It is a performances centric movie
Good movie but grossly overrated
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
So before I bash this movie, I have to say that for the budget which is supposedly $500,000, they did a pretty good job of certain aspects such as very resourceful and creative use of locations. I'm not going to bother reviewing it because there's not much to review so I'll just spout out some things I noticed.I spent quite a bit of time in Montreal Canada where it was shot so I recognize the way the light looks and the fact that it was obviously shot in a snow-covered rock quarry in the middle of winter so I found that part quite depressing. All I kept thinking was how cold some of the scenes looked, like when they get covered in snow -- their hockey outfit/armour would get snow down inside it and soak their undies and neck warmers etc. Man that would be really miserable.The script sounds like it was written by a 10 year old boy, full of the usual clichés like "We got company" and "Incoming", "Fire in the hole", There's basically no script, just snippets of cliché dialogue stolen from other classic albeit stupid movies like the second Aliens when Ripley goes to the planet LV-426 with a group of 'space marines' to see what happened. This movie tries to be like that like instead of a Latino Pvt. Vasquez from Aliens you have Carmen Echeverria as a little hot headed Latino except this girl's not much of a hot head, she just spouts dumb clichés, ie: They're in a gun battle and she yells out "Come to mama" and "We got company" and then a french hockey player guy yells out "Come to Pappa" before shooting an Alien.After standing in the rock quarry, they come under fire from a spaceship that keeps trying to kill them and for about 5 minutes they just keep shooting bullets at it to no avail, even losing a team member until one of the idiots finally yells out "Carol, rocket launcher", and this chick takes out a rocket launcher and shoots the spaceship out of the air with one shot. Why did they spend 5 minutes trying to shoot it with machine guns when they had a rocket launcher? Don't ask any questions because your travelling with the Z-Team.The soundtrack is almost non-existent, just a bunch of random hyper drumming stuff with the occasional obligatory chanting choir.Again, some aspects were good for the budget but they should have spent even $10,000 on some kind of writer, and then they should have actually looked for real actors, like even local acting students if they couldn't afford to pay them and then perhaps this would have been watchable.As it was, I got about 1/2 way through before switching the channel and watching some yuppies build a big McMansion on PBS instead because even that was more interesting and less predictable then where this movie was heading.
This was probably the worst movie i have ever seen Bad graphics, really bad acting seriously students straight out of acting school would have done better, seemed to me none of these so called actors had any acting skills at all. Graphics were so bad the special FX arm was there any u could have done better with an amiga 500 editing was so that some times i didn't know what was up or down and over using same old seens over and over again, the bad music was like soft porn music and don't get me started on the monster which was a sock puppet, now they r making another my god and i also think there was one before this sequel. Try not to fall asleep watching this gem.
I usually don't write comments on movies but seeing that there is no other comment on this movie I decided to save you from one and half hour of torture. The acting is really terrible, dialogs are completely inadequate to situation, special FX are crappy, the storyline makes no sense, characters are unrealistic. Battles are idiotic, people shooting at each other from no more than 5m (15feet) for 30 sec and not hitting even once, frontal attacking having an alternative of using snipers, fighting with fists instead of guns... It almost looks like all the filming crew was forced to make this movie, but they didn't want to. If I save at least one person from watching this movie I'll be more than happy.
Bad graphics, silly soft porn scenes, electricity shooting from tits, comments like "wow that was a real tity twister" its very comedic we were laughing so hard at how bad it is and waiting for the next soft porn scene unfortunately the next soft porn scene ended up as a vulgar blood rape with a drill.Screen saver graphics, green screen shots that are so obvious you can't help but to laugh. Very funny if you drink heavy beforehand otherwise you might get sick. The quality of the video is less then your standard youtube video or spam advertisement. Scenes tied together with powerpoint screen effects, no dialog, just bits and pieces connected with the average Atari like graphics.My favorite scene was the super fake worm alien green screen shot sort of like a sock puppet. It was so funny we could not stop laughing.The worst movie ever, drink a lot before viewing so you can at least laugh that your $8.00 went into the trash.
