“I get that a lot of people grew up watching scifi movies and have these big grand ideas that they think will make next great scifi movie, you can skimp on the special effects if you take that into account when planning out the film, you can skimp on the actor rates if you spend more time finding the right unknowns, but when aim high with the effects but donu0026#39;t have the budget, when you aim for sexy and talented actors but only have enough budget for one and you choose sexy and when you have a director that really overestimates their vision you end up with lame movies like this, you knew this film was lame and thatu0026#39;s why you bought the 500 7,8 and 9 rating votes on here. Next time just put all your effort into making an engaging and immersive story, then find the most talented actors you can get with your budget, then and only then if you have money left do you go for the sexy and the flashy explosions. Overall I give it a 3/10, It would have been a 2 but I just feel sorry for the people involved so I added one.”
