Wow. I agree with the above review 100%. Sci-Fi needs to try and hire some decent directors. Think about it, even with the small budget these films probably have, a good director could make all the difference. I would watch a well directed movie even if the special effects were done on someone's home computer! And although I'm no film student or movie maker, I do notice things in movies that are cheaply made in contrast to those which are made with a large budget. Lighting: In a cheap movie, the lighting is uniform in every single scene! In this movie, they were in a cave for a long time, but with the lighting, it was too obvious it was a set. If they'd just made it darker, we could have suspended our disbelief a little bit. Sound: Most major motion pictures use some stereo to mix it up a bit. However, all these cheap movies appear to have everything in mono, so it's hard to hear actors vs. sound effects. Acting: I know it's damn hard to find actors who can do a good job, but give me a break. It seems that Sci-fi always goes to find the old has- been actors to do these movies. Guess what? These people are has-beens because they weren't any good to start with!!!! Here's a tip: go find some fresh-out-of-acting school actors, and give them a shot. It has GOT to be better than what we see in these movies! Fuce! I could out act the fools in those movies!
