Ratings and reviews

What do you get when you have a movie with an unengaging non-cohesive plot, horrible & illogical storytelling, atrocious hollow characters, a horrible screenplay, a boring color palette, weak unconvincing effects, bland acting, & a bad cast? You get one of the worst movies ever! Not to mention that this film is also forgettable, weak, boring, unrealistic, and will turn your brian into mush. The characters are extremely difficult to follow, difficult to remember, & ugly. The movie's title gives you what this movie is about, but, there is not much of a detailed premise of what it's about. Despite this, There is not much plot to it's narrative, it's just a series of weird sketches. The acting went from mediocre to bad, the score is mostly orchestral, but half of the entire score is electronic droning sounds, & there is nothing fresh or amazing about the score. There are moments of bad green screen effects too. The production design looks a bit believable, but, at the same time, it does not seem believable, & it's questionable. There is nothing positive about this giant pile of rubbish!

This is possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. I will never understand how this thing made it beyond the awful script that was filmed, let alone why anyone would pay a single cent to watch it. Just do yourself a favor and stay far away from this pathetic attempt at a movie.

Not the best sifi but entertaining. I'm a sifi fanatic so it made it easy for me to like it. Small things like flying jets with no realistic training but just a few weeks on a simulator can ruin a movie if you let it.
