Load of rubbish!!

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This movie is kind of entertaining for the sci-fi fan. It has many references to other Sci-Fi creations, including Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, Battle Star Galatcia and Dune. In fact the film must assume many of the users are familiar with many of these Stories as elements of each are used throughout. For instance Stargates are used both with no explanation of what for. The film is scattered with cheesy humor, that gives it much charm. The start of the movie features a 5+ minute prologue, which in part seems to be put in to extend the movie length. Don't see it to be blown away by special effects. See it when you are in the mood for some grade B Sci-fi.

This one came outta nowhere. I read the short Netflix summary about the last man and woman on the run from a genocidal alien race and said to myself-- "Okay, low B grade straight to DVD hack job about survival of last human couple scurrying about some industrial pit that the viewer is supposed to pretend is an alien planet." Yeah, right. . .but hey! Why not?I ordered it-- figuring on some ridiculous fluff to pass a Friday nighter.Not surprisingly, the opener started with a morphed alien voice proceeding to give us a NARRATED short History of the Galaxy that went way too long and didn't really explain the difference or the connection between Humans, Neanderthals, Nephelim, Nazis, Cyborgs and Huh-what? I went for an iced tea from the fridge and the Voice-over was STILL going. Then by the time I'm debating whether to just pop the disk and go to iTunes, the scene goes to Space and planets and starships and explosions and Starships and fleets and planetary invasions and more starships and more explosions. . .Well, I have to admit, I sat thru it and was like: Well Yeah! I STILL didn't quite know WHY all the starships and invasions and explosions were happening. . .but they looked awful good and I'm a sucker for decent FX.Now from that point, the story will try and bring in this captain and his ship and his crew. The problem is this: Is this a drama? or is it a Funny? And the producers seem to understand this problem, because just before I get too puzzled, I'm straightaway mesmerized with more Starships, and Stargates and explosions and starfleets and explosions. . .At this point, I'm beginning to feel like I'm being played. But geez, those FX were pretty nifty!!But then they try the dialogue and plot thing again. And the hero captain tries the uneven Funny thing again and then More explosions and Starfleet FX and blue skinned people and more humanoid people who are not human. . .I think.Then came the ending-- with yet ANOTHER Narrative Voice-over (after yet another long dose of Starships & Explosions and liberal use of Medium yield Tactical Nukes)I scratched my head and said: "Huh?"So. . .VERY Uneven. GREAT FX! Storyline & characters BARELY made cohesive sense, but GREAT FX! If anything, I now take back my long-standing gripe with Lucasfilms and the StarWars Saga-- Imagine if Lucas tried to squeeze all 5 to 6 Star Wars movies into 90 Minutes. One would have somewhat the same result, some spots of dialogue, some odd humor, a LOT OF STARSHIPS & EXPLOSIONS & STARSHIPS and then. . .The End. Not Good.Best fit for this movie: a Saturday afternoon when you don't wanna leave the house. Pop this one in the player and watch the FX while you doing other stuff, like browsing the net or remote managing your servers or yakking with your buddies.GREAT FX, Though!!

It is rare that one finds sci fi action films that dare to broach the themes of women's issues. For centuries, we have dealt with biological clocks, and this story shines a unique light on women's struggles with femininity and motherhood. How refreshing to have a film where female characters are more than cardboard cutouts for the hero to exploit. Hats off to Neil Johnson for creating a compelling story line that speaks to the plight of all mankind to find a meaningful presence in the universe. The special effects are outstanding, and the musical score is gorgeous. Acting performances bring the story to life. Jay Laisne is handsome and natural in the lead role of Derasi Vorde and creates the perfect charismatic hero. A good theatrical effort and well worth seeing.

This is the latest straight-to-DVD sci-fi production in a sort of series. Not being familiar with Neil Johnson's work until now, I can't compare this with preceding films that take place in the same universe. I might be interested to hear from others who can, but I myself must review this as a standalone movie, and unfortunately, there isn't much to say in that regard. This is just a cheap-looking, amateurish, bad sci-fi movie.The IMDb Trivia section makes references to a relatively large budget for this film, compared to previous works by this filmmaker. All I can say to that is the previous films must have been pretty darn cheap to compete with this. The CGI bordered on acceptable, but shots incorporating real-world photography with CGI ("green-screen" shots) looked very obvious and ineffective. Space scenes were overdone with nauseating camera shakes and quick in-and-out zooms that left me reaching for the Pepto-Bismol.The acting was mediocre at best, and the writing was worse. Our hero is a wise-cracking third-rate Han Solo parody with love handles.You can smell all of this coming from the beginning, though. This film features a narrated prologue to catch you up on the history of Neil Johnson's fictional universe, which comprises the most gruelingly boring 6 minutes and 30 seconds you'll ever spend in front of a screen. Whenever you think it's over, it just keeps going, and manages to make 6 minutes feel like February in its entirety.
