Astronomer George Herbert (C. Thomas Howell) is assigned to investigate reports of strange meteors crashing into earth near New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. As the meteors land, enormous multi-limbed metal creatures disembark and begin destroying everything and everyone in their path with heat-ray guns. Amidst the apocalyptic destruction, Herbert teams with a soldier (Andy Lauer) and a pastor (Rhett Giles) on his journey into Washington to reunite with his family.

Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It really says something that it took three writers to produce such a piece of junk. Sep 10, 2009 Full Review Mel Valentin eFilmCritic.com Rated: 3/5 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Mark R. Leeper rec.arts.movies.reviews The film has the impact of a Sci-Fi Channel film and the writing may not even be that good. Overall this is the least satisfying of the four film adaptations to date. Rated: 4/10 Nov 11, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com If you just love the Alien Invasion stories, you could certainly do a whole lot worse. In fact, you probably have within the past year alone. Rated: 3/5 Sep 7, 2005 Full Review David Cornelius eFilmCritic.com As far as pulp cheapies go, this one's a delightful surprise. Rated: 4/5 Jul 16, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This gets one star because it was in both color and stereo. Those are the only things going for it. I watched this on Redbox or Pluto or whatever FOR FREE, and still feel like I should get a refund. This makes every SYFY Channel movie look like an Oscar contender.
