The first half hour is a turgid introduction to a bunch of people who will try to survive the British Independence Day. Unfortunately after this first half hour you will be so bored out of your skull you won't really care who dies or how.

About half way through the lights have gone out and Sean Pertwee appears as a crazy tramp type person who babbles some unfathomable pseudo religious drivel to the hero of the film and turns out to be the smartest person in the whole sorry mess.

Suddenly a really bad model of something rejected by Star Wars appears in the sky over some Yorkshire town and everybody goes mental. The British Army turn up in the form of two blokes with a bazooka and seemingly wearing trainers. Then we end up at JCVD's house and find out aliens are amongst us then we have a bit of kick boxing and then I think the aliens win.

With a script so threadbare it is almost invisible, acting talent that would not trouble an amoeba and special effects even Blue Peter would blush at this codswallop retails at 10 pound in my local shop.

It's about time there was a law against this tripe even being made let alone allowed to be placed on a shelf in a shop. Be very wary of the positive reviews here. Be warned this film is not even good enough to be described as 'rubbish' it is some kind of sub genre even worse.

It is a mystery how casting managed to recruit some excellent actors to perform in this steaming heap...

Of the entire garbage we see about 5 - 10 minutes of JCVD so that is pretty much a cameo and not a starring role, the same with Sean Pertwee so how did they get talked into performing in this pointless tripe? It seems at times that only 20 minutes of film was produced as the same clips are shown at least twice and the editor just chopped out random pieces and copy pasted them randomly through the film..

If the continual moving camera was meant to add an edginess to this garbage I have to say it failed abysmally and in fact at times looked more like the cameraman was so blind drunk that someone had to continually keep pushing him upright as in his drunken stupor you can see he is continually falling sideways...

To The Idiot that wrote this steaming pile I would like to point out that whatever EMP can knock out the National Grid will also knock out vehicles and mobile phones so when we see people driving around in cars / vans / military vehicles your whole premise of an alien EMP knocking out electrics makes no sense and for crying out loud don't show someone watching video footage taken on a mobile phone because they too would be fried...

To the movie industry, is it any wonder that file sharing is alive and well when you expect people to part with their hard earned cash for garbage like this? As for the ending.....POINTLESS

Admittedly I wasn't expecting a huge amount, but seeing as the idea was intriguing and had the ingredients for a fun movie if done right I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. While U.F.O is not the worst movie I've ever seen or one of them, it is one of the absolute worst I've seen this year. If you are wondering whether it is as bad as people are saying, in my mind yes it really is that bad. The whole movie looks as though it was made and edited in a rush, like a matter of days, it is dully lit, the editing is haphazard and unsteady to the point you feel nauseous and the effects look as though the makers had exceeded the time constraint and had to bring forward what they'd managed to do regardless of what they looked like. The music is so overbearing to the point I got a bad headache watching and listening to it, for somebody who has epilepsy it wasn't a good feeling. The dialogue is utter gibberish, it tries to come across as more intelligent than it actually is, almost like an attempted Shakespearean-like grandeur, but it is so stilted to the point it was difficult to get your head round what you were hearing, some of it even sounded improvised on the spot. The story is derivative and dull with nothing suspenseful, involving or thrilling, there's a lot of overlong filler that has little to no point or meaning and it tries to be too many things all at once and delivers it all in awkwardly done tone-shifts. The dramatic "poignant" moments were so mawkish that it'll make anyone want to vomit, some of it would be at home in a badly written soap-opera. You don't care for any of the stereotypical and underdeveloped characters, I usually try to restrain having violent thoughts against movie characters but I admit that I came THIS close to wanting to strangle Carrie. The acting is terrible too, Sean Brosnan lacks charisma and struggles with a character that has been done to death(much better too) and is often senseless, Bianca Bree is supremely irritating and Jean Claude Van Damme is pretty much wasted. Overall, in every sense U.F.O was a terrible movie and one that is best avoided. 1/10 Bethany Cox
