But what's important to remember is that they capture humans by hypnotizing them with a bright, 'beautiful', lens flare-riffic light. This is an obvious parallel to how SFX movies are meant to capture audiences. Hell, it could be a direct dig at Star Trek and Avatar; they suckered folks in based on prettiness rather than depth. Of course, the whole point is to rip out your brain, because who needs a brain if all you use it for is to look at shinies?" www.LivingDeadDocumentary.com

This was obviously a low budget film but they still could have made it interesting and entertaining with decent dialogue and character motivations. It was a real mess. I think they should have made it more like "Night of the Living Dead" except with aliens instead of zombies. As it is, they try to create tension from questionable confrontations between the characters while you impatiently wait for some interaction with the aliens but it is so badly written it fails miserably. The ending is so inexplicable it's not even funny.

So, between this and BATTLE LA I am going to just go ahead and join the SUCKERPUNCH fanclub. Obviously I enjoy movies that just plain suck. My fanzine all about Rock N Roll: www.sonicruin.com
