- Quotes
Sky: Your world is in trouble Joshua. We have watched from a great distance, and observed that you have become a danger. Your weaponry is too advanced. You have endangered your own planet. And have become too big of a threat to others in the future. The end is here. But your world can be saved. It can save itself. If you can show me that there is value in human life, the destruction can be stopped. Prove this to me, and there will be a tomorrow.

Who keeps track when a totally clean baby is born thanks to bit-part-but-MAIN-CHARACTER-on-video Judd Nelson? It's directed with the flair of a 4 year old finger-paint from an AIDS infected oil derrick. Crew lights pop up constantly in a shot (sometimes as an "intentional" effect, other times it's just plain damn laziness), the roof of the set can be seen many times, the crew is seen running up to a black truck (me and my friends just had to chuckle at the lack of any money to fix something like that), and the beginning and opening credits alone spell what certain doom awaits with the *slow* crawling. The robot aliens and nuclear fall-out scenes are, to say kindly, completely unrealistic when compared to other baffling and stupid alien-robot-nuclear-fallout movies.
Did I mention the acting? Good Lord! Maybe the most random reference to Angelina Jolie EVER, plus, um, Judd Nelson? What did Howell do to drag you into this? Maybe a cookie? This is tripe, but maybe not the worst ever made.... just bad enough to leave that "horrible" taste in your mouth. Howell could've done worse, and I'll be damned to an undisclosed circle of hell if I live to see it. Maybe it's just worth picking up the video box at Blockbuster to read the back and see a "quoted" review (I put quotes on quoted since it was probably the director who wrote this blurb) which says "In the epic tradition of Transformers and Independence Day." Can you say yikes sandwich with a side of WTF/ha-ha dressing?
