Warning: Spoilers
Revolt is War of the Worlds or more recently Battle Los Angeles on a small budget-scale (it reminds me a little of the zombie flick The Dead, also playing in Africa). The movie is okay and entertaining but the plot got imo some very weak spots: SPOILER ALERT - how does one who is marked and tracked creep along to his enemy!? Our hero dragging the emp to the mother-ship, it's just a very bad idea and won't work for obvious reasons. Also, an enemy who invaded the whole of the earth - this is so much of a big scale operation even a 1000 emp's won't change the outcome, and btw - I am sure such a sophisticated alien race would know what kind of war equipment and techniques humankind would have got in their arsenals. Well, the movie is okay, but I personally am a little fed up with movies where some hero(es) beat a much more powerful enemy - just imagine, a few Stone Age People beat with their clubs the legions of Rome...

On the plus - well acted, production of good TV-scale - a movie for the sci-fi connoisseur on a boring afternoon.
