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.

The outer limits was a tremendous sci fi, TV show that explored this very concept many times over. Are we really helping or hurting our society with what we're doing?? The only problem with this movie is that the production quality wasn't nearly as good as the TV show's was, and that's saying something. This movie was shot on such a low budget that there really wasn't much "sci fi" about it.The aliens looked like something out of the old version of Doctor Who, you know the one that your older brother watched on PBS in the late 80's early 90's. The CGI graphics are sci fi channel bad. The explanation of why the crew's ship crash landed was not very realistic, let alone the video showing the crash was just terrible. The human colony was never seen up close.I was also amazed at how in the end the bad guy switched to the good guy so quickly, and then everything was OK. Like the whole struggle throughout the entire movie wasn't worth any of the pay off.The pacing of the movie was also very slow, which is strange because there wasn't much to explain. Normally when things are slow, you get a lot of explanation or character development, but that never happens.There were also two deaths of characters in the film, yet neither really felt natural or real. One character was just introduced, not given much to do, then killed off.The one thing that really upset me, was the acting of Kenneth Sears as the doctor. He was awful. I just didn't understand what in the world he was doing at any point, and his accent. I couldn't figure out if he was doing it on purpose, or it was just how he spoke, but it was annoying and distracting.The one redeeming performance was from Beau Ballinger as Lt. Gray. Even though I would never believe in his character's choices, that has more to do with the script and the writing than it does his acting. He was actually believable as a young, yet inexperienced soldier.Still, this is not a good film, and I can't recommend you take the time to watch it.

After reading the summary here, I got interested and finally gave Homeworld a chance. I still have mixed feelings. Sci-fi movies nowdays tend to be awful, so I was a bit skeptic all through this movie, and for part of it, I was right.Let's get the bad things out of the way first: low-grade special effects, the script is awful, and the props and camera-work could be better. Homeworld being an extremely low budget movie, these things are kinda expected, so no biggie there. The acting is a little corny too, but seemingly the actors are giving their best at least. The characters have speaker names (Gray, Bane, Heart, Fulsome...etc), which is kinda strange in a movie like this, but at least they are mostly true to their characters.The good part is the story itself. Although it feels like it was taken square out of Outer Limits, it still enjoyable. The ending is the best. It manages to do a rare thing, which is to turn the tables around, making an awful movie feel much better in the long run. It completes the story, but leaves the rest for the imagination. Loved it.Interesting concept and good story. Too bad the low budget ruined the picture. Better script and dialogs, better props, scenery and effects could've made the difference. Homeworld is not a bad movie, but sadly, not a real good one either. If you like a good story, give it a try. If you are out for the flashy CGI, Homeworld is not a movie for you.

I was a bit hesitant to rent this, as Sci-fi movies you first see on the shelves tend to be appalling. I was pleasantly surprised to watch a thought-provoking film that made me really try to figure out the ending before it happened.The special effects were cool, but don't expect to see much, since they obviously spent most of their FX budget on the first scene. The acting was good for a low budget sci-fi film, but there were some moments at the beginning that almost made me turn it off. Every sci-fi film needs a hot chick, and this one will suffice. As far as the writing goes, what I thought was a bad story progression was actually pretty original and intentional considering the ending, so watch with an open mind, and enjoy the internal struggle you will face watching it.I immediately checked here after watching for some insight into the ending, so I may make another with spoilers attached, to share what I think the ending meant. Great story, I wish they had put more money into it, and acquired some more substantial acting and music. But all in all, it was an intriguing movie that anyone who likes movies that makes them think should watch.
