Just needed to post a review to make the overall rating a little more honest.

I understand people have different tastes and all that, but this movie really deserves barely a 1 star rating overall. There is NO WAY any honest person could give this a 9 or 10 rating. NO WAY. Borrowed this from another review because is says it so succinctly:

Complete waste of time. The acting was mediocre . The plot , story and message, was a total waste. Worst sci-fi movie that I've seen in years.

Editing this movie down to 60 minutes or so would have maybe brought it up to a 3 star and wasted an hour less of my life.

Why was this movie made, why did my girlfriend ask to see it, why..

I have never critique a movie before on IMDB but I felt so emotional about this that I had to.

It's a falling skies rip off even the aliens look like them. Terrible acting, Story continuity everything. I found myself yelling at the screen at the flaws in the story until I realised where I was.

I would tell you where it's bad but I would need pages and pages as nearly every minute is BAD.!! I'm ashamed that this was even produced and filmed in Australia, only good thing it employed a lot of australians, but that's it., we have, as still do better than this in this country. Skip it and see Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010). much better occupation movie. People who gave it ten i suspect are paid reviewers and others that gave it more than 5 are extremely generous.
