Oh Jesus! What an absolute stinker! It’s appallingly bad. Like a pilot episode for some dreadful budget sci fi series that never made it past its first episode. Bad acting, bad script, bad execution and just laughable dinky special effects. A total cinematic embarrassment. It boggles the mind that anyone gave it more than the minimum 1 Star. I can only imagine they must have worked on this farce and are trying to up it’s ratings.

I have to be careful here because there are some movies that become a cult classic by virtue of being a train wreck (The Room anyone?) I don't want people to get the wrong impression of my thoughts. This movie is the 'good God what just happened to a small part of my life' kind of bad. I have a major soft spot for Australian movies and also for sci-fi but no national pride or nostalgia could redeem this one. So much of it just doesn't make sense - there must be a book that it's based on and the main plot just seems too distracted amidst all of the characters regardless of their acting. Aliens with capable AI drones and yet they resort to invasion with foot soldiers that would rather be playing hide and seek. Any thinking about this movie will take you down mental rabbit holes that you will just regret devoting further time to.

I loved it. But then I love the original Red Dawn (1984), and the game Homefront (2011), both written by the same chap. Some people will claim to dislike, if not hate it. It's Australian, decent acting, some familiar faces (even if you're not Australian), and the CGI isn't terrible (especially if you consider the fact this film didn't get a huge Hollywood budget). Pay no heed to nitpicking reviewers. So what if the invaders have aerial drones, the USAF have multitudes of drones.
