Quotes
Sky: Your world is in trouble Joshua. We have watched from a great distance, and observed that you have become a danger. Your weaponry is too advanced. You have endangered your own planet. And have become too big of a threat to others in the future. The end is here. But your world can be saved. It can save itself. If you can show me that there is value in human life, the destruction can be stopped. Prove this to me, and there will be a tomorrow.

Not Good, Not Bad, Watchable

OK this film is getting a lot of unjust hate here. I think a lot of reviewers on IMDB should give up watching B-Movies and stick to blockbusters. I mentioned B-Movie, I wouldn't really class this as a B-Movie it doesn't have any of the qualities you'd associate with traditional B-Movies exploitation, grindhouse, pulp, cheese, slasher or any raw or over-the-top vibe to it. I would class it more like a TV Movie as it is squeaky clean, apart from the nudity at the beginning. Not a film your gonna want to watch again, but it is definitely watchable. Some of the acting is goofy but most of it pulls through good, the story line wasn't too bad except for random fillers that took away from the film rather than add anything, obviously filmed in a rented office somewhere and the car chase and baby scene are pretty poor. CGI was good and for a low budget film not bad at all. The addition of the beautiful Sky (Sinead McCarthy) was a nice touch. Overall not great or good but not bad either, watchable.
