When a top secret Pentagon experiment intended to release paranormal powers goes out of control at the same time that a Sierra Nevada observatory receives an apparently extraterrestrial signal, it's believed that the two are connected. Colonel David Garrett (Louis Gossett, Jr.) heads out for the observatory while computer expert Jack Jones (Judd Nelson) attempts to share the signal with the entire world. Before long, it is evident that the signal has darker origins, with the potential to unleash some very bad things on the world.

What sparked my interest was the reference to 'from the producers of Left Behind - the movie', based on the excellent book series by Tim LaHaye (left Behind - a novel of the earth's last days, where millions of people just disappear, a sort of end of bible, antichrist thing). So the same producers did this film, hmmmm should I give it a two or three star, maybe 2 1/2 stars.
'An edge of your seat thriller', sorry no, definately away from the edge thriller. Very little special effects but the story line is ok if you have 90 mins to spare.
A straight port to video I think, a dvd you'd buy! in a christian bookshop.
Be warned there is no nudity, swearing or gore, relying on its story line which is not quite horror nor thriller. Come to think about it, it might do well as a mini series on sky. Not quite 'Taken' nor ET or Omen, a low budget flick, with better then average acting but awful blocky black greeny squares where the black colour should be, which did spoile the movie a bit.
Would I own it - no, would I whatch it again - no, would I recommend it - maybe, for christians, and those who dont like to much blood and gore.
