Trivia:
One major reason for the film's long delay is that the original production company went bankrupt during post-production, and there simply wasn't money to finish the film. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Travis is walking along the street with Jen, the traffic is zipping by to the left of them, but a close up on Travis shows no traffic activity in the glass of the building next to them. moreQuotes:
Ted Eckles: You sure we should be doing this?Christian Middleton: There's a six-year waiting list. We paid doulbe to cut to the head of the line, and you want to slink home? You gonna spend the rest of your life with balls the size of BBs?
Ted Eckles: What the hell.
Christian Middleton: They're so big I can hear them clanging.

I live for movies like this.
Saw it in a theater with about 12 other people. 3 people left about 20 minutes in. I'm not sure if they left because the movie was so bad or because they couldn't hear the dialogue over the laughter of the rest of us.
Mediocre special effects don't excite me. Abysmally bad special effects are wonderful. I disagree with the previous commenter -- I don't think the actors were walking on a treadmill in front of the green screen, I think they were just standing in place and shifting their weight from one foot to the other.
Sir Ben Kingsley is clearly aware of the "quality" of this film and embraces the ridiculousness, having a great time reading his absurd lines.
The plot, the dialogue, the special effects, the creatures, the actor's accents -- each piece of this movie is worse than the last. There were at least three scenes that made me laugh so hard I cried.
I love dumpster-diving through bad movies in search of treasure. The recent crop of bad movies have been just plain boring. This one is the diamond that makes it all worthwhile.
