Stuart Barr’s review:
Pitiful alien invasion movie set in Moscow. This is one of those films were we should thank our lucky stars there were some irritation young American tourists around to save the day. The film is unimaginative and makes an at least half decent budget look cheap (contrast the post invasion Moscow here with 28 Days Later's London, it isn't remotely as convincing). The worst offender is the film's atrocious script which is just painful to listen to.
It closes with one of those irritating open ended denouements that sets up a franchise. I wouldn't get your hopes up boys.
