After sitting through Shark Exorcist, it would be hard to
imagine finding something that would make that movie even more appealing. Fortunately,
I did and can say I found something to take my mind off it. Next up for review
is the no budget Sci-Fi cheesefest, Independence Wars: Insurgence (AKA Interstellar
Wars).
Plot/ Beyond the dark side of the moon, an ancient portal
opens, bringing the return of a ruthless alien species to the ill-prepared
planet Earth. The aliens attack with devastating destruction, bringing society
quickly to its knees.
There are times where I expect to see a train wreck, and
that is exactly what I got when I picked this one up at Family Video. As soon
as I saw the box, I knew this would be a no-budget knock off the Independence
Day franchise, but what I did not expect was how they would twist it into
something filled with cliché and ludicrous moments that tried to emulate almost
the entire original on multiple levels. Honestly, there were many times I could
do nothing but say WOW. The performances trend from bad to worse, the scripting
is all over, and the storyline is a mash-up of any idea that was already seen
on the screen. Plus, throw in the abduction/zombie outbreak connection and you
have a head scratcher for the ages. Yes, there was a touch of humor, but even
that I believe was unintentional. In the end, this one clearly sets out to
capitalize on the Independence Day wave and offers very little to the viewer.
Stay Away!
