Oh my gosh this was awful!
rodney_h29 March 2024
I don't even know where to begin reviewing this dreck. There's really no story here, just a bunch of illogical, poorly written, poorly acted disjointed scenes filled with gibberish dialog. If I didn't know better, I would wager this was written by some sixth graders as a joint class assignment. This film was literally all over the place. It's like it couldn't even decide what genre of filmmaking to which it wanted to belong. It's part sci-fi, part zombie apocalypse, part horror, part drama, part action flick and part comedy (although the comical parts I sure weren't written to be funny) and sadly, it FAILS miserably in every category. I really tried to give it a chance but after suffering through almost exactly half of this train wreck I just had to turn it off.

It seems made by amateurs
MadA_037 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
It is said never judge a book by its covers but you cand judge a movie by its first three minutes. I started to watch it because I was intrigued by the ratings from Italy, a huge discrepancy and I thought that maybe it's some querky european movie. The story would not be that bad but most of the actors are (non-convincing, like reading a script, no emotion) and the soundtrack... please, have merci! Music makes everything. It is monotonous like in a bad video game. The filmography ... simply bad. No dynamic. The only decent thing in the whole movie was the decor, the scenery. This would be good if you like to watch movies, make fun snarky comments and laugh with your friends or have a background while doing other more ... grown up interesting activities.

So bad....is BAD....
JCinHB19 April 2024
Well... I am 50 minutes into watching this 'movie' and thought I would just write my take on this movie.... because typing this is more entertaining!!!! DO NOT listen to the couple reviews that say this is a good movie, because it is NOT.

Like others have said, 'is this movie a school project'?? While watching it, the plot is kinda non existent, it jumps from scene to scene and its just soooo corny. Some of the time, they are just standing in front of a green screen and its so amateurish. Other times they are just using empty basements or other facilities and its just so bad.

If you wanna spend 90 minutes to see what a BAD movie looks like, go for it.... but don't say I didn't warn you.... there are just so many other movies to spend your time on.

Avoid at all cost

Not only is it terrible when it comes to acting, plot, effects...wait...it's actually terrible in EVERY way.

This must have been some film school class project..there is no way this was created and published by anyone with any degree of experience or skill w/in the industry.

It's so bad. It's sooooo bad.

I agree, this was awful.
agremlin8229 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Just parroting what reviewer Rodney H stated, "Oh my God this was awful!" I agree wholeheartedly, even though I missed the first 10 to 15 minutes of the movie I feel I was lucky. I would have gouged my eyes out but I think that that would have hurt a lot more than staying to the end of this crap. There are a couple of spoilers here, first off he was right. The plot line was all over the place, there were action scenes that made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Whomever made this movie should be ashamed, truly ashamed. The only pluses other than missing the first 15 minutes was the beautiful Ellie Patrikios, who I must say was a joy to view. My greatest hope is that the memory of this movie does not follow her career in a detrimental way. This movie should be forgotten in all its ungloriness. If somebody gives this thing over a two rating, they were paid! The only other plus was action scenes were filmed pretty well, however the plot line is if you fire 50,000 rounds of ammunition point blank at a alien mutant and it doesn't go down, firing 50,001 rounds aren't going to do the trick either. Just seems the soldiers were sacrificing their lives for absolutely no reason other than to make noises and to die. The moral of that tactic is if bullets aren't going to kill the monster, find something else. A rat trap, a grenade, a lawn dart, a toaster, a copy of this movie on DVD perhaps would be a fatal interaction. But emptying bullet after bullet after bullet did absolutely no good so why are they constantly so close that this thing could kill them. Made no sense. The whole time fragment with the guy making initials on walls made no sense. This whole movie made no sense. If I could unsee something this would be it except of course for the one hot actress, my hope Is that she will have a fruitful and long-lasting career. This movie however isn't going to help. This was a true horror, not the genre, the review for this movie. True horror. Somebody should go to jail!

Italian Rip-Off Cinema is Alive & Well
Remembertoforget81028 March 2024
I saw this in the theater during what I'm assuming was its minimal theatrical run and had an absolute blast w this flick.

This is like a modern rendition of what the Italian genre film industry was doing in the 80's when they were shamelessly ripping off American film production hits like Alien, Conan, and Terminator.

Hats off to the filmmaking team behind this one to bring something like this into the modern cinematic realm.

So much bat-shiz crazy things are happening from one scene to the next. Things that I couldn't even fathom. And I was just wondering how it even made sense. Absolute brilliance!

By the end of the film I was literally applauding.

Recycled and Potential Warning: Spoilers
I've given this a 6 star, as you can see the passion on wanting to create this movie, as they have used every trick-in-the-book to hide not having a budget including for writers. Using recycled props and improvisations for their technological usages through-out movie, meaning I also started to fast-forward aswell. This has the potential of being a great story if it had a Production company resources and budget! The premise is that Earth has a extreme violent Alien invasion, where some survivors manage to find a time machine to go back to prevent this catastrophe, but as the title suggests something is waiting for them?

Action fantasy movie
pulicetto1 April 2024
Action fantasy movie if looked at with attention to detail the story works.

Classic bad guy to defeat, but the connection between past and present must be understood otherwise you won't be able to appreciate the story.

It's not the classic splatter or the classic action film but it can be watched There are some passages that are difficult to understand unless you pay particular attention to detail

Pleasant setting, appropriate cyberpunk costumes, in my opinion it's not bad, the big boss is very hugly.

Famous actors and not all of them good.

Special effects with some imperfections but not bad.

I think I'll go and watch it again to understand some more things.
