Trivia
Scenes were filmed on Cotton Avenue in Macon, Georgia, which was made to look post-apocalyptic. Some buildings were damaged by pyrotechnic effects, including a bus explosion that damaged several businesses. Some residents called the city, wanting them to pick up the trash on the streets.

Goofs
When the squad of kids are sent out at night to kill The Others, they wear black uniforms and move stealthily, but their helmets have bright lights, making them easy targets.

Quotes
Ben Parish: What did we do to deserve...
Colonel Vosch: Nothing. Other than occupy a space we need. We're not that different, Ben. Your kind would do exactly the same thing.
Ben Parish: No. Our kind wouldn't have wiped out an entire species.
Colonel Vosch: Of course you would. You've been doing it for centuries.

7/10

SO much more potential if they would have...

Rating it a 7 because it totally kept my attention. However, this could have been a 9. The first 30 minutes are really good. They really should have kept down that serious adult track. Unfortunately it became a teen movie. It's like running a marathon and gassing out after mile 8. They should have kept it adult level, but rather it got a little cheesy making it a kid-level PG-ish feel. All that being said, there was still enough to keep my attention to finish up and I didn't regret my 2-hour investment.
