Although it was a low budget film, it had a great concept and reminded me of some oldies but goodies that I re-watch occasionally (Genesis II, Planet Earth, Damnation Alley, Ultimate Warrior etc). The casting was pretty good and there was some real chemistry between the actors. Special effects are about what you expect from the low budget but did not distract from the film. The folks that really disliked it probably are not big fans of the low budget "B" sci-fi type films and may like the big budget blockbuster flicks at the theater that have the backing for better scripts and effects. I am glad that I had the chance to tape it from a TV broadcast. Hopefully, it was not edited too much. I am having a friend dub it on to a DVD for me so it will keep it's quality in my library and not deteriorate. Any "B" sci-fi fans out there will enjoy watching this. I would have really liked to see it released as a series, just to see where the writers wanted to go with the basic idea.
