An excellent low-budget indie, I rate it quite highly! A good concept, well-handled, good writing, and well-executed. Worth seeing! You won't see massive explosions, laser beams, and gun battles, but you will be entertained by this clever little film.
Spoiler (it's only the barest of spoiler, really just setting-up the plot): Aliens are coming to Earth and it's getting worldwide TV coverage and a bunch of friends are having a party to celebrate (eat, drink, & be merry for tomorrow we die?).
So, can material like this actually be filmed on a low-budget, and be interesting, entertaining, natural, and do justice to the idea as well as being realistic?
Yes! It focuses on the party and the characters, their past relationships and tensions, and how this new tension of the day affects them all. Quite entertaining to see how the party plays out, and it all felt quite natural and real, as if a party like this could really unfold just as portrayed.
I've seen plenty of indies that really weren't worth my time. This one, however, I'm glad I saw, and I hope a lot more people get a chance to check it out.
