Uhm, I enjoyed the foreboding visions of the impending doom, but that’s about as much as I liked about the film.

Things start going wrong very similar to ‘Skyline’ – only ‘Skyline’ was far superior to this film. The visual effects were B-movie-ish, and this film was just not as exciting. The film later felt like deja vu, moving around in circles going nowhere. I can’t say I liked the twist ending either. I mean, what the hell?? There’s too much here that doesn’t add up. I don’t think I’m going to remember this for a long time. I’d rather watch ‘Skyline’ a hundred times over.
