One man's religious struggle set against the backdrop of an alien invasion

Rating: 1/10 (8 September 2002)

This is one of the most terrible pieces of cinema that I have ever seen - and I have seen some shockers! It contains glaring continuity flaws, implausible plot developments, insubstantial and contradictory characters and virtually no plot. The alien invasion story is padded out with a (truly horrifying) back-history about the main character (Mel Gibson)'s wife - disappointing for sci-fi fans. The director offers virtually no information on the alien race, and what is offered seems absurdly naive. This movie isn't worth watching even for the sometimes humourous plot improbabilities - its the kind of film that sucks your sense of humour out of you!
