porn movie level and the writing and dialogue is cringe inducing.

    It's awful in every way possible and not in a "so bad it's good" way either. It's painful to watch and people who paid money to view this should be demanding a refund. Lazy, pathetic and just a complete swizz of a film to steal as much money as quick as possible and run for the hills.

    Avoid.

    Seriously?...

    The low rating of "Interstellar Wars" here on IMDb should be a warning sign to stay well clear of this movie. I, however, opted to sit down and watch the movie regardless. Why? Well, because I was given the chance and thought that it might actually be so bad that it would be fun and good in an odd way...

    ...But it wasn't! "Interstellar Wars" turned out to be horribly boring. The storyline was so unfathomably moronic and ridiculous that it was an awful affront to witness on the screen. The storyline is about aliens attacking Earth, and people are essentially helpless to put up much of any kind of resistance.

    Right, well this has been seen numerous times before in other similar movies, but usually it is handled and pulled off with a better impact and effect in other movies. So don't expect anything grand or impressive from "Interstellar Wars" in terms of storyline and plot.

    This being a Sci-Fi movie, then having proper special effects that are realistic and believable is alpha and omega. "Interstellar Wars", however, didn't have that. And the lack of proper effects was definitely a hard blow to the overall movie. Actually, the special effects and CGI that were present in "Interstellar Wars" was so poor that it was straining on the eyes. Furthermore, while on the special effects topic, then the green screen work in this movie was just downright horrible. I will go as far as to saying that this might very well be some of the worst green screen work that I have ever witnessed.

    The characters in "Interstellar Wars" were rigid and one-dimensional, and were essentially just cardboard cut-outs milling about in a less than mediocre story. And that makes the audience care not one bit about the characters in any degree.

    As for the acting talents starring in "Interstellar Wars", well, let's just say that I can't remember a single performance from what I witnessed here. And I am sure it is because that the actors and actresses had very little to work with in terms of script and storyline.

    I am sure that writer Robert Ryan had the best of interests at heart and in mind while writing the script for "Interstellar Wars". And it might have worked out well enough on paper. But translated to the screen, not so much.

    "Interstellar Wars" is definitely a movie that will test your mettle and will to the very end. Why? Well, because it was most certainly a battle to see this movie to the end. I managed to do so, but clearly was ready to give up a couple of times along the way.

    There is nothing here to make me recommend this movie to anyone, unless you find mind-numbing boring movies interesting. If so, by all means, give "Interstellar Wars" a go.

    This is absolutely terrible. Low budget/no budget, no plot.

    This is the worst "movie" ever made. Perhaps it is somebody's idea of a joke? Film locations include a vacant lot in Bakersfield, an alley in Los Angeles, and a warehouse somewhere. The adult actors are high school kids. There is porn without any sex. The fighter jets are plastic toys hanging by wires. Inane dialogue. Apparently they couldn't afford makeup for the "zombies", so their eyes just turn red and they act mean. And the aliens? What aliens? This thing went straight to DVD to the bargain bin to the trash bin. There is nothing camp or cult about it... it's just pure garbage. Don't waste your time.

    How did they get budget?

    I've seen many low budget movies but with good scenario and directing they are pretty nice, but this one, horrible, seems that someone gave money to amateur porno crew and ordered to make sci-fi. Seem that crew wanted good porno but producer drove them to make sci-fi, better crew do what they used to do. The worst sci-fi I've seen ever. Bad scenario (no actually very stupid), bad directing, bad actor play. I wouldn't mention bad SFX due to low budget or maybe not low, I don't know. Seems lots of people were enrolled in this project and no one shouted - STOP, we are wasting money. One of my favorite movies is Idiocracy and seems that this movie is directed by Idiocracy's personages from bad future.

    great for a laugh at a party viewing

    when i watch a film with a rating below 2,i expect a laugh.this one was hilarious from beginning to end,apart from out-takes !!! were they the only ones they noticed. the control centre seemed to expand and contract. one of the main characters seemed to drink a lot and zipped through hyper space too often for me. i had to open a 6 pack to keep watching. i am no raving beauty myself but i am afraid i would give a second glance to most of the actors. i could start on the special effects, continuity and everything else but i think i have said everything to get the point, a well deserved .5

    • Trivia
      Leroy goes all-in with a missile attack that was supposed to disrupt the mothership's activity on Earth, despite Kyle's advice to pull back and attack after the fighters are gone and the way is clear, instead of going head-in and surely dying. He ignores Kyle's attempt to form a plan and goes in alone and he does manage to fire the missile, but ultimately dies. Before dying he states that the missile is "a special delivery from Leeerooooyyy Jeeenkiins".

      This is a reference to the "Leroy Jenkins" meme, a clip in World of Warcraft where a group of players try to meticulously plan how to approach the next room, full of powerful monsters. One member of the group with the game nickname "Leroy Jenkins" shows as anxious about raiding the next room. The leader of the gang tries to calm him down and attempts to explain the best course of action (as he sees it). Before he finishes describing his plan, the player Leroy Jenkins goes into the adjacent room solo screaming "Leeerooooyyy Jeeenkiins", prompting the squad leader to follow him in order to protect him since the leader knows Leroy can't possibly take down all monsters alone. Because of Leroy's careless maneuver not only his avatar, but the whole squad's avatars die.

      In German subtitles "122,000 miles" is translated as "weniger als zwei Lichtjahre (less than two light-years)." This is about as precise as stating that the distance NY - LA (ca. 2450 miles) is "more than 2 inch."
