OK, so an alien satellite arrives in orbit and before we know it the US Government is in paroxysm, conspiracies abound and - well this film degenerates into a shockingly bad collection of set-piece scenarios that would have scared any sentient beings away immediately. There is no need to single out any of the on screen "talent" for any mentions in dispatches, for they are all equally at home with the terrible script, the risible effects and and a plot that could well have been a script-reject from the "Outer Limits" some seventy years earlier. Pity, in better hands - across the board - the story might have had some better traction, but as it is, it is really pretty poor.
