![]() The premise of an alien that can take over humans is nothing new as it has been used in quite a few other movies. If you are looking for an original sci-fi movie you will be disappointed. It is far from a great sci-fi movie, but it is not terrible either. Ultimately Breach is basically the most average sci-fi movie that you could ever expect. What can you really expect from the inside of a spaceship though? The sets are solid even if they are a little drab. When the movie doesn’t have to rely on the CGI though I thought it did a commendable job for a lower budget. Basically you can tell that the budget was limited for the special effects. I have seen much worse, but I have seen much better as well. I don’t know what the movie’s budget was, but I have to think that it is on the lower end for this type of movie. Speaking of Breach‘s budget I will say that it has an impact from time to time. There are much better sci-fi action movies, but Breach is not bad in this area either. At only 89 minutes the movie packs in quite a bit of action into its runtime. Outside of the setup period at the beginning of the movie, there really aren’t any slow points. The movie is far from deep, but it is entertaining in its own way. This involves a lot of gunfights and chases down corridors. Basically you get what you would expect from a movie where the crew of a spaceship tries to fend off an alien threat. Due to a more limited budget Breach doesn’t reach the level of a blockbuster movie, but I don’t think it is bad either. This is not all that surprising as when you cast Bruce Willis you generally expect to get an action movie. Instead of relying on suspense Breach seems more interested in just being another sci-fi action movie. If you are looking for a typical movie from this genre you may be disappointed because you aren’t left wondering what is going to happen next. Because of this the movie isn’t particularly suspenseful as there really aren’t any twists. I think Breach made a mistake by not embracing some more deception. Outside of the very beginning of the movie the alien threat isn’t really even trying to remain hidden as it is obvious who is infected as they basically act like zombies. Instead the movie is pretty straightforward with who is infected and who isn’t. For some reason Breach decides not to utilize this. You never truly know though which brings some suspense to the movie as you don’t know what is going to happen. Until the end of the movie you usually only have hunches of who is infected. Most of these movies rely on the viewers’ and characters’ uncertainty of who is infected. The one area where Breach differs is in the area of suspense. In a lot of ways Breach follows this genre pretty closely as the movie is basically all about figuring out who is infected and trying to stop the spread. The basic premise behind the movie is that there is an alien threat that can infect any human it interacts with and make them do its bidding. From movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers to The Thing, if you are familiar with this genre you probably already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the movie. ![]() I have only see a few of the movies from this genre, but the “body snatchers” genre has had quite a few movies made for it over the years. I don’t know how useful this comment will be to people wanting to learn more about Breach, but I have to say that it is one of the most average sci-fi movies that I have ever seen. Can the ragtag crew fend off the alien threat and eliminate it before it destroys the entire ship? The alien is intent on making sure the humans don’t make it safely to their new home. This alien begins infecting members of the ship forcing them to do its bidding. Things begin to go awry though due to an alien hitching a ride on the ship. The only humans left awake are a skeleton crew responsible for making sure the ship runs smoothly. ![]() At first the journey goes off without a hitch as most of the humans are put into a cryogenic sleep. Breach follows the last ship to leave Earth on its journey to humankind’s new home. ![]() A deadly plague has been ravaging Earth forcing humankind to leave and colonize a new planet. In the distant future the Earth has become uninhabitable. ![]()
