        This science-fiction fantasy takes place in a far off future, when the Earth is embroiled in worldwide war and a distant planet is colonized to provide a peaceful refuge for Earth's denizens. Eventually, the original two colonies develop into large and prosperous cities while maintaining the peace that was the impetus for their creation. However, eventually the two great cities succumb to the squabbling their forbears did and engage each other in a war every bit as destructive as the one that took place on Earth hundreds of years before. In danger of wiping out the population of the planet, the only remaining warriors on each side, essentially a group of teenagers, must find a way to produce peace before they annihilate one another.

Like all other low budget sci-fi flicks, this one also fell apart despite having an interesting plot. The set designing was okay, so was the costumes, equipments etc. But where this one lagged behind is the cinematography with special effects. An air of childish simplicity is revealed on this occasion. Everyone expects mature and massive use of special effects in a sci-fi war movie like this; but evidently due to low budget and less actors somehow you'll feel uneasy about the lack of completeness while watching. The background music also seemed insufficient.

But the producers and directors did everything else perfectly to make it worth watching. The story is quite interesting. They did everything necessary to create a wave of tension throughout. The screenplay is not that bad. Justin Whalin (Dungeons & Dragons) did not disappoint me. You do not expect much from the other actors in a movie like this and I'll say they did their part well. The locations were good chosen etc and etc.

So this is one movie which should become quite an eye-opener for new movie makers. If you don't have money, don't venture to make a sci-fi one.
