Sean Pertwee on the other hand has a number of good roles in high profile films behind him, so to see him essentially reprising his crazy act from the doomed TALOS THE MUMMY (Russell Mulcahy, 1998) in a couple of short scenes in a film this poor is somewhat depressing. Sean Brosnan is the film's lead and fares pretty well as he's essentially still unknown. The context for the fight is not well established so it's hard to care about what's happening. Martial artist Joey Ansah appears in a small role and fans won't be surprised that he gets to have a pretty cool fight scene, but when it happens it seems like things have shifted gears too quickly. When the characters do take some action and the director throws some physical conflict into the mix it all gets confusing rather than exciting. The focus is often on the crumbling of society rather than the aggressive actions of aliens but it's not involving. But even after a huge spaceships appears, a lot of the film just involves spending time with an unappealing ensemble of characters talking about the situation and other things and not actually doing anything interesting. In this case the chaos of an alien invasion. This is one of those films about a bunch of ordinary people who find themselves amid extraordinary circumstances. Extremely derivative (there's a sense of déjà vu about each scene – right up to the closing moments), it takes forever to get going but then can't quite decide on a direction. There are also irritating insert shots that attempt to foreshadow the terrible things to come. The camera swings and sways and pans round and round but it doesn't make the scenes anymore interesting. Scene after scene is overlong (including a gratuitous sex scene) and too often the film is stylistically indulgent. The opening credits run over a long sequence in a nightclub which is interminable. A string of scenes that fail to engage and just go on for ages. The problems are clear right from the start. Sharing more in common with the all mouth and no trousers sci-fi "mockbusters" made by prolific schlock peddlers The Asylum than Gareth Edwards' similar but superior MONSTERS (2010), Dominic Burns' film makes all the wrong moves. I was excited and I guess a feeling of disappointment was inevitable. Sounds like a real feast for exploitation movie fans. Two Seans, Brosnan (who looks and sounds quite a bit like his father Pierce) and Pertwee (son of Jon), share the screen with one of Jean- Claude Van Damme offspring and several unknowns, plus there are spaceships and fight scenes. (not to be confused with the long forgotten Roy Chubby Brown vehicle from 1993) were high. Starring the offspring of iconic actors and boasting an appealing poster and a decent trailer, my expectations for the low budget British movie U.F.O. Be warned this film is not even good enough to be described as 'rubbish' it is some kind of sub genre even worse. Be very wary of the positive reviews here. 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. 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. 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. The British Army turn up in the form of two blokes with a bazooka and seemingly wearing trainers. Suddenly a really bad model of something rejected by Star Wars appears in the sky over some Yorkshire town and everybody goes mental. 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.
