I'm not even going to try and figure out how and why this film was made. No doubt mistakes were made, talented people saw the error of their ways, and they vowed never to make the same mistakes again. But the film is here and the memories remain. This is Andrew Lau at his worst.
Wesley is a special agent who tracks down aliens on Earth. He is tracking a female specimen who is looking for her brother. Wesley ends up in the middle of a government conspiracy involving tests on extraterrestrials, and he discovers several alien races are involved in this hot mess.
Hong Kong was never too good at sci-fi, it's insane that they took a film with a silly premise like this and tried to turn it into something serious. The special effects are dreadful, the tone of the film is all wrong, and even Andy Lau can't save this disaster. It's a real train wreck, and that's about the best thing about this production.
