“I liked the premise of this film, OK, itu0026#39;s a mish-mash of other science fiction films, but thatu0026#39;s no bad thing if done well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnfortunately this is not done well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe dialogue is poor, delivery is worse. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEffects are poor by todayu0026#39;s standards.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eActing is one of the better aspects of this film, seriously. However the bar is low.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is very confused and the telling, using drawn out boring flashbacks is confusing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe music reminds me of waiting in an elevator.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHave to admit, about have way through I started to hit the fast forward button. It did not lessen my understanding of the story, nor detract from any sense of drama. Iu0026#39;m pretty certain I didnu0026#39;t miss anything.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI gave it two for effort, while technically failing and wasting an evening, the film has vision, and a crew willing to give it a go.”
