Plot

A comedy that follows the chaos that ensues when a meteor hits the Earth carrying alien life forms that give new meaning to the term "survival of the fittest." David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott, and Julianne Moore are the only people standing between the aliens and world domination... which could be bad news for the Earth.

Sinekatalog’s take

Alien organisms mutate wildly on Earth, and a ragtag group of scientists and soldiers must stop them. The gross-out gags and creature effects are goofy, and the film never takes itself seriously. A breezy B-movie comedy that fits a lazy night.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
