Not a great movie, but a decent time-filler, 20 October 2001
7/10

I wouldn't buy this movie; it simply isn't worth the money. However, if you're a fan of the actor or the genre, or have a penchant for cheesy movies, check it out when it comes on Sci-Fi.

The overall premise of the movie is bad, but it is poorly executed. In particular, the young boy saying "Eleven" all the time makes little sense. I assume he's supposed to be another hybrid, but then why don't the aliens want him? Too young?

BTW, I would be extremely gratified if someone could tell me the name of the theme song. It's running rampant through my head, and it won't settle down till I give it a name. :)
