People expected a lot more from the support cast and Barry Pepper doesn't have the screen presence to role. He's a sexless, emotionless figure and so is his love interest int he film - who everyone takes orders from late in the film apparently because she is Barry Pepper's squeeze.
It's a Scientology film starring one of Hollywood's big scientologist actors.
It has Ray Bradbury Theatre level effects and sub-Ray Bradbury story/dialogue. Basically expect some perfectly adequate effects for television but ofr a blockbuster sci-fi (which this, despite its aspiration NEVER was) don't get your hopes up.
The plot holes are legion, but the narrative keeps moving along at a steady pace. The final battle is fairly trite with some of the worst models/effects effects giving the film the aesthetic quality of a 1970's disaster movie.
*IF* you can make it past these glaring flaws and enjoy *CHEESE* and silly science fiction this film definitely has the ability to provide a great deal of pleasure.
Travolta is as good as Travolta ever was... Forest Whittaker is walking, or limping, through his performance but still provides a good deal of comic relief. The heavily shoed Psychlos are quite delicious as they back stab and torture each other mercilessly.
