Due to political pressure from the American public, the Air Force has decided to allow two well-known reporters limited access to the most secretive base on the planet. But when one of the base’s “long-term visitors” exploits this unprecedented visit as a chance to liberate himself and his fellow alien captives, Area 51 turns from a secure government base to a horrifying destination of terror.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This film should be avoided like the plague. Even giving it one star has permanently exhausted my generosity quota.The concept is derivative and hackneyed, the script is trite and flat, the acting is hammier than a high street butchers, and the SFX are just three consonants in search of a vowel.The only good things to say about it are that a) with a budget of only about $1 million, not too much money was wasted by film industry standards, and b) it's mercifully short, at barely an hour and a half. Do yourself a favour and do literally anything apart from watching this. End of altruistic warning.

First of all, all i heard about this film was that it was terrible and there was nothing good about it, and then when i found out it was made by SYFY it made me doubt it more, well i was surprised to be honest about it. It was quite good.I think i enjoyed it because i expected the worst so it could only get better from that.yes the aliens do look cheesy and low budget but it is in fact a fun film, you just have to accept it for what it is and don't take it to serious,The acting is about 7 out of 10, some of the actors didn't really do a good job about it but on the other hand there was some good acting to.A decent body count, with some decent kills in it too. Some aspects in the film we're laughable to be honest, but that is what i did, i just laughed, this is probably why i enjoyed it haha,

I follow the After Dark series and I know that many people do complain about the entries. Some are good but most of them aren't. This is the most hated one in the new issue of After Dark and I must agree. From second one you know what you will get, SyFy, yes, not known for quality. Although that I must admit that the effects this time were rather good. But the flick fails completely in script. After the SyFy logo we see a journalist standing before the fences of Area 51. They really looked stupid but not only that, she's standing before a green key. If you watch closely you can see that even the key being made to cut out the green wasn't perfect at all. I have my picture before the gates of Area 51 and it isn't what is shown here. Nevertheless, back to the movie. It's okay to tell a story about Area 51 but when it becomes really ridiculous then you know that you are in deep sh*t. Come on, an alien talking English? And just look what they did with the story, first it's an attack by a baby alien, of course that you could see coming. The mother itself do looks like the aliens from Xtro. On the other hand they even ripped-off Alien. There's a shot were a soldier is facing the head of the alien, it's like the one of Ripley facing the alien, just the same, dripping teeth included. The acting couldn't convince me too, it was all a bit to cliché. John Shea was just standing there and almost didn't do anything except at the end. Bruce Boxleitner (remember Tron)wasn't convincing too.They even tried to make the flick believable by adding the so-called room were the Roswell alien was dissected. But the talking alien entered that room and it ruined it all. It just bored me a lot, why does this is included in the After Dark series is an enigma for me. If there wasn't a bit of gory shots I would recommend it to my 10 year old child. Let Area 51 just be Area 51.Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5
