I just watched that the other day too. I liked it.
At the end of the movie when he’s in his 4x4 (Ford) van it got me thinking. How bad ass it would be to have a pre-smog CHEVY 4x4 van, so i started looking into it. I kind of already knew Chevy didn’t make a 4x4 van from the factory but i was looking at ones for sale and/or conversion kits made for them. Pretty cool shit but i think i’m gonna just stick to my other plan. A K5 Blazer build with an LS swap. Would put the 408 stroker in there i wanna start building soon. Hey! A guy can dream right lol. The dreams I have while on the shitter always seem to cost the most.

This is pretty good, a prequel to "The Terminal List" from a couple of years ago. Tactical realism is first rate. A solid 9/10 IMO. Co-creator is Jack Carr.

“The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” consistently brings the action and the boom factor, big time.

Aliens Earth is the first in the franchise in a while that I think hits like the first two entries. It isn't perfect, but it is entertaining to watch.

Yeah I liked it , but I wish they moved it along, less cyborg/android/human interactions and more creature mayhem.
