adrenachrome The attempt here was to do a gritty space opera epic, written in multiple parts (this is a sequel, and the DVD promises another one forthcoming) and while this can be done (see the *original* Star Wars) well given the right talent and experience, it was not to be the case here.I think the failure lies in the director trying to do more than he is capable of. Case in point: There is supposed to be pre-mission camaraderie amongst the soldiers at the local bar, but the director gave no motivation to the cast, and probably told them to "just wing it." The trouble with "just winging it" is legion, the acting becomes flat, the dialogue is stilted, the acting forced and rather than add to the film, it becomes a throwaway scene.Sadly, most of the film is like this, throwaway scene after throwaway scene, until you are left with dis-jointed bits that may work for ~30 seconds or so, but can not, indeed, will not, ever make for a good movie.Perhaps the director was following in Uwe Boll's footsteps and make spoof films on someone elses money, I'm not certain as there were no extras on the DVD giving insight into the motivation of the cast and/or crew, much less the director. Instead, we are forced to take this film at face value, a serious space opera, and as others have mentioned, the face value is utterly worthless.The director is much like a captain on a ship. No matter what occurs, the captain will take the blame (or the praise if the film is good) even if forced to work with sub-standard material and doing his level best to rise above. Perhaps the writers were drunk when they wrote this, perhaps the camera crew were fighting over a woman the entire time. I don't know, all I know is what is presented to me by the director.In the hands of a truly great director (Ridley Scott for example) this might have been a fun popcorn film, as it was, it was a waste of my rental money.If, perchance, the director, or cast/crew should read this, do not take it personally, rather take it in the spirit as it was intended: Get some more experience, take the reins a little more firmly, do not be afraid to re-think/re-shoot scenes, and show us what you can *really* do.

hansener-1 I think IMDb is broken because i can't give this movie enough stars. Gratuitous boobies, awesome cgi, and unmatched story telling make this movie a must see for all lovers of space-marine based films. The dialog is gripping and well thought out. The story makes perfect sense and is actually quite believable for this genre. I could not have asked for a better film watching experience. The special effects are some of Quebec's best work that i've seen and rival that of Hollywood's best mid 90's productions. This movie is a must-see. The sound editing is especially phenomenal, not once did i have trouble hearing the dialog because the music was too loud. Cinematography at its finest. Never have I been more envious of an actor as I was during the "butt sledding" scene. it really looked like fun.

poodlishka I usually don't write comments on movies but seeing that there is no other comment on this movie I decided to save you from one and half hour of torture. The acting is really terrible, dialogs are completely inadequate to situation, special FX are crappy, the storyline makes no sense, characters are unrealistic. Battles are idiotic, people shooting at each other from no more than 5m (15feet) for 30 sec and not hitting even once, frontal attacking having an alternative of using snipers, fighting with fists instead of guns... It almost looks like all the filming crew was forced to make this movie, but they didn't want to. If I save at least one person from watching this movie I'll be more than happy.

endoskull81 Bad graphics, silly soft porn scenes, electricity shooting from tits, comments like "wow that was a real tity twister" its very comedic we were laughing so hard at how bad it is and waiting for the next soft porn scene unfortunately the next soft porn scene ended up as a vulgar blood rape with a drill.Screen saver graphics, green screen shots that are so obvious you can't help but to laugh. Very funny if you drink heavy beforehand otherwise you might get sick. The quality of the video is less then your standard youtube video or spam advertisement. Scenes tied together with powerpoint screen effects, no dialog, just bits and pieces connected with the average Atari like graphics.My favorite scene was the super fake worm alien green screen shot sort of like a sock puppet. It was so funny we could not stop laughing.The worst movie ever, drink a lot before viewing so you can at least laugh that your $8.00 went into the trash.
