I've heard reports that the Asylum version of War of the Worlds was better than Spielberg's, and it certainly wouldn't be difficult to outdo Bay's version of Transformers, so I think this is worth a shot. Looks to be high grade cheese at worst.

People talking into their wrists? SOLD! The only thing better could be like that cartoon with the magic cars with removable computers the size of CRT monitors. Awww, yeah.
That's right Stark, this movie was so cheap that they couldn't afford to give the actors toy watches to talk into. Oddly enough everyone does get a leather jacket... Oh well, they were probably fake leather or something.
When I first saw the trailer, my first thought was that this movie looked really cool.
But Upon further thought, and another viewing of the trailer with a different mindset, it looks utterly stupid. We could probably consider ourselves lucky if the movie is only as stupid as Stealth, because from the look of it, it's going to give Battlefield Earth a run for it's money.

Well, it's a direct to DVD movie from a Roger Corman disciple. You're not supposed to expect much for $10.00. It's definitely one of those "so bad it's funny" kind of movie.
Wow... that looks really pathetic, both visually and storywise. Its even more sad when you realize that there are free FAN FILMS out there (IMPS The Relentless, Star Wrek - In the Pirkining) that have far better effects and production quality than a movie they expect us to pay money for.

I like to believe they're, like, crew leather jackets or something: every gaffer etc was hired on their ownership of the correct jacket. Ahhh, rubbish movies...

Actually, the director's wife just stitched them together from the old leather carseats in the junkyard they rented out. The 'hero' jackets on the close-up actors are just on loan from a local biker gang they hired out as extras to provide some beefcake and also to keep them from stealing the film equipment, as they also like to hang around in the junkyard/set.
Hey, morphing robots and catfighting lesbians from a Roger Corman protege. Doesn't get any better than that.

Transmorphers, you'll want to gouge out your eyes! I knew it was going to bebad, and wasn't disapponted. Fortuantly, I got to see it for free, but there was plenty of warning to stop me from paying for a rental. If you want a quality bad movie watch Recon 2020, it makes Transmorphers look like an Oscar nominee.

I want to believe it was an actual parody, I really do. But sadly, I just don't have that much faith in hollywoood.
Stealth was as much of an unintentional parody as Armageddon was. Which is to say, not at all. Which is why it was so amusing. Still not as funny as The Core though, which was not only the most relentlessly and amusingly awful science ever seen in a big-budget movie, it also won the 'writer bitching about how everyone is being unfair because he really put lots of effort into making it realistic' bonus LOL award.
