I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of terrible movies, so this isn't the first title I've seen from Sterling Entertainment and his ilk. It is, however, one of the best. Sure, it's painfully repetitive at times and not overly original, but it makes up for that with some truly (over) ambitious practical effects, legitimately fast-paced plot (which includes everything from ancient treasure to aliens to military shoot outs), ridiculously over-the-top characters and a perfect B-movie throw-away ending. If you're expecting something on-par with the work of Ridley Scott, obviously this is going to be a disappointment. But if you're looking for exactly what you SHOULD expect from a film called 'Alien 3000' produced on a micro budget, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
