      Audience Member I was hungover and had nothing better to watch. I haven't seen a film this bad in quite a while. Not even bad enough to be good. Dire. Amazing that someone actually made this. Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible plot, terrible clichés and ridiculous tropes. Save yourself some time and don't bother! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Low-brow throughout, but decent enough to stay with until the final third when it descends into a farcical shoot-out and conclusion. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member (1999 Director: Richard Pepin) This is the first movie I have seen by Pepin. I liked it. It was a little bit predictable but opened up with a bang! Chase scenes throughout so if you like action, you'd probably like this movie. The story was handled well An earflight team encounter a UFO let's say in maybe the 1940's but do not report it!! One of them is "taken" aboard but to all appearances just perishes because his single engine propeller plane crashes in the ocean. He carried a gene mutation which is an extreme advancement for the human race, so naturally Uncle Sam gets involved...interesting tale. R. Lee Ermey stars as the "Shoot first ask questions later," Level 5 security Colonel. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This was one awful movie, I'm a fan of Michael Madsen, my sole reason for watching it. But it was just terrible. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member What an awful sci-fi movie. What and awful movie in general. Total paycheck movie for Madsen. Not even worth a rental. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
