The roombla.com review for this film hit it on the head - it's an ambitious, at times visually interesting effort that is like an occasionally tasty ghoulash of tried and true SciFi tropes and themes. Not always a bad thing as a superb film like Serenity proves, but here, despite good performances and fairly capable writing, is somehow not quite enough to lift this effort to "great" status.
The technicals are all competently done with some generally interesting visuals. The acting is non-cringeworthy and played straight. Worth a view for fans of the genre. I will also say that I would indeed be interested to watch other efforts from the creative team behind this one.
A solid 6...check it out if you enjoy this stuff.

Competent, above average indie SciFi...Not a waste of time but...
Low budget, big dreams
For some this may have bitten more than it can chew. Having said that, I don't think it's a bad thing to dream big rather than to settle on something small from the beginning. The ending is a bit ... well ominous, but then I have no idea how this fairs to the book(s) this is obviously based on.
It has some quality actors in it too and the action and set pieces are very well thought of. Still this will not become a Science Fiction classic as far as I can tell. But it is a decent effort and has some very interesting ideas ... also the makeup and other practical effects are really well done.
People don't change. Only their version of the past
Kane (Daniel MacPherson) is a military pilot working for Excor a colonizer of planets. Excor has created beings that are adaptable and can clear out the indigenous population of planets. Things go wrong at the prison labor camp where the creatures are created and Kane is on a mission to save his daughter (Teagan Croft) who lives in the capital city.
The story was interesting, if the main characters were not. The dialogue really wasn't bad, it just lacked delivery, i.e. the acting and directing were poor. The creatures looked like something out of "The Dark Crystal." The movie is divided up into chapters, why I don't know. It also has some narration and flashbacks on characters. After watching Kellan Lutz on screen, the awkwardly introduce him at the end of the film with a flashback. It needed an editor.
