Battalion

This has all the directoral skill, acting ability, script writing, cinematography and flow of a high-school fan film... except we've seen far better fan films. Some of the camera work looks like it came out of the 60s, the acting out of the 70s, and the plot straight out of the "mean aliens" handbook. This doesn't even qualify as schlock; this is people making a movie who have no idea what they're doing. Me giving a film 1-star isn't common-- they have to be total garbage to earn that rating, but this one definitely qualifies. I haven't seen work this bad since... well, I guess I have to give it creds for being uniquely bad of its own right. This might qualify for the SyFy channel... if the company needed a last-minute fill-in and was desperate. But it would damage their reputation.

After hearing pretty much mostly negative things about this flick, I wanted to watch it to see if it was that bad. Sure enough, it was. First off, let's start off with the quality. The quality of the movie looks like it was shot on an iPhone, and looks like a high school student movie. Second off, the CGI looks like a PS2 game of some sorts. Third off, the acting is porn quality. And the last thing, did they REALLY need to back away from the camera in the scene when that guy kisses his wife? I think a 10 year old did this. I also felt the point to shut it off. And I did, because it's THAT bad. Seriously, if you want a good war flick, just watch the classic Full Metal Jacket, or Saving Private Ryan.

Should have check out the reviews here before getting this con job. It's something a Kid made in grade school

Poor effects - which is ok for such a low budget. Poor sets and costumes - for which a poor budget is no excuse. Poor acting. Poor American accents, I mean I think i could do a better Australian accent than these Australians do American accents.

Things didn't exactly make a lot of sense either: Why fly an airliner at the aliens? Did anyone making, acting in or characters in the movie ever see anything military-related? The odds are against it. And what "battalion"?

I gave it an extra star for effort to tell an original story and for not preaching to me. Otherwise not good at all.

Bad cgi , no problem, i can watch through that, but the audio work.... the background sound is so extreme loud, that the bass was going trough the roof when i wanted to hear the people talk. i wasn't able to continue this movie.
