Fresh and Exciting

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This movie is clearly what it was set up to be: a low budget sci-fi action to take some money from people who liked Screamers. Unfortunately, 95% of the script is taken from Aliens, they even have Lance Henriksen in it. The only thing that is bringing to the table is that now we know where The Arrow was all that time he said he was on an island somewhere. (that's a Steve Amell reference, sorry)In truth I really wanted to like it. I loved Screamers and I thought that, just as that one was a box office bust but was OK, this would also be some sort of attempt to escape mediocrity, however when the film starts with talk about "class 10 Magellanic solar meteoric storm" you know you're in trouble.Bottom line: everything in this movie is copied from somewhere, like scavenged spare parts put together to kill any sort of creativity. Ironically to the point.

Well I can't really compete with the comments below that rate this movie as horrible. The fact is, they are all quite correct. What I can tell you is, this movie was MADE for the Satellite of Love. I mean, this is a true match made in heaven. Mike, Crow and Servo could probably get TWO episodes out of this movie without flexing any real muscle and probably three with just a bit of thought. The dialog alone is enough to leave you in stitches. Apparently, elite military units just kinda ramble around, shooting randomly from no cover at people with bows and arrows. Yea, it's THAT kind of movie. If you're a fan of the first one and you just HAVE to watch this, gather up some friends and spring for a case of cheap beer. Better that, than suffer alone.

I really looked forward seeing the sequel to screamers, as the first one is a b-movie scifi-marvel. But what did I get? This? Non-class-pseudo-actors given a piece of inconsistent trash to make a movie from??? Everything is stolen from great scifi-masterpieces like alien 1 and 2. You may credit this as "hommage" but a movie as bad is just an insult to those movies. The story is nonexistent, read the other criticisms below for details of how insanely stupid and at the same time boring the script was written. You can foretell every minute in the movie as it is so plain obvious. In how dire financial problems was Lance Henriksen to make even this short appearance?Utter waste of time. Just watch it if - like someone suggested below - you want to see it as a scifi-parody. Even if it's bad.

I saw the original Screamers (1995) when I was 11 years old. Though I admit both the old and new have their flaws, they were both entertaining movies. This one had updated graphics, nice CGI. Not the greatest acting in the world but definitely enough to keep the movie entertaining. Some people pride themselves on everything having to be too perfect. In my opinion this movie has everything it needs. An attractive woman as the main character, action, intrigue, mystery, and even a couple twists. It is a somewhat predictable movie, but entertaining nevertheless. I have it 8/10 because A.) Gina is very attractive. B.) Action. C.) I loved the original and it was great to see a sequel. D.) The ending!
