My main criticism is that it is too ambitious for such a tiny budget. The acting was not at all bad though.
With a budget of $20 million instead of $200K, with the same actors and a lot more extras, but much improved effects, Liz could have made a block buster from this.
On this budget, I try to view it as a stage play and then it is a lot better. Someone should put more serious money behind this director / writer and she should probably focus on more psychological science fiction.
Another possibility would be for Liz to work on well crafted science fiction shorts but in any case, I think she should have another go with the same cast who have now worked together.
