I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Very Cool!!!
Admirable film.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Talky, ponderous sci-fi is about twenty-minutes overspent in my opinion, and while it does a fair job in painting the isolation of a remote band of people discovering the human race may have become extinct in the wake of an alien invasion, it does little to fulfil the promise when action is needed.Director Rebane has a solid concept, and his cast of amateurs do a creditable job (notably Bentzen and Holt) with a heavy emphasis on dialogue and building a sense of intrigue out of a flickering red light and interference on a ham radio. The landscape is attractive and while there are a couple of moments where the pace gets above ambling, it's an effort to reach the climax (which while unexpected, doesn't redeem the previous 95 minutes of hard-talking labour).One of those films that promises much in its narrative build-up, dangling the juicy plot carrots, displaying an attractive ambition that is ultimately never realised; and when you discover that it was never on the negative and certainly never on the page, you become (understandably) quite aggrieved that you invested almost two hours of your precious life for such a blatant ruse. I wanted "They" to live up to its potential, and disappointingly, though it's picturesque and moody, it doesn't come to fruition.
Collosal bore from Wisconsin filmmaker Bill Rebane with hilariously awful "special" (ill)effects and a talky script whose ridiculous story plods along at a languishing pace that demands the most amount of patience ever conceived from any unfortunate viewer who happens to sit down to watch it. It features an ending so unbelievably corny, you'll be left in silence wondering if it was possible to conclude an invasion story any more ineptly. Five characters are holding up in a cabin as their country falls prey to Martian invaders from "inner Earth"..just wait to you hear the theory of goofball Stan(Paul Bentzen)regarding Mars being right near Earth centuries ago, having to leave, deciding to make their new home within the center of our world. Anyway, a pilot, Jake(Nick Holt)runs a service where he treats campers to his lodge for a vacation in the snowy wilderness. He looks after orphaned teenager Sarah(Debbi Pick)as a fatherly figure. Stan, along with Sarah's love-interest Eric(Karl Wallace)and prick Andy(Robert Arkens)were preparing to return home when Jake encountered a warning from a sickened airstrip operator who insisted he not land due to a mysterious plague spreading across rural America. As they remain in the cabin, away from civilization, tempers flare and the search for food has been difficult. What makes matters worse is when Andy takes off in Jake's plane, feeling the effects of a ray used by the Martians with the result being a crash. Left in the middle of nowhere, without food, running out of gas, Jake will make the decision to use a snowmobile, hoping to find help for them.Rebane juxtaposes certain happenings outside of the plot regarding the log cabin characters, colored steam and red balls of light which cause people to act strangely, even disappearing. The flying saucers are of the Ed Wood school, quite an embarrassment, removing even the slightest bit of credibility Rebane attempted to establish with the development of his characters.I like a good isolation story, and the setting of a log cabin, cut off from civilization, within the wintry wilderness certainly provides a good backdrop. I think a competent director, with even a decent(..nothing extravagant)budget, can utilize the framework Rebane has to work with, characters effected by the threat of invasion, attempting to uncover what is occurring outside their radius to the rest of the country, but he doesn't know how to produce even a hint of suspense and the terrible use of inappropriate, loud, obnoxious musical arrangements produces even worse an experience. I simply wanted it to end, because the film doesn't capitalize on a premise that could work in a more talented director's hands. I'm sure the script was too ambitious, considering the monetary means for this movie was obviously limited(..if you are to make an invasion movie, then you have to produce more than colorful steam and red balls of light to convince us of the terror that threatens mankind).
"A group of campers in the Canadian wilderness begins (sic) to hear strange reports over their radio. Tales of a plague spreading across the Earth, sightings of bizarre beings as well as planes and cars malfunctioning fills the airwaves. Terrified by what they've been listening to, the campers decide to barricade themselves at their cabin in order to face the danger," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.Aka "They", this is a very difficult movie to sit through. Hardly anything ever happens to the five main characters. They seem to be isolated in snowy Wisconsin, for reasons severely lacking in clarity, as the Earth is invaded from within. The "leader" finally emerges as "Stan" (Paul Bentzen); he is the blonde guy with the beard. "Sarah" (Debbi Pick) and "Jake" (Nick Holt) are brother and sister. "Eric" (Karl Wallace) seems to be the early "leader"; and, "Andy" (Robert Arkens) quintuples the group.The startling ending (a pair of loin-clothed young children are tastefully shown) would have worked; however, the preceding 90 minutes don't lead you there. The very derivative soundtrack jumps the shark when "Jake" goes for help in his snowmobile, to the tune of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly"!
How can one write a script and produce a movie without one entertaining moment. Film is supposed to be visual in nature and this has people sitting around talking the whole time. And it's no "My Dinner with Andre." Something is killing the people of earth. It's spreading. Some people, trapped in some pretty cold environs (Canada?) are left to try to figure it out. That's all they ever do. Try to figure it out. They have no plan. They have no vitality. The aliens never confront them, to speak of, and so we don't even know what's going on. The outdoorsy scientist has a theory, but it could just be a bunch of hooey. The conclusion is about as stupid as anything I've seen in years. How could someone get the money to put together such a snoozer. If you can't compete with the big boys, at least tell a decent story. As with so many of these, there are long treks through the snow and a snowmobile trip that goes for about ten minutes with nothing happening.
