“Colonials” (*1/2 out of four) was a junior-high version of “Star Wars”,”Blade Runner”, and just about every other future-action thriller you can think of about a space colonist (Greg Kriek) who crashlands on Earth to save the planet from an advanced Moon enforcer (Sean Kanan) who wants to wipe out the planet to extinction but doesn’t foresee the widespread resistance (Daniel Roebuck, Jamie Bernadette, and others) he will encounter. Much of the video-game like effects look like something from a 90’s CD-ROM and script and storytelling are threadbare. Sad to see talented one-time 80/s/90’s rising stars Kanan and Roebuck in this direct-to-DVD schlock.
