A cheesy, fun alien "B" movie!

The Good:

Charlie Sheen was perfect for the title role! True he overacts most of the time but in a "B: movie like this it actually works! The story is fun and interesting. It blends allot of science with it'f fiction which is always a plus in my book! I have seen big budgeted alien movies that have not been as entertaining as this!

The Bad:

Well.... it is a "B" movie. As you would expect most of the acting is pretty bad and there is a CGI overload! The aliens look pretty bad but for it's time it has it's moments. It's not with out it's nonsensical and frustrating moments and the dialogue as expected can be cheesy.

Overall:

A fun alien "B" movie reminiscent of the 50's! At times it's non sensical and Charlie Sheen overacts but it's good enough to satisfy sci-fi fans! I'd say check it out!
