this be fairly typical for the sci fi channel represent one dimensional character and a ridiculous plot and and terrible special effect . we have get some alien sock puppet loose on a train and and lou diamond phillips do his best with what little he give to eke out a performance . and save the day . everyone else in this be utterly dispensable while the ex wife who go through the time honor cliché of first dislike lou and then of course come to love him again at the end . the obnoxious state senator who get munch early on and and a gaggle of dull security guard who run around a lot . then there an eco terrorist who be in this movie for absolutely no reason whatsoever and except to provide u with 3 % more running around . he spend the whole middle part of the movie hiding in a box . the special effect really deserve their own paragraph . we start with a meteorite that fly through the air and trail flame behind it and at about 100 mile per hour . accord to the physic of this movie and if you exceed the posted speed limit in your car and atmospheric friction may cause you to burst into flame . then it land on the hood of a car and come in horizontally . sort of like a velcro ball land on a velcro floor i guess . it really doesn not damage the car much and just bend up the hood a little bit . later on lou get in a helicopter and go chase after the train . even though the train only have a two minute head start and it take a good half hour to catch it . the cgi be so bad that the helicopter look like it as big a the hill it fly over . then it fly into the side of a mountain this effect must be see to be believe . it look like they take a jar of gasoline and throw it against a wall and then superimpose the flame effect over the helicopter . about 10 time too big . no wonder the helicopter couldn not pull up in time and it be carry five ton of nitro glycerine . then the eco terrorist eventually blow himself up and but instead of explode in all direction like most explosion do and he explode upwards like a cannon aim into the air . then there the whole deal with not be able to stop the train because that would allow the little alien to get off and but it appear that the alien can actually fly fast than the train be travel and so why this would keep them on the train i have no idea . overall and if you have get a couple of hour that absolutely need kill and and it down to this movie or rerun on the food network and well and come to think of it and some of those chef be kind of cute . usually these movie have at least one or two thing about them that make it possible to sit through them while maybe there a sexy girl and some t and a and or a character that actually have some personality and or some suspense or and well and something . i really do not see any of that here .
