Synopsis
you know the deal. aliens invade kill a ton of humans at once and then slowly pick off the remaining ones with their different, more personal service aliens.
The Woman
uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh. this was amazingly bad borderline awesome in the beginning, but got pretty old pretty quickly. and the movie is only an hour and twenty something. there was no developing plot. i think perhaps that is why it began to drag because nothing changed. there were no plans for escape. and, no, the nuclear bomb didn't work...i don't know why we even keep that technology around because that shit never works. so after all that dragging, limping, and hiding around the ending was TOTALLY LAME! i wasn't expecting a keyser soze ending or anything, but it didn't make much sense. it wasn't an ending. the ending of this movie should have happened an hour in and then there could have been some movement a climax aaaaaaaand end.
what's with the obsession with using early 90's bad teen tv show actors? i was waiting for lisa turtle to jump out. maybe she was an alien. this reminded me of a syfy original with an outrageous budget, but at least syfy originals now exactly what they are and revel in their bad writing and poor plot, and use of actors no one has heard from in fifteen years.
