Yes, some reviewers will agree with this observation. But this is not that bad a movie. Remember these are "low budget" films, do not expect Alien, Blade Runner, or 2001 Space Odyssey to be produced here.
Do not expect clever dialog as in Front Page, Treasure of Sierra Madre, Casablanca and others.
What you can expect is an entertaining flick about some sort of monster, hybrid monster or extra terrestrial monster with CGI, minimum dialog, hero flubs (like sudden inability to shoot straight to get the evil bureaucrat), chases, cute buxom (in this case flat chested)babes being chased by said monster. It is a predictable beef stew with the same ingredients but we usually enjoy it for lunch anyway.
The actors are above average as the main characters are played by good TV actors: Nicholas Brendon, Sandrine Holt and Randolph Mantooth, and they really keep the movie going and keep it from stalling out.
Plot: a "fireball" leaves the sun on it's own initiative to reek havoc on poor earthlings. And it does so by killing a firefighter sidekick, only to resurrect itself some 40 years later. The "fireball" "chases" and explodes victims into their own fireball.
Written by Bill Shatner of "Priceline" fame, it follows a generic voyage through the stars. But, I enjoyed the acting, the reporters cut in half, and unsuspecting innocents bursting into flame, the ubiquitous evil bureaucrat, baffled military personnel, and fire fighting heroes.
