not a terrible movie . but there be monster scene where you will be roll on the floor laugh not a good thing for a action or thriller . the acting be generally pretty decent for a scifi channel movie . barry corbin play a credible u senator and and lou diamond phillips again give u a decent military or police or sheriff or agent or marshal figure . the special effect be well and special for example and the external train shot be very obviously a model train . goofs represent a meteor strike a stationary car in the opening scene . the car burst into flame but do not budge an inch . after the impact and the meteor be lodge in the top of the car hood impossible from the low angle that the meteor come in at . spoiler . a good portion of the movie event be predictable and from the helicopter crash ( pull up and pull up . ) and to the fact that the annoy people get it in the end and to the classic blown bridge over a 1000 foot gorge await the train and to the sequel set up at the end . the scene show the alien attack be hilarious . they be vicious cute puppet and move at lighten speed remember the monty python rabbit . spoiler goof represent in one scene four people shoot clip after clip can not hit a single creature because they move at lightning speed . later in the movie todd bridge rig up a mini flame thrower which he use to dispatch a number of creature at close range . on several occasion and lou diamond phillips be able to easily grab creature with his bare hand .
