Alien Siege

The world has been enslaved by an alien race that wants to harvest humans for their blood.  They need the blood to create a vaccine for a disease on their home planet.  But they don't just take the blood, they take the people.
 
A total of 8 million people are to be harvested by the alien Kulkus.  The contribution by the United States is 800,000.  A lottery is created to see who will be chosen to be sacrificed.  Dr. Stephen Chase's daughter, Heather, is one of the chosen, but he doesn't want to let her go.  He tries all movie to keep her from being processed, but she gets sent to the space ship that does the blood work.  Turns out, she is one of a handful that can withstand the pressures of the medical experiment being performed by the Kulkus.  Not only that, but her blood might be the perfect cure.
 
It doesn't matter, Dr. Chase is one of the leading researchers studying a Kulkus vessel that crashed on the Earth 50 years ago.  And he's a sneaky one.  He hid material, Genexium, that the Kulkus were looking for up in the drop ceiling of his office.  Cleaver, huh?
 
Heather gets help from the very soldiers who are gathering up the people for the Kulkus.  Carl Weathers is in charge of the soldiers.  I guess he should have punched some more discipline in them.
 
The aliens have superior fire power, but they have wretched aiming skills.  I guess the few explosions that they created must have shocked the military into doing their bidding.  Even if you enjoy science fiction movies, you will have a hard time enjoying this one.  Definitely one to miss.  One of the best lines of the movie, "That's one for the humans."
 
I give this movie 1/2 out of 5 rebel strikes.
