Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated (2009)
Don't waste your time.
This was a poorly conceived project. Too much of this film looks like it was created by a 5 year old. I've never seen anything as crudely produced as this. Very little of it is actually animated, in the traditional sense. A lot of it looks rushed, as though they were in a hurry to fill-in unfinished portions. With some scenes, original footage was processed with various filters as a low-budget cheat. The visual style changes quickly and abruptly throughout. The worst part of it is, the suspense and atmosphere of the original has been degraded into a laughably bad imitation. You have been warned. Avoid this version like the plague.
The Outer Limits: Trial by Fire (1996)
Terrific episode, but not without flaws.
I love the basic premise of this story. A newly elected president is faced with a global crisis, when an extraterrestrial presence enters our solar system, headed for Earth. The discussion and conjecture among the President's advisors is well written and performed, but the actions of the aliens juxtaposed with the story's resolution makes no sense. Before arriving, the aliens strike the moon with enough force to alter its orbit and render the surface molten. Then the aliens 'accidentally' destroy our satellites, in an attempt to communicate with us. The aliens are either the clumsiest ambassadors ever conceived, or they are here to conquer Earth. The story concludes with the premise that the human race is destroyed, because we tried to defend ourselves when we felt threatened. Any 'moral' that the story is trying to convey, is overshadowed by the apparent stupidity of both the humans and the aliens. The humans cannot possibly hope to fight against such advanced technology and the aliens would not destroy us, if they came to communicate and make friends. The episode is great, right up to the conclusion, which is seriously flawed and illogical. The ending narration should have posed a question, rather than making a definitive judgement against the human race.
