Ye Gods, this is a stinker. I went to see it b/c the StarWars trailer was playing, and stuck around, figuring "I paid to see the trailer, so this is a free movie." The lead actors (Prinze, Lillard) had a combined 3 facial expressions between them. There was no real plot. The aliens were really pathetic looking. The spaceships were ugly. Everybody laughed at all the 'serious moments' (kisses, deathbed scenes). A lot of good actors (Karyo, Suchet, Warner, Prochnow) showed up, I guess for an easy paycheck. But, any movie like this is watchable if they blow stuff up. And this movie had unique explosions in that they sent waves of green distortion out. Cool effect. Best thing about the movie, and that's pretty sad.
