Sorry, this movie sucks

Absolutely brilliant

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I may have been up really late at night, but I didn't mind 'Alien Species' at all. Its craftsmanship for such a cheap B-movie production was pretty good (although the special effects looked like they were created on a Nintendo or Sega Genesis, and then grafted onto the film), the script was interesting enough in the realm of 'alien hostile takeover' movies, and its pace never lagged for a second. While watching it, the film's ending was very ambiguous, as if this had been planned as a pilot film for a TV-series, or at the very least, a feature-length sequel.I loved the work of veteran character actors Charles Napier and Hoke Howell (the latter died shortly after the film's completion, and the death is mentioned in the end credits). Their consummate professionalism gave a classy sheen that the film otherwise didn't deserve. It's definitely worth a watch, though, to fans of both B-movies and of science fiction.

This is an unbelievable awful movie, with absolutely no sense or logic.I was even ashame of seeing it. Most definitely one of the worst movies I ever came across. How?!? How come it's possible such a lousy idea and why after reading the script they did the movie, instead of actually firing all the writers and people involved in it? That's a complete mystery for me, and I bet for all the viewers.I never saw a North Korean movie, but I bet it would not be worse. To be honest, my dog could do better, and I don't even have a dog.Any review of this title, can't contain any spoilers, because this title, has absolutely no screenplay, story or plot.At some point a guy has a bazooka in his car just because...Stupid but incredible remarkable!My only conclusion, is that probably no one, was getting paid in that movie Which if it's true, that's the only thing that was right in this film.Thank's anyway, I guess...But please don't keep practicing.Nelson Matos

"A fleet of UFOs is circling the Earth and a top scientist races to discover their true intentions for the planet. When the UFOs begin an attack on Earth, the scientist finds himself thrown in with a sheriff and his deputies transporting some prisoners to jail. The unlikely group is forced to seek shelter from the attack in a nearby cave, not knowing how significant it is to the alien's plans," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis.Peter Maris' "Alien Species" probably heated up a few 1990s video players, with its title and young cast. Star-billed supporting actors Charles Napier (as Sheriff Nate Bridges) and Hoke Howell haven't much to do; instead, the film focuses on "young talent". More seems to have been expected from Marc Robinson (as Paul Towers) and Jodi Seronick (as Carol Nelson) than the others; although, Kurt Paul (as Harlan Banks) is more enjoyable than not.The titillation level is relatively low, you show know; the sexiest scene is when Mr. Robinson carries Ashley Semrick (as Stacy Chambers) out of the cave, close to the end. ("Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high…") Perhaps the all too quick and confusing conclusion would have been clearer in the "Coming Soon", but canceled, follow-up "Alien Species 2 - The Invasion." Oh, well, there is still time...

Bad acting, bad special effects, plot holes that you can drive a mack truck right through. All that, and Charles Napier too.I give this a 9 out of 10 on the B-movie scale; I was thoroughly entertained. You have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy this. I can't believe this gets a 2.4 on IMDb while there are clearly worse movies out there that score considerably higher.It actually reminded me of "Planet Terror" from the Grindhouse double feature by Robert Rodriguez that was released earlier this year.You can get this movie on a 12-disc set (total of 50 movies) that is titled "Nightmare Worlds" from Amazon . com.
