I bought this movie in a package that came with three other films ("The Last Sentinel", "Supernova" and "The Black Hole") which were all produced between 2005 and 2007. Of these four films this one is clearly the best. Essentially, alien creatures from another galaxy have come to Earth and have managed to occupy the bodies of certain prominent officials within a large city. Their goal is to repopulate their species and to do that the "Queen" has laid thousands of eggs which are due to be hatched. However, in order for the eggs to survive the incubation period they need a certain type of "mulch" which is best made underground with human remains as the main fertilizer. It's at this time that an archaeologist named "Lloyd Walker" (Gil Bellows) is informed that a site he has been working on has been permanently closed due to "safety issues". Not content with this turn of events Walker seeks the assistance of a woman named "Liz Quinlan" (Daryl Hannah) who works on the city council. Meanwhile a reporter by the name of "Jake Roth" (John Cassini) is working on a story but can't quite put all of the pieces of the puzzle together and his investigation brings him to Lloyd. Once they compare notes both of them realize that something sinister is going on and the answers might be found in room "86" at city hall. Now rather than reveal any more of this film I will just say that this is a two-part, made-for-television movie which does rather well despite the limitations of that particular venue. I particularly liked the CGI along with the addition of Suleka Mathew (as "Marianne") and the aforementioned Daryl Hannah. In short, this movie turned out to be better than I thought it would be and I rate it as slightly above average.

*Spoiler/plot- Final Days of Planet Earth, 2006, An end-of-days-story with an archaeologist discovers that aliens posing a local Govt officials are harvesting the citizens to take over the planet.*Special Stars- Daryl Hannah, Gil Bellows, Campbell Scott *Theme- Humanity is temporary owner's of planet Earth, the bugs are coming.*Trivia/location/goofs- TV movie, Canadian flag in some Govt building shots when plot supposedly taking place in Northwestern USA.*Emotion- A rather crazy film with the low-key dramatic situations but somewhat saved by the rest of the film's good horror pacing. It looked like this film was 'cashing-in' on the era's "Alien" bug-like film genre. Ms. Hannah as the queen insect alien is a little interesting. It's a very bad film and a waste of the starring actor's talents.

The plot makes no sense. The characters are random at best. The things people say and do have no grounding in reality. Darryl Hannah and others blink (a lot). No, contrary to some reviewers you will not necessarily like this if you like 50's sci fi movies or whatever. It just is a terrible movie. Here are some things that entertained me about the movie: Walker lighting a match next to the eggs with no explosion and then being able to throw a match down from 20 feet into the same area (match stays lit!) and kaboom a giant flame shoots up. Bystanders are heard screaming because of the explosion and then no-one pays any attention and goes on about their business-ridiculous!Sealing the ground with concrete after a man has sunk down in it and disappeared, sparking a rescue operation-ridiculous!Sitting in a waiting room waiting to see someone and getting suspicious because of all the mysterious things: 1)everyone has a note that says "give first consideration to this candidate" 2)the receptionist doesn't blink-ridiculous!Sticking a stun gun in someones face because they offer you a tip after you inspect their house for pests-ridiculous!Giving someone your phone number and "home address" in case they want to contact you-ridiculous!Walker going to city hall and asking the city engineer why he can't get permission to "continue his dig" after it's been sealed with concrete (and a man is in there dead and lost) and the city engineer says he'll try to get him permission-and to give him a couple of days-ridiculous!Honestly I couldn't continue to watch something that made no sense-especially in the beginning, where the plot was non-existent and it was just a bunch of random scenes thrown together. This is not the worst movie I have ever seen, as it is somewhat elevated by the fact that it is a science fiction movie and I love science fiction, but the fact is that it is just not watchable. Read a book instead.

I like this movie very much. It's simple, humble but well down, exciting and beautiful. Daryl Hannah plays the mysterious Queen Ant and she is very beautiful at age of 45 and I think Gil Bellows and the other actors and actresses play very well. Thank you Hallmark.
