What A Git

A friend of mine recently gave me the DVD, I remember I remember seeing some of it as a kid on TV. The basic premiss for the show was friendly aliens (friendly my ass) visiting earth in a bid to acquire much needed chemicals for their own world and in return they would share technology, like iPods and such. It goes a bit deeper but I don’t want to give away to much.

The DVD consists of 2 episodes roughly 2 hours in length (later to be developed into 2 more episodes and then a full series, and possibly a new series is in development). In the lead role is Marc Singer, he does a pretty good job as a war reporter who goes on the run after witnessing the true motives of the alien “friends” and eventually joins up with resistance fighters.

For a show made in 1983 it looks good, they pull of the special effects pretty well, the laser guns and alien ships look realistic enough. But what I like is the story I was really drawn into the characters and actually cared about what happened to them.

If your into Sc-Fi and enjoy a good tale humanity and survival pick this up… Oh and if you like hot alien chicks.

Rating 8 shamrocks outta 10:
