I'm usually not a huge fan of Charlie Sheen, after how he behaves but this movie was quite ok. The movie is fine but sometimes weird.

One of the silliest movies I have every seen: bad story (the alien are already amongst us, how original), mediocre to bad acting, not the least bit intriguing and the most stupid character names I have every heard. Horrible, DO NOT watch it! The only decent things are the special effects and the alien-design.

A solid SciFi movie with a good performance by Charlie Sheen and a good overall atmosphere. I like it

Charlie Sheen channels his inner Kevin Smith in this unique take on the genre. Sure it's a little X-Files-y, and a lot of the twists are either glaringly obvious or make zero sense, but by and large it's pretty original. The climate-change message does beat you over the head a little, but only gentl More
