Okay, so first off this released way later than I was expecting. 2008?! That’s only five years before Moffat would bring back the Zygons in Day of the Doctor. Genuinely I had thought both this and Cyberon were made in the 90s. Man, I was wrong.

This is more what I imagined from Cyberon, btw. The acting is weaker though the actors aren’t given as good material to work with; the story is quite frankly a mess. And the time period of which these Zygons were trapped in Earth I would have drastically lowered if I had written this as it just seems like they’re terrible at their job.

The nudity and sex was certainly a choice, didn’t bother me too much, maybe because I’ve already seen Torchwood and some of this is just a bit more adult than that. But ultimately it’s the least of why I think this movie is downright messy compared to Cyberon. Sucks too because the character of Lauren Anderson (played by Jo Castleton) I really liked in the first movie. She does a lot more questionable stuff here, and something really tragic happens to her as well and she just shows very little emotion regarding most of it.

What I did like is the SFX/CGI stuff. That low budget sci-fi from the 00s that gives more of an impressionistic vibe at times. That was solid stuff. I do appreciate the story they were trying to tell about self and identity and yadda yadda, just wish it was better.
