Starring: Sean (Emile "Into the Wild" Hirsch), Ben (Max "The Social Network" Minghela), Skyler (Joel Kinnamon), etc.
A pair of American slackers, played by Emile Hirsch and Max Minghela, fly to Moscow, Russia to pitch an entrepreneurial idea. Unfortunately, soon after they arrive, another young businessman played by Joel Kinnamon, has stolen their idea and used it as if it was his. To deal with their loss, the two hapless Americans look for a place to party, preferably with attractive young Russian women. Soon afterward an unusual sky formation appears and a bunch of possible shooting stars come down from above. Some of these meteor-like phenomena fall to earth right in front of a crowd of onlookers, including the two Americans. The crowd disperses, but when a Russian cop is literally vaporized by the light formation there is a full-on panic, and the two Americans flee for their lives; along with two pretty American girls they meet and the businessman who stole their idea. These five people try to avoid being killed by an alien presence which cannot by seen but can kill at will. They soon discover though, that these unseen aliens can be detected because their electrical field causes lights to light up and engines and motors to start. This electrical charge may be the key to their vulnerability. Although definitely a so-called B-movie, which would only potentially win awards for special effects; I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie. However, it doesn't matter whether you see it in 3-D (as I did) or in two dimensions to save money on the ticket price.
