Dropa is a movie about aliens who were awoken by some nukes, killed off because of a virus, only to find out that 1) it didn't kill everyone and 2) the virus was engineered by humans to get people onboard to kill the aliens. Oh and I guess the main character and his wife were aliens all along. Shocker.
The concept was nice, but the execution just didn't work. About 15 minutes, I found my interest waning. About an hour, I felt the need to take a nap. Finished up the movie only because, well, I was already halfway done. Plot was unnecessarily convoluted, atmosphere was dark and brooding, which might have worked if the plot was better. Acting was the worst kind of bad -- wooden and dull. If it were at least campy, you could have had a bit of fun with that.
The "homage" to Blade Runner kinda worked against the movie as it telegraphed the ending twist.
Didn't like it, but I got a nice nap out of it, so that's a bit of a plus.
