That might sound a bit too harsh. And the movie tries and is pretty trashy (I can see why someone rated it really high) and funny at times. But overall it does not really entertain as much as it could. It tries to be too serious for its own good. Still (and especially if you consider the German title "... Invasion USA", that kinda spoilers what this incident is about ... or whom it is about), if you have nothing else to do ...Then again there are better movies out there. Even the Devils Playground and other movies have more "value", but of course also a higher budget. Only watch if you can deal with the low budget restrictions and other flaws!

In the first of several explosions in this(except for one that is real, they are all poorly CGI'ed, so don't get your hopes up), an alien craft crashes onto Earth. I think, we barely see it. Anyway, this really worries the senior citizens working at Luke Airforce base, so they send out some bubble-gum-chewing soldiers, only for them to die at the hand of confusing quick cuts, some of which may contain a trace of the creatures. Well, this flick mainly concerns itself with the prisoners escaping their transport bus who bring along the guards as hostages(complete with an attractive female working at the pen, just to complete the rip-off of Con Air... and *yes*, there is even someone who needs medical attention among them) who find themselves in a seemingly abandoned town that is obviously where the extra-terrestrials are hiding. One of the criminals thinks he's Michael Madsen(don't feel bad, at first glance, I kinda thought you were, too, dude), and he's kind of in charge. There's some tension and a few physical fights, and if the characters weren't so boring, stereotypical and clichéd, we'd probably care. We do eventually see the outer space beings for more than a single frame, and the designs are decent(if one is unmistakably a man in a suit), if there's little violence or gore. Even the sex scene is merely hinted at! Come on, this isn't an artistic piece, it's a B movie, don't you know your audience? This nearly always shuns away from what we want to see! There are two hot chicks in this, though. The acting is pretty bad. This is only 83 minutes sans credits, and it simply doesn't deliver what we expect of it. It isn't entertaining(not even in the "so bad it's good" way), and it tries to be smarter than it is, and fails(and if it didn't, it would still be aiming wrong). Also, at times, it's like they just learned how to use the equipment; at one point they clearly move too close to the lighting setup, and with some footage, it's very easy to tell that it was sped-up. I recommend this only to those who won't listen to the warning. Oh, and conspiracy theorists might get a kick out of the very opening and the "bonus scene" at the end. 1/10

If I was still 5 I might find it scary. It is (I guess) a low budget film. The acting is not good, but could be worse - the filming and special effect is awful. The story line is thin and not worth to dwell on. Too much time is used on boring shouting scenes. The chases or fight with aliens, remind me of kids fighting with scary masks on. Some gore with blood and body parts - would scare a 5 year old kid I guess. Apparently scare the crap out of some of the persons in the film.It is far from reaching anything like the film Tremors.This turns out to be an "incident" and we see alien ships nearby earth. It make you wonder if any will make a sequel...

A darn tootin' good time on this movie. Lots of action, great sound track, and some very interesting visual moments. Also, some very strong acting from all of the characters.I felt like the set decoration was highly creative, the "critters" were particularly creepy, and the photography was stunning. Also, the editing really kept the pace up, so I was genuinely interested in what was going to happen to the characters throughout the entire movie.All this being said, I thought the little tag at the end was a little bit of a stretch, but it still made sense with the entire film that came before it.If you're interested in a sci-fi film with action and tension, this one's for you. Check it out!
