Fairly polished but essentially ramshackle low-budget British sci-fi. Alien robots invade and order everyone to stay indoors in perpetuity (insert your own joke here). Plucky group of teenagers discover a flaw in the robots' control system and start to fight back.
An odd mixture, like something from the Children's Film Foundation mashed up with a British gangster movie and some Sci-Fi channel filler: tries hard to be all grown up and cool but is fundamentally too polite to really convince. Good special effects, but there's nothing noteworthy about that these days; what does lift the film into the realms of watchability is another of those Ben Kingsley - sorry, Sir Ben Kingsley - performances where he manages to find reality and pathos where it has no right to be. Gillian Anderson also performs to her usual high standards. Passes the time reasonably well, I suppose.
