before you read this just Know I adore all things sci-fi, however here I must draw a line
When I first picked up this movie my first reaction was "Well this might be half interesting, but I'll give it a go" Never have I been so wrong. After the first 15 minutes I was left sitting there wondering how any of what I was watching won any awards at all.
After enduring the entirety of the film I was left wondering why a fan flick made it onto DVD. The CGI wasn't half bad though, some rather nice cut-scenes as well however the inescapable fact remains. This was a horrible film with very little plot.
I can see what they were going for though, a federation which is like a mash-up between Firefly & Starship Troopers coupled with ships modeled after X-Wings, Wraith cruisers crossed with Star Trek federation type ships with a little Battle Star Galactica thrown in & a bad guy that resembled a religious version of Palpatine. It just screams FAN MADE MOVIE, honestly if I had of encountered it on a fan flick site I would have given it a much higher and glowing review because for a fan made movie I would give it a solid 7/10 however this is not confined to the sci-fi pages of the internet.
Albeit after the first half hour or so if you lower your standards enough and don't expect much from it, try easing yourself into it a bit it make for a mediocre time killer at best, although I would have rather just re-watched Firefly or Starship Troopers as it turns out.
