646f9e108c In the end of the Paracles Mission, an expedition to the moon to explore minerals promoted by the space agency, the commander William Phillips is somehow infected and sent to the Colonial Hospital. A couple of years later, a series of weird accidents happen in San Francisco: the archaeologist Lloyd Walker sees his dig collapsing with his assistant Jonathan and the Commissioner Korshaft sealing his site without searching the body of Jonathan; Oliver, the supervisor of a homeless shelter, finds that the birds have disappeared from the local park due to a weird noise in the underground; and the Bulgarian Bella is seeking her missing husband with her brother-in-law Nick. Meanwhile, the entomologist Marianne, who worksexterminator to finance her PHD, is invited to work for the City Hall; the salesman Spence has problem to receive his unemployment paycheck. Walker befriends the assistant of the Mayor Liz Quinlan, who advises him to meet the ombudsman in the Room 86. However, the journalist Jake Roth tells Walker that his partner has vanished after visiting the mysterious Room 86. When Walker arrives in Room 86 for the meeting with the ombudsman, he finds Marianne, Oliver, Spence, Bella and Nick in the waiting room with identical recommendation cards. Further, he notes that nobody leaves the room of the ombudsman. He advises Marianne that he would go inside alone and that he is armed, but she believes he is paranoid with a Theory of Conspiracy. However, when Walker enters the place, he discovers the dark secret of the City Hall. Lloyd Walker is an anti-heroic archaeologist who, after stumbling upon an alien conspiracy, becomes enmeshed in an against-all-odds battle to save the human race. From the enigmatic Room 86 to the doomed Pericles space mission, Walker puzzles together clues to reveal the dark purpose behind strange events occurring around San Francisco. Now, the &quot;keeper of dead civilizations&quot; must rescue mankind from slavery at the hands of some very big, very terrifying insect-aliens… This is a simple, low budget(looks so!) movie of aliens on earth. <br/><br/>I wish the pace of the movie could have been more fast and lot more engaging but still, it gives an interesting take on man&#39;s predicamentthe aliens begin to take over. Quite different from the usual Hollywood stuff.<br/><br/>The few actors who made some impact here are Gil Bellowsthe lonely archaeologist who tumbles on something very wrong and Suleka Mathewthe pest exterminator. Rest are forgettable, including Daryl Hannah&#39;s presence.<br/><br/>Sad, this movie had oodles of potential and could have done much better.<br/><br/>Verdict: Nice try but still boring anyway. Let the aliens invade :) You just got to have loved the line where the old geezer took a vehicle and got caught by the cops in order for everyone else to escape… another in the scene mentioned how basically he was a tough old bird… he&#39;ll be right. I couldn&#39;t help but think…. &quot;You idiot, those cops are aliens… hes surely going to be more fertilizer… lol. I would have used the characters names in my comment… but the characters wereforgettablethe movie… Oh, i guess it wasn&#39;t that bad?<br/><br/>Overall the movie wasn&#39;t to bad. I think the biggest failure was that the power the space captain (or whatever he was) had over the aliens really never had a big enough impact on the outcome of the movie. The truth is anyone could have killed the bugs with a grenade. I think his power over them should have itself caused the ultimate demise of the aliens.
