Ageism of Tom Orrow

Okay, I get that this movie is trying to riff off Edge, but the plot isn't even vaguely approximating that. No, they rip off whole other movies. [No, this isn't a Film Society movie, this is the Asylum!]

As asteroid is heading towards Earth, so some people are sent up to destroy it. Then it turns out that the asteroid is an alien space ship, and lots of alien craft are now roaming over Earth picking up people for their own devices. Which involves teleporting them back to their own planet because... actually, I have no idea why. The earthers stage a come back, but there is a ton of death, and everything looks hopeless...

The hero is a chap named Chris. Well, there goes taking that seriously. He is a fireman, he has an axe, and fortunately the aliens have one weakness, a wooden stick with a triangular piece of metal on top (which stays clean no matter how many bodies it cuts into!). The other hero is Captain James Hardass, who is so Hardass, he kills a woman who can't live any more because she is without her kids... (but it's all right, because you can still see her breathing at the end of the scene). Oh, and the futuristic high tech alien space ship is decorated with silly string...

Yeah, this is pants in all kinds of bad ways. The poster for this looks like it could involve mutating humans or something, but that's just another lie. As if you need to be told this, avoid avoid avoid....
