On face value, this film has all the right ingredients to qualify as a SCI-FI classic - Nazis, disgruntled US soldiers, spaceships, the Australian outback, mild sexual innuendo, time travel, a potential US presidential candidate and so much more. But, as any fan of "Celebrity Bake-Off" will tell you, having the right ingredients does not mean that you will end up with a good result.I wish I could say that I enjoyed this film. But that would be stretching the concept of enjoyment a bit too far. Will I watch it again? Doubtful. Would I watch the sequel? Sadly, yes (if they decide to make one).This is probably one of those films to see before you die, but not a film to die for.

You get the cardboard cut-outs of a group of characters in this. You have the good guy, the bad guy, the crazy guy and the rookie(s). The budget is so small that the first time the guys are lifting something "heavy" (a machine, that plays a big role, who'd have thought that? Yes, everybody!), it is really painfully obvious that what they're lifting is pretty lightweight.There is some nice CGI, but the story is more than predictable (apart from one or maybe two little twists that is). I'm not sure what to think of that ending either. There is one scene there, that will disturb people a lot (depending on what they're used to take in ... no pun intended)!

It won't win any awards ... well at least ...no positive ones, but it was a trip down memory lane ... cheer the heroes, boo the villains, and so on.Some of the special effects are excellent and the highly believable scene with the giant mosquitoes made me shiver.The characters were real, and seemed more than likely to be based on people either the director or producer had known in a previous life, perhaps.With the exception of Corporal Wyck (who continually lapsed into Aussie drawl), the characters were quite solid, very much so as they kept returning to life despite the injuries they received ....I was actually pleased about that aspect... and I considered it vaguely akin to poetic licence.As a sci-fi fan, there were just a couple of issues that nipped at my interest... why didn't the Captain go BACK in time and get the flying saucer first ? Secondly, the metal spiders at the end .... sorry, but that just went too far even for the Nazis .... loved the final cliffhanger, though !! The ending reminded me of Saturday morning picture club at the Savoy, Stoke Newington, waiting to see how Flash Gordon (in B&W) would escape the monster/fires/attacks, and so on.On the whole, yes, I enjoyed it, but then, my generation grew up on'B' films.

Well this is a strange one. You have to admire the energy that went into making this movie. But you have to ask why? It is very like an Ed Wood's film with higher production values. A movie needs more than enthusiasm and one or two ideas and you need to suppress the impulse too insert scenes that don't advance the story or out right confuse it. The movie tries too capture the feel of old time serials and occasional does but also thinks its Deliverance at times. My main complaint is the lack of an ending. They try to evoke the serial format "In the next episode" but the story just stops and leaves you with a "WTF" FEELING. Bottom line if you have nothing else to do go wash your car. That at least is constructive.
