Antebios (1998)
A space alien crash lands on an uncharted planet where he must enlist two humans to help destroy the antebios – an unforgiving monster that's a cross between a crab, a flea, and your worst nightmares – that attacked the ship and caused it to crash in the first place.

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Don't listen to the negative reviews
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Having seen this short feature on Sci-Fi Channel's "Exposure" series, I was very impressed with the striking visuals that are presented in this computer animated film by a French Director. Not surprisingly, the director, Francois Baranger, has a background in art and graphics which he richly uses to convey his vision of aliens/creatures/landscapes. The premise seems all too familiar: Alien crash lands on planet, (which may or may not be Earth); meets a pair of military men stationed on remote site; and unites with the humans to fight an even greater alien menace that has also crash landed with the alien. Mr. Baranger, however, is able to bestow some "character" and helps instill a sense of "personality" with his protagonists. And yes, there's even the customary "ethical" dilemma thrown in just to make this an above-average story. Lastly, there is a surprise ending to this very interesting saga. Overall, an enjoyable film to see even is you're not an aficionado of science fiction. Bravo to Mr. Baranger! Vive La France!
