Come on... between the amazing indie English and Aussie alien invasion flicks, Occupation is not only amazing but has all the actors we love, Kendra from Galactica, Jengo Fett from Star Wars, Gabe(the blond girl) from Romper Stomper, and special hats off to Hobbes from V(the remake), as he is great as always!!, and lastly to the gorgeous Izzy Stevens, who I had never heard of but I think she did a great job as she bore the crutch of romance between two boys while trying to be a daughter who loves her step dad but has to struggle with forgiving him. This may not be the perfect Sci Fi movie to critics but to a true fan of the Genre this is great, they really nailed the Red Dawn atmosphere but with real aliens that are completely revealed ensuing a true battle in the end... they did a great job with this and I loved it.
I was annoyed that so many gave it a bad review because in the end it is exactly what you want in a film like this, the right amount of character development, some true loss, then a true military confrontation. Forget you naysayers, as far as indie sci fi this one gets a 9/10 at worst.. BONUS: look up “When the War Began” for another cool Aussie indie invasion film.
I dare anyone to tell me a single SyFy movie that even compares to this, and most of the fools who review movies actually gave “Sharknado” or any of its 6 sequels a positive review.. ridiculous.
