While this movie is by no means horrible, it’s a flick that is best suited to being played in the background while you are surfing the web on your iPad. For me, the key problem with this movie, as with the Lair, is that the aliens are painfully obvious as guys running around in rubber suits…and the rubber suits and masks are amateurish, at best. There are a wealth of other problems that are ultimately attributable to a paucity of funds. For example, look around any set and you will see a collection of items that were purchased at Home Depot or a second hand store. On the other hand, some of the CGI is quite good. Inexplicably, aliens with advanced weaponry, including shields, are continually being mowed down, by the bushel, by human soldiers with conventional AR-type weapons. Linda Hamilton (looking very, very old) claims to have lived on the alien ship for 20-30 years and has even set up a kitchen and breakfast nook in which to entertain guests. Where is she getting the food? Again, not mind-bending horrible and probably worth a look for light entertainment. 2.5 stars.
