I doubt I will find a worse made film that manages to be so genuinely (by which I mean not ironically) enjoyable. The acting is horrendous, the technical aspects of the film are dodgy at the best of times, and the ending is ludicrous. But it is SO compelling. The sci-fi geek in me loves every second of the preposterous, strange and wholly captivating plot, so much so that I somewhat overlook the (many!) flaws.

This film is more like a stage play which consists of basically dialogues for the entire run time. A good narrative with engaging insightful dialogues although at some point it came out as a little bit over the top. However, the cinematography was a bit off-putting, it felt like a cheesy TV show. Well, it's a weak show technically but with interesting premise.
