   A
                            space shuttle crash lands into an ocean
                            and returning to Earth without orders and
                            while a team lead by Nick Saxon (Nick
                            Scalia) they discover that the astronauts
                            are not the same anymore after rising
                            from the ocean and ends up killing the
                            others and are very powerful and then are
                            discovered that they are infected by an
                            alien parasite while this unknown life
                            tries to brings eggs which were lost in
                            an accident to Earth and take over the
                            world.One of the astronauts named Deborah
                            (Donna W. Scott) was infected and tells
                            Nick on what he has to do while a greedy
                            lieutentant named Cutter (Lance LeGault)
                            who wants to study this alien life and
                            not caring if the body it's infecting
                            gets killed.
 Nick, Deborah and a scientist named
                            Marian (Robin Curtis) must go to the
                            secret base where these creatures are
                            breeding and wiping them out before these
                            things take over the world.
 
   We spot nice camera shots
                            on  a teenage
                            couple making out on their boat in an
                            ocean with a good shot looking up on them
                            with a space shuttle ready to fall into
                            the ocean near them as this looked very
                            suspenseful and creepy.Many good shots on people  rising out of the
                            ocean and onto a dock attacking the
                            soldiers with Cutter getting demanding and
                            leading his them.
 Also, many great shots on a car chase
                            with cars exploding and tumbling over as
                            well as a good close up shot on Lasker  showing a sneering expression on his
                            face while driving a police car.
 Good shot on Lasker tied down with metal object in a room
                            acting like he's having a seisure with
                            good effects on his flesh doing different
                            things along with a nice energetic
                            moment on his breaking free and then
                            knocking everyone over in a hospital
                            hallway. We show many good shots on him  being shot and trying to still stand
                            while doing so.
 A nice moment with  a
                            homeless person underneath a bridge and
                            spotting an object opening up and glowing
                            with a good shocked expression on his
                            face.
 A good gathering around with Zimmerman, Jackson and Joseph discussing what is happening to them and
                            then showing good expressions on them
                            changing and then acting like aliens.
 Great close up shots on Deborah firing her big gun.
 We spot a good distant shot on Zimmerman  trying to run away shooting while the
                            supporting cast as soldiers are shooting
                            after him as well as good blocking up him
                            climbing up some stairs and an explosion
                            happens on the top steps.
 Good shot on Marian   examining a corpse with great shots on
                            the body opening up revealing the insides
                            and then something leaping out in an
                            Alien type of fashion but yet it doesn't
                            make you jump like it's supposed to.
 A good tense discussion between Deborah   acting possessed with an alien
                            inside her speaking to Nicholas   at
                            a diner with a nice approach by a
                            waitress acting sarcastic about her
                            having a hangover after spotting her eyes
                            which offers some chuckles on how it was
                            done plus a good nasty attitude with Deborah  towards her.
 A nice dialogue moment with Deborah, Nicholas and Marian  in a
                            hotel room discussing their plan.
 We spot many good stunt shots on Nicholas grabbing onto a broken object while a
                            truck is driving and trying to get back
                            up while it's racing on the road with
                            good shots on Fox driving and acting anxious.
 Nice shots on Nicholas, Deborah, Marian  and Fox  at
                              a field base with their weapons trying to
                              hunt for the aline eggs as well as a good
                              dark shot on both Deborah  and Marian discussing about the alien breed.
 Good close up shot on Nicholas  emotionally talking to Deborah  about what had happened when he was in
                              space and about this dark breed of aliens
                              with tears and sweat pouring down his
                              face making this moment look extremely
                              effective.
 We have some great moments with Jackson  firing his gun against many of the
                              supporting characters and a great shot on one
                              of them breaking down in flames.
 A nice shot on Joseph  lying on a floor like he's about to
                              transform into one of the creatures with
                              great intense facial expressions.
 There's good shot on the sodiers  walking around trying to hunt down aliens
                              with nice shots on them hiding behind
                              objects. There's also good shots on these
                              creatures jumping behind cast members
                              like Fox and breathing over
                              them which looked very deadly.
 Another great shot Nicholas  entering in a room with an alien behind
                              him drooling and a good close up shot on
                              him slowly turning his head and then many
                              nice shots on him doing battles with this
                              thing.
 Bottom line is that this film seemed
                              to clone both Terminator and Aliens with a touch
                              of Predator too and
                              tried to bring it all together. I kinda
                              found this a tribute to those
                              sci-fi/horror flicks which I think is a
                              compliment showing great stunts and
                              explosive effects too. It was cheesy at
                              times but not low budget cheesiness. It
                              was a bit of a surprise that this went
                              right to video since the material looked
                              very theatrical. Again, direct-to-video
                              for horror films do alot better.
 I've seen better films but what makes
                              this flick a notch above average was all
                              the action fighting and car chasings
                              packing a good punch. The story however,
                              is a bit slow and then it really grows
                              towards close to the end of the flick
                              with these creatures revealing
                              themselves. The creatures looked a cross
                              between the creatres from Aliens and
                              the warriors from Predator.
                              During the same time the figures looked a
                              little corny.
 This film is for you if you're in the
                              mood for a notch above average horror
                              with plenty of battling action too.
                              Otherwise you may want to put this on
                              hold.
 
 The acting is not
                            too bad but not award winning either.
                            Lead actor Jack Scalia (Nicholas
                            'Nick' Saxon) seemed to
                            deliver his lines in a good fashion as
                            well as showing a good seriousness to his
                            part on what he was doing showing the odd
                            energetic moment with his struggling
                            battles.Lance LeGault (Cutter) however really overdid
                            his part as the head sergeant and seemed
                            a little too corny with his speaking and
                            ordering others around. He was more
                            famous for his roles in The
                              A-Team and Magnum P.I. Sorry
                            folks he just wasn't convincing at all as
                            he tried way too hard and seems to have
                            just known his lines without focusing too
                            much on how to deliver them.
 Donna W. Scott (Deborah) on the other hand
                            really brought everything she had into
                            her role while being possessed by an
                            alien and showing a dark attitude and
                            then when she was herself had a niceness
                            to her role. She displayed a good
                            versatality to all of this. She stood out
                            with her action fighting and everything
                            else that she had to do for this film.
 Jonathan Banks (Joseph Shay) really knew how to
                            act possessed as well being the leader of
                            the bunch showing a coldlike and creepy
                            behavior. Sometimes however it was
                            performed cheesily but again I dug it.
 Carlos Carrasco (Fox) showed some humor to
                            his part helping out fighting against
                            these aliens and was a true character
                            actor. Anyone who watched this film I'm
                            sure he will be remembered showing
                            perfect energy to his part in it like
                            most of the main characters mentioned so
                            far. He had the right looks too.
 George Buck Flower (Homeless Man) had only a brief
                            role in this one but has mostly had these
                            types of roles in other flicks too but I
                            had to mention him. He really seemed
                            different with his appearance as a
                            homeless man and made his performance
                            worthy for the viewers and was a key
                            member to the story too.
 
 There's a butt revealed on Jonathan Banks lying naked on a
                            ground. 
 A hand punches through a
                            soliders chestA body opens up with their heart and
                            insides revealing
 A corpse is slashed

 The music was terrifically
                            composed by Louis Febre with
                            great adventureous classical music
                            hearing the trombone and violin scores
                            along with many great high pitched
                            screeching music too as well as the
                            thumps which were necessary for this type
                            of a film.       |
