One of my top 20 science fiction films. The story is great! Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Crouse scream in this film. Color, sound is great. Yes, I would highly recommend this movie.

What you'd expect in a sci-fi thriller, but the whole conspiracy aspect is intriguing.

Sheeny's a bit special in this. Armed only with a beard he saves Earth from an alien invasion. He plays a scientist, so the beard is there to make him look more serious instead of his usual manic self. This doesn't work. Playing opposite him in every sense is Ron Silver, as smooth as Charlie is ragged. The story, alien manipulated global warming, moves right along. It only gets bogged down when our hero is trapped in an underground cavern that looks like an alien take on London's Tate Modern. It's actually quite fun.

Another basic sci-fi horror film - the only memorable thing about this film is those backward bird legs the aliens have - now that was just creepy. Charlie Sheen, though, should stick to comedy.

I haven't seen this movie in a long time, but I used to love this film. Sure the acting isn't great and the story is a bit far-fetched, but it is at least original. Any movie where there is shape shifting aliens who reside amongst humans, even running the government, is a cool story to me. It isn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
