Occupation (2018)

How this has gotten enough positive reviews to get a 6 rating is beyond me. I don't normally bother to do something like write a review and definitely not a bad one, but this warranted it.

It is like they transplanted a Australian 1980's B-movie director to the present day and he tried to condense the TV-series Falling Skies(which is a half-way decent series) into a movie using every cliche imaginable with a sprinkling of Red Dawn on top.

If I were to sum it up it is like what could have been a good story was re-told by an over 12 year old boy, skipping ahead when there should have been detail and spending a lot of time elaborating poorly on action scenes.

Could have been a good movie and the story is actually not that bad but the way this is made is just.. bad.

Fmovies: God awful plot and acting. Australian film industry should not promote this piece of garbage. Story line was poor from the start and I'm afraid to say it just.got.worse.

So many quotes from other movies that just made this film cheesy and a total waste of resources. There are scenes similar to other movies soit's a bit of a poor man's movie mash up. Could go down as a classic crap flick. Time will tell.

I have never critique a movie before on IMDB but I felt so emotional about this that I had to.

It's a falling skies rip off even the aliens look like them. Terrible acting, Story continuity everything. I found myself yelling at the screen at the flaws in the story until I realised where I was.

I would tell you where it's bad but I would need pages and pages as nearly every minute is BAD.!! I'm ashamed that this was even produced and filmed in Australia, only good thing it employed a lot of australians, but that's it., we have, as still do better than this in this country. Skip it and see Tomorrow, When the War Began (2010). much better occupation movie. People who gave it ten i suspect are paid reviewers and others that gave it more than 5 are extremely generous.

Occupation fmovies. I figured it got a 6 so at least it might be mildly entertaining.....Well clearly the reviews are a bunch of BS cause this movie is a complete mess. Don't waste your time with this movie. You would have more fun getting a root canal.

It's clear the 98 reviews are the directors friends giving this terrible film a 7.4 average. The only reason I gave it 1 star is because I couldn't give it a minus 5. Everything from the plot, script and especially the directing was easily the worst I have ever seen. The only positive I could give is the costume design for the aliens. Please don't waste your hard earned money.

Music - one guy with keyboards, plot - worthy of a sequel of a bad movie, acting - below average, stereotypes and clichess - ALL there. Waste of time, unless you are high. I didnt know its australian, by the amount of patriotism it feels like a pure American proud-to-be film.

I have just watched Extinction before this - compared to this thats an amazing movie.

Oh and the aliens wear capes :)
