Stay away!


The movies no sense and is quite bad.

They ruined what could of been a good sequel.

I could write the script in one night it was so horrible.

Why did they take so long in saying she was his daughter? You knew from the beginning she was. They never used this though.

How does a screamer get on the ship? Chewed a hole in the ship? Great so why didn't it have a hole when they went into space. It was commented that there was a screamer war going on. Great, sure. Um I don't see that going on though.

They are sentient and have a huge fuel source to mine. But they just do nothing?


There are so many gaping plot holes to even bother with.

Acting was so so. Effects were crap. Plot was transparent. Writing was amateur.

You know what? Honestly, I'm getting fed up of listening to (or reading) people complaining about the shortcomings they see in movies. I could comment on each of your points, if I wanted to spend the time.

For example, I could say: You could write the script in one night? You can't even write a proper criticism--it's "could HAVE", not "could OF" for one. There are many other grammatical screw-ups you've made that prove that you probably can't write ANYTHING, let alone a script.

Second of all, what is your basis of comparison? Do you see many movies of this genre being much better than what we saw in this? I sure don't. And as for it not making any sense--have you considered that you have no imagination? It's Science-Fiction, it's meant to inspire thought of what CAN be, and the suspension of disbelief in things being any way other than what they are. In other (simpler) words, the movie makes perfect sense if you TRY to get it. You think there are holes in the plot, FINE--they exist in just about ALL movies. Use your imagination to fill them in, like I did. It's not hard.


I could spend more time writing more, but as far as I'm concerned, it's really not worth the time. If you think the writing of this movie was ameteur, then go write one of your own that you can enjoy, and do that instead of posting your condescending drivel here.

Lighten up mate, your fed up with listening to someone complaining about a films shortcomings on a film site dedicated to commenting about movies, its the whole point of the talkback on this site, you make your opinion known to others then discuss.This person is entitled to their opinion as much as you do yours, you don't have to agree with him but you don't have to be rude and even more condesending than you accuse him of being.Oh and whats with the grammer police thing, he's just an average joe not a journalist so lay of his grammer, I can be just like you if you want, why are using capitals in mid sentence ARE YOU SHOUTING or just using bad grammer.
As for the movie I agree it was badly acted, predictable plot, the characters were annoying at best apart from Henrikson who was wasted as a character (about 10 mins screen time in a hour and a half movie - paycheck anyone) and an ending I could see a mile away.The only saving grace were the reasonably good make-up effects considering the obvious low budget.True you have to use your imagination in a sci-fi movie but when the writers of the script haven't bothered then how can they expect their audience to do the same.

When there is no more room in Hell, remakes will walk the earth!

You don't have to be a chef yourself to know when the food's no good. I like this movie okay for what it is, but other people are allowed not to.

Remember the noise, when Sataquest (?) was fixing the ship, it was the bit before he got killed, it sounded like a saw.

They are sentient and have a huge fuel source to mine. But they just do nothing?

There is a system, that makes them shut down after so long, thou the factory full of Screamers getting reactivated, doesnt make much sense.

Where was the point about why, or how, that two members of the crew sent to investigate the SOS signal were screamers, and how one wanted the algorithms, that were stored on a Screamers hard disc.

Also that the design of the screamer changed, more gore, no anti-radiation cigarettes (you have to smoke that *beep* so that *beep* doesnt effect you?).

The humanoid screamer, had become a hybrid, instead of a machine, there was a scene which some stated implants, but it was a exoskeleton, covered in living tissue.

Or what about Romulo, and how quickly he got killed after giving his screamer thingy to Rafe?

But still could you write something better, if you believe so, write something, and hope it doesnt get changed.

These people are supposed to be Alliance Military, yes? Why is it they act like little girls?

Opening fire on a rescue mission without orders is a serious offense. Questioning the orders of a superior. Freaking out from a bit of blood. Losing their equipment left and right. Drooling constantly over the female squadmembers. Humping the civilians at the drop of a hat. Wandering away from the platoon on own initative. My god, where does it end?

What lit up the factory? That mouse? Or the teeny charge he used to get at the screamer operating system..

And what was powering that forcefield, did they say? A CAPACITOR!? A capacitor can not RUN anything by itself, therefore what they sabotage would have to be a massive fuel cell. Which looked pretty much transportable to me, and should also hold more power than a cell the size of a deodorant can.

Lance's character is one of the most random characters I have seen since those people who shout "Is it a bird, is it a plane" whenever Superman flies by.

And, yes, if a screamer dug into the ship they would have a hell of a problem when they hit vacuum.
And did those civilian scouts have TABs? Or were they keeping all those Screamers at bay with their arrows?

As for the ending GAG... I do believe I saw that in one of those Cyborg movies. It was the stupidest thing ever then, and is just as stupid now.

sigh.. This is damn close Boll's level, and as such; a completely pathetic and meaningless waste of time and limited budgets.

Well said, AnimalMother84. This movie was just a desperate pile of unrealistic acting and flawed motives.

The first thing that had me scratching my head is why a distress signal was being sent out several years after survivors are stuck on Sirius 6B. Secondly, the cast was seriously stupid. Why did Romulo give away the device that was keeping him hidden from the screamers to a man who lost his? What did Romulo think he was, superman? Then he died in the next thirty seconds. Yeah, didn't see that one coming.

Then it was quite obvious that Guy was a screamer. I was just waiting for it to be discovered. One of the posters here said that Victoria fell for him pretty fast. That is true, but more importantly Tory is supposed to be a 'professional' and this is a rescue operation and things have gone to *beep* is she taking the time out to screw.

Another thing: Why didn't the cave dwellers warn the soldiers not to unleash the captive screamers. Hello, that would be the first thing on my 'to do list' and then no one notices when Victoria wonders off to take a look at the malformed sickly looking humans (cuz yeah I'd want to eat those zombie mofos), returns to gather some of her men to take a looksy, and then trots back off to the holding cell of the screamers. A guy mentioned that there is always someone awake acting as look out for the screamers, so,why no guard in the prison cell?

After a slew of deaths and reincarnations Guy and Victoria reach the ship, totally unconcerned that there might be a screamer aboard until they meet the 'undead' Madden.

Bad decisions all around, and the baby with the spike/knife thingamajig coming out of its hand was tacky. What's he gonna do cut his umbilical cord?

For that matter, why don't they have extra tabs anyway? Pretty stupid to take just one per person and no spares.
