Interesting in that it makes you think about why it was so bad and other films are so good. It seems to me that the screenplay was the main problem as it could have been a hilarious spoof with a good writer, in which case the amateurish production values, direction and photography would be largely irrelevant or even help it.The best part was seeing Robert Picardo from Star Trek: Voyager where he did a great job as The Doctor, while the worst part was seeing him in such a poor film. Picardo had an unintentionally funny line: "We're being told, from the sheer size of it, on impact, nothing will live." I and my friend burst out laughing. How did he keep a straight face?

It deserved to be at 43 just above Eegah. I watched this to give it a chance. it would have been a laugh rite with Joel and the robots on MST3K. Why is it bad?Quote 1: Colonel Mac: "how big is it?" (bigger than Uranus)In one shot Chris Meher was running on his own then explosion something falls out the window. next shot the woman was there with him safe and sound. How? Did he put her in his pocket. Quote 2: Cabrera:"So we have tickets to the end of the world and we don't have any damn guns" Colonel Mac:"Don't worry the US govt will be rewarding you all handsomely Lieutenant Southard: "How Handsome?"... Quote 3: "Take her out easy I just waxed her".Like the movie 'Armageddon' right? But there was a twist which was the high point of the movie. My rating was lingering on 6 or 7 and the movie beyond this point took a nosedive. Also fireman with axe more effective than army man with gun. lots of characters die because the actors portraying them wanted out of the movie. Movie ends abruptly probably maxed out budget limit on graphics. Except Kelly Hu and Lane Townsend acting was awful and the lines were cheesy too

One good point about this movie: it made me learn about Asylum and its mock-buster movies (thanks to IMDb). So now I know I have an excuse to add that unnamable thing to my SF movie collection, if I can find a copy for about $1 (I do find some on the legal market).I watched it to see how far they would go. To be honest, no one can be that bad by accident, whether acting, script, dialog, whatever. Not by accident: it has to be intentional and one has to work hard at it. So abysmal that it made me laugh on occasion.I guess it is interest in this attempt at breaking barriers and setting new records of outrageousness that won the participation of actors we have seen in better context.Spoiler (though spoiling this movie is hardly possible): Another good thing about this movie is that all the characters get killed: they all deserve it.Given that the film was actually trying to be bad, I must consider it a real success. I must logically rate it at 9. I actually hesitated between 9 and 10, but I want to encourage them or other filmmakers to try even harder to see whether they can do even worse. I actually read from other reviews that Asylum can do worse. So my guess is that 9 is the right rating.

SPOILER! SYNOPSIS IS NOT FOR THIS MOVIE NOTHING THAT THE SYNOPSIS STATES TAKES PLACE IN THIS MOVIE! The above synopsis has been entered for this movie all over the web except for a few spots, but to say they match is false. Asylum has either intentionally mislead everyone so they watch or buy this or there is something much worse going on. I don't know which but other way this movie was BAD. MST3K would have a field day with this one. If your need a bad sci-fi for a marathon to make a good movie that much better this is what you should show . Made the Battle ship movie amazing by comparison. Other than the fact that that this was not what I was looking forward to watching it was almost saved by the creatures shown. Still the "aliens" shown walked way to damn weirdly and they "queen" would have looked much better if they had used different textures on the cgi model.
