Synopsis

The year: 3037. Earth is at war with aliens called Mendax, who have remarkable mental abilities and are determined to wipe out humankind. In retaliation, a military team is sent to the Mendax homeworld. Their mission: To deliver the Devorga Strain, a powerful virus engineered to attack the Mendax immune system, exterminating them from their planet. One of the team members is terribly injured when their ship crash lands on the Mendax homeworld. Will they leave a member of their team behind, or risk being slowed by the burden? When the secret of Homeworld is discovered, they must find the truth within themselves or all is lost. But how can you learn the truth when everything you see and feel may be an illusion?

Ron Perez I was pretty impressed by the outcome of this story. Yes, the CGI is not good and unfortunately hurts the realness of the plot itself. I was also disappointed by not seeing the creature more, but that wasn't as bad as the costumes of the natives. However, I loved the music and the story itself was good. And given the other comments I have read on here, I personally thought Kenneth Sears did well as Dr. Bayne and actually made his own character different from the norm. I thought his character and Beau Ballenger's character, Gray, had good chemistry. But enough with the cliché' characters! When I found out that this movie's budget was so small, I realized that the project was good and is better than most things I see on the Sci-Fi channel.
Moody2008 I saw this movie without thinking i would get something out of it, but it seems the story was actually captivating. Especially the ending was a bit of a surprise, although it was kind of spoiled by final words before throwing the virus at the city more exactly it was kind of a cliché. The acting wasn't all that good, i didn't see anyone that caught my attention as an actor in this film. The special effects weren't necessarily bad as they were almost missing. But the good part was the story. It was kind of a psychological SF film. I tend to ignore the lack of special effects if the story is right because i think a movie is made by the story not by the special effects and that is what i appreciate most. So it depends on what you want in a movie to decide if you should watch this movie or not.
gerry137 Really, no action, no aliens that I could see, no nothing I felt that this was the worst movie ever, and believe me for me to post a comment on this site..well, just does not happen. If you really have problems getting to sleep at night, put the bible away and watch this, guaranteed to be asleep in seconds and no pills required. I must admit at first it looked promising, spaceship crash lands some survivors have to go into survival mode but thats it. The acting was predictable, special affects, well they sucked. All in all I did not have any patience for this movie. But at the end of the day its the viewer that decides what they like, for me it was a waste of time. You will get more enjoyment weeding your garden..
dean-202 This is one of those films where the producers know they can get quick cash from the scifi fanbase, then get out without refunding anyone's money. This film isn't a labor of love, it is just labor - as in 'uninteresting drudgery'. * Apparently in the future the military consists only of bad, out of work actors - or some horrible alien cliché weapon made them stiff, robotic and unable to speak in normal human conversational tones. *Once you get a few minutes in, you wonder - "Is the plot of this thing going to be about a group of soldiers who THINK they are human but are actually the 'aliens' they are setting out to fight?" Yes it was a Deep Space 9 plot. * when fighting in a forest, you either stay perfectly clean, or completely filthy. There is no in-between. Looks like someone in makeup found a smudge stick in their kit and used it exclusively. * When you establish a 'head wound' it should still be visible when the camera changes angle..... thanks again makeup, stellar work. * If you do not use the word "lieutenant" in EVERY line of dialog, people won't remember that this is the "military" *Apparently it IS OK to pull your punches during fight scenes, as long as the camera shakes a bit while your actors miss the mark. * If you like Adobe After Effects as your visual effects software, this film does not disappoint. * Is it "Mendex", "Mendax" or "Mandex"? The cast used all 3.The one thing this film teaches you is this: If you have ever WATCHED film school dropouts make an amateur movie, that is all the prep, skill and talent you need to create a work such as "Homeworld".Oddly enough the music for the film by John Vincent McCauley wasn't half bad. I wouldn't mind seeing Bronston Delone ("the black guy") in a real movie as he seems to have talent, though the director of this "film" did his best to hide it.*There is one scene about 35 minutes in.... no actors, just a hill, fog and the sun fighting through the cloud - and it is breathtaking especially with the music design. This ONE '4 second' shot was so good in comparison, it is completely superior to this entire movie.Now, I actually can't watch this show to its conclusion.... it is just so horrible, so I can't tell you if they stole the previously mentioned plot line from DS9, but really... who cares if they did? Are the soldiers actually Mendex? Probably. Do I care? Hell no.A message for writer/director Phillip Hudson: Pick a department and get good at it because you suck at both of your current choices.
