Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Waste of Money.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I understand what the director and writers were trying to do, really I do, and the Colombian soldiers or whichever S.A. country they were from were very collective and looked really like soldiers, well to someone who has never been in an military service. But nothing ever happens. The production company could have hired some 2nd graders to make some paper mache aliens or something. It never reaches any focal point. It looks very promising sometimes, in some moments you think something cool will happen. But it never does. This movie would have had so much audience and so much potential, but I have to say this, don't waste your life on watching this movie.

Another found footage film makes it's entrance in an already crowded market.The idea of Alien Origin is sound, very "predator" like and with a decent start.A group of soldiers are sent to the border to install cameras for detecting illegal immigrants, they are accompanied with a group of cameras that film the whole deal (obviously) and soon after they started the mission they are assigned to change targets for a lost 'archeologist' near the area.Well, I want to be fair with this, the movie starts good, it has nice scenes, their surroundings are pretty amazing, I love my continent to be honest and the visuals are amazing (not because of the talent of the director or filmmakers but for the place they choose).Up until the "cave" part the movie was promising, the cave scene is amazing, wonderful cave, more movies should be made with natural surroundings like this instead of inside studios or north America and I don't say this to defend the movie, but, judge for yourself.From the cave scene onward the movie start spiraling down from good to bad and then proceed from bad to mediocre, ending in such a low point that the whole idea seems so radically horrible i can't understand how the director managed to destroy it so easily.The major low point in this movie is the bleak expression of each actor, i could accept the fact that they are soldiers but after they just boarded an alien aircraft they should had changed their ways, instead, they keep talking and walking and doing the mission like nothing happened and this totally destroyed the credibility of the movie, from that point onward it was a disaster.The special effects are so awful that they could't hide the fact that they created just a room full of lights and tubes as a scenery inside the "spaceship" and we see a full 10 minutes of this guys walking the corridors and you can clearly see they are walking in circles! because there are no corridors, it's just a room !.When the shooting start I could swear the alien bullets where Bengals or cheap Chinese firework, it was SO out of place that the movie quickly scaled from bad to worse.After the ending I felt betrayed, I hoped this was a good one, Asylum had nice ideas in previous movies, but it was such a good place to film something great, totally thrown away by bad filmmaking and a completely bleak and boring script.If the director had choose a different ending and shortened the movie about 30 minutes, it could probably be a passable one, but, as it is, I simply cannot recommend it for other than to watch the wonderful jungles we have on Latin America and this is just for the first 45 minutes. The rest of the movie is totally unnecessary.

Normally when I watch these sorts of movies, I come in with a certain set of expectations. From the cover and the title, I can normally guess the movie it's trying to rip off, and from there, I prepare myself for a train of comedy brought by a laughable premise, hilarious characters, and generally bad direction and editing. However, with this movie, I found my expectations completely surpassed - in fact, this movie obliterated everything I knew about film. A film like this forces you to look upon your life and wonder just exactly what you have been doing with it. Why do I say this? Well, dear reader, I say this because this movie was literally so unbelievably boring, so horrifically boring, that it made me break out in fits of hysterical laughter as a fail safe override due to my brain receiving no input whatsoever. The 90 minutes feel like an eternity in which you're forced to reflect. That, or you've become comatose and are experiencing the time dilation effect of dreaming.In case you want to save yourself from permanent brain damage, I will give you a detailed synopsis, but first, an overview of the scene variety and progression. This movie features such exhilarating scenes including: walking through a jungle; walking through a cavern; gunfire sounds and random fireworks at certain intervals; shaky camera running and terrible distortion effects; and finally, more walking through a jungle.At one point in time, the characters went into a space ship. After this, they went back into the jungle. Then, they all died, and the movie was over. 0/any imaginable metric*. Do not watch this movie if you are in any way suicidal. NOTE: Pay attention to the opening scenes. There you will notice a chubby black fellow sitting at a table with some other soldiers. Pay attention to his expression, for it is a fairly good representation of what to expect from this movie.*I wish I could give this movie a zero, because a 1/10 means that it still has something worth rating. It doesn't.

Alien Origin is the love child of Predator and The Blair Witch Project. And let me tell you, folks, the offspring is not pretty. In fact, it's down right ugly.In the tradition of such films as Quarentined and The Blair Witch Project, the movie documents the mission of a group of soldiers who head off into the jungle and are never heard from, again. Of course, a camera with video documenting the events of the fateful mission, (thanks to the fact that the troops were being accompanied by a cute, female reporter and her trusty cameramen)is recovered some months later, and this supposedly the "actual footage" of what REALLY HAPPENED! And what wonderful video footage we have!!! At least a good hour of almost nothing but the soldiers marching through a rain forest in search of.... well, something. We're never really sure what the original mission is to begin with. The reporter tells us something, but she's quite vague. And the inane babble between her and the troops doesn't give much in the way of details on this matter. We do know that this eventually becomes a search party for two missing scientists who found something of interest and then disappeared themselves.But aside from those few points, we know NOTHING about this mission... except that it takes place in the jungle..... and that these people spend a LOT of time walking around in it.As the name implies, the troops and their media comrades eventually encounter aliens. Or, at least that's what we think they are. They do end up encountering a space ship, and they end up fighting... something. Is it an alien? Is it Bigfoot's cousin? Is it an angry fireworks salesman? Nobody can be sure, because the camera work becomes extremely jumpy and of poor quality. And we never get a look at what the threat really is, because the cameraman (who, if he was really in the media, would probably WANT to get at least a quick shot of an extra-terrestrial, because that would get him an instant bonus from his bosses when he got back home) is always shooting the reactions of the soldiers and his reporter-girl instead of whatever the hell it is they're fighting.This movie is bad so many ways that it almost isn't worth listing them all. The special effects are so low-budget, it's easy to tell that all of the explosions and rockets being fired are nothing more than fireworks left over from the Fourth of July (no, I am not exaggerating). The plot is almost non-existent. There is hardly any acting involved. The journey through the jungle is mind-numbingly long and dull, and the action scenes don't really provide any action; just confusion as to why they're happening and what's happening in them due to the poor camera-work and terrible jump-around editing.Don't bother with this movie.
