I saw this on the Sci Fi Channel as a 3 part mini-series. The plot is excellent, the writing fairly good (avoiding many of the typical cliches), the acting generally competent except for Fred Ward being badly miscast as a NATO general. The atmosphere created by the writer was dark, grim, and often depressing - a kind of sci-fi film noir. This added to the obviously intended idea that humanity was in a fight it couldn't possibly win. The ending was, of course, disappointing from the standpoint of "what happens next?", but it's also obvious that some kind of continuation or sequel was originally intended. The Sci- Fi Channel (or some other interested party) would do well to look into reviving the premise and doing a follow up. Perhaps an international production with segments being made by producers in several countries all over the world and shown in sequence. Difficult to do, but with the proper coordination...
