"So full of stock types and clichés it makes The Breakfast Club look like Nashville." - Calum Marsh

Passes the time.

It would have been more entertaining if they focused on the stoner's story.

A great setup that is consistently misused focusing on teenage love and banal life philosophy instead of the actual war. All of the characters are as clicheed as they are unbelievable, and we learn absolutely nothing about the war, its purpose or its perpetrators. I'm not quite sure what the producers were aiming for...?

Naff.

Not an unlikable film and loaded with potential. I'm not sure what the plan is with this one, it feels like a pilot more than a feature and its definitely aimed at a demographic that I don't fit into. : ) Turn this into a weekly serial on the WB and you're good to go.

piss poor and absolutely absurd.

Surprisingly, a little cracker of a movie: funny, well characterised and with some decent action. Has a couple of clumsy moments (the swing set!) to drag my rating down.

Better than I expected. There is some poor acting and a couple lame plot developments. At the same time, does some character/story outcomes right and has enough entertaining scenes to keep you interested. Its a bit cheesy but hell I'll probably hit up the cinemas for the sequel.

Definitely not what i was expecting pretty good film overall might have to take a look at the book series.

Really only works as a setup for sequels. Plot doesn't make sense, dialog is sloppily written, etc. As a stand alone film it leaves much to be desired, but the effects are pretty much spectacular, the characters are likable (more through the charming actors than anything), and it kinda grows on you. By the end of it you find yourself thinking "hey, this is OK, I wonder where they're going with this" and then you realize "oh, it's just one big sequel setup". And I think I might enjoy that sequel.

Better than Red Dawn, nice characters and nice action setpieces. Not great but very entertaining movie. Bring on the sequels!

Pretty decent film, would have been an even better one if it didnt waste so much time on teenage romances.

Australian version of Red Dawn. The ending here is badly made and although we'll probably see sequel to it, I'm not looking foward to it.
