This movie is hot garbage. The CGI is both dodgy and terrible, even for 2001, the acting is laughable, and it’s all built around a story that isn’t even a good idea in theory. There’s no heart to it, like everyone involved doesn’t want to be making the movie. Could be a good contender for Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Closest comparison: It’s like The Asylum production company’s attempt at an Alien or Arrival type movie.
Setting: Adventure
Plot: Sci-Fi
