What did I just watch?

Rating: 5/10 (30 January 2003)

I thought that this story had some serious potential, but when I watched it I soon learned that I was sadly mistaken. The whole alien thing was not explained well at all and there was virtually no chance for character introduction and development (because of the lack of them). I knew what the aliens were doing, but never actually saw anything, so the "impact" of the situation was extremely dulled (for me). I did, however, give the film a 5.0 and I will tell you why. I liked how they did the flashbacks to the accident, therefore explaining two of the seven main characters in the film. Anyone could have done this film and easily substituted the aliens with something else. I felt that the aliens served little purpose in this film.
