A rather fantastic little gem of a film.

Got to say, I'd never heard of this film and was quite surprised to hear of its impressive casting. Nonetheless, I've just finished a few hours of quality viewing. From the action sequences to the overall rather odd future the film is based in, it definitely feels different to your standard sci-fi flick. But don't let that put you off, it's damn good, surprisingly so in fact.

The film's based around the premise of an alien machine landing on Earth several hundred years before. The machine corrupts humans and turns them into mutants, essentially slave drones to go out into the world and capture more humans to repeat the process. Without wanting to spoil anything, the film focuses on a bunch of various soldiers attempting to stop the menace...but that's only scratching the surface, as there's plenty more to it than that.

The action is quick, furious and bloody, the soundtrack suitably dark and the various actors go to their roles with enthusiasm. Overall, I'd have to say it's a pretty impressive flick and I'd recommend you watch it.
