    Cheesy low budget sci-fi. An entertaining 90 minutes, mostly for unintended reasons.

    Not too thrilling. Laughable. Walter Koenig in this low-budget slow-paced alien-themed sci-fi thriller - fails to excite.

    this movie is so bad its almost good...some of the actors seem to be ordinary joes plucked off the street....amateurish with a weak plot and an awful script...

    Hilarious. I actually really enjoyed this when I first saw it though I'm sure now I'd find it pretty cheesy. God, I was an idiotic teenager who'd like anything with a monster in it (and Bruce Campbell for that matter).

    I never thought I would see the day when I thought a Bruce Campbell movie sucked well this was it. The story is nothing new killer robots from outer space. Walter Koenig is the only big name actor in the film, (Chekov in Star Trek for those who don't know him.)but his acting is...( read more) wooden and seems forced at times. The direction was fine and the animatronics look cool. In the end it just left me wishing that they would have fleshed out more of a story.

    Bruce Campbell = cult classic!

    What ever The King Bruce Campbell is in - I have to see. :)
  • August 25, 2007
    Not great. Bad acting from Bruce Campbell makes it worth a watch.
  • July 27, 2007
    for a ultra low budget sci fi where most of the folks had uncashable paychecks... quite decent really.

    Surprisingly good, considering the low budget. I found it very entertaining.
