"A more apt title would be 'beyond genre changes' as the plot whips through different styles of film that all could have easily been fleshed out into one solid story and mood rather than flitting between like an anthology.
The film starts off as a frantic survivor film with shades of Cloverfield rubbed into the frames, then classic b-movie sci-fi on the alien ship, the set design and costume actually rather good. Finally comes the martial arts action half after a ludicrous crash scene complete with secret drug smuggler tunnels, fist fights with aliens and guns aplenty.
It's all rather ridiculous, but you cannot help but continue the ride, wondering just what might happen next"
