Here we have a reasonable alien invasion/creature feature plot, with amusing allusions to super market tabloids, replete with accomplished players. The CGI is pretty hokey and the science a little outré -- well, can't really complain about that; it is *science* fiction (emphasis on the fiction). There is an acceptable love story; a massive conspiracy; really bad, bad guys -- well, the BEM (that's Bug-Eyed-Monster for you newbies) is, as I said, pretty hokey.
I liked the movie. I liked the cast; Bellows is an old acquaintance from "The Agency" as is Miss Rossellini from "Alias." Mr. Schaap makes a consummate villain and Maxim Roy is another of those ubiquitous, lovely Canadians. Judd Nelson again plays like he's stoned. Has he been spending too much time with Robert Downey, Jr.? Is that why they look so much alike?
