Review by GEORGE R WARBURTON
Well done. Contrary to the opinion of one of the other viewers, I found it very entertaining ---- yet incredibly lonely (a needed part of the plot).

Well done. Contrary to the opinion of one of the other viewers, I found it very entertaining ---- yet incredibly lonely (a needed part of the plot).
The earth has been conquered by extraterrestrials who came to get at our resources. Some humans are trying to resist and the story makes it hard to figure out what is going on for the longest part. We know that something is happening, but who is on whose side remains a mystery until the very, very end.
Disappointing special FX for a film involving ET's and although filled with suspense the film fails to deliver on entertainment.
