Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Memorable, crazy movie

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

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.

I don't know where these vicious reviewers came from but I've seen some horrendous schlock films get better reviews and better ratings. Even the worst of the worst were not defiled like this group of post XGen reviewers looking for anything they can trash. Especially if it was from their parents generation.This movie doesn't deserve the treatment it has received from this group. In fact, it looks like an organized trashing effort from someone who has a personal bone to pick who gathered his friends to help attack this movie. Anarchistic shallow mentality by their own declarations of intent.The story is good. The film & sound quality are clear. The camera-work is professional. The editing has good continuity. The screenplay & dialogue are well done. The dialogue has depth. The Actors all deliver their lines well. There is Entertaining riveting Action from beginning to end. The special effects & alien technologies are well done. Even the ending song & performance were worthy of a top 10 hit record.I don't see the problem these neophytes are complaining about. The only weak points would be the need for better lighting on the night scenes and less screaming by the females. While the characters prevailed at the ending it was clearly left open for a series or sequel.This movie is just as good as the acclaimed "Species" and certainly as good or better than the sci-fi schlock produced over the past 15 years.These reviewers are just being nasty for means sake because they thrive on destruction. What kind of true Sci-fi fan would trash Independence Day? Consider what kind of people are posting these unfair, rotten reviews. These attacks are unfounded & undeserved. They must find pleasure out of trashing an undeserving film. A power play to satiate a need to bully. Certainly not genuine sci-fi fans.Check out the reviews on The phantom planet or the war of the planets for review comparisons. Those were far worse productions with far less criticism.This was an enjoyable film. Maybe not a great film but quite well done & holds your attention throughout. It has a lot more depth to the alien attacks than most major films with high ratings.

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...

This movie is summed up by the most intelligent line uttered by one of its principal characters..."I feel like I am in a bad episode of The X-Files" ...Alien Species is a schlocky formulaic alien invasion film with decent special effects, a lot of mediocre action and decent acting, which is so poorly shot, and so uninspiringly written, that it reaches new lows. And don't get me started on the hideous sound track! This film could easily be lost among many of the early Sci-Fi Channel fiascoes. There are a number of CGI shots involving space ships, an impossibly globe-like earth and urban explosions straight out of Missile Command (complete with disappearing flame and temporary damage).Before I waste what little energy this film's review warrants I'll let you in on the plot. Aliens are invading the earth for no particular reason and everybody on earth is so freaked out and terrified that there is no military response and general panic and desperation predominate. A couple of prisoners are being transported to jail and a flying saucer knocks them off the road, after they pick up a few stranded victims of an automobile accident (including a famous astronomer and UFO expert of course!). One of the criminals turns out to be an innocent man and easily the worst actor in the film, but fortunately he doesn't speak until about half-way through (the X-Files comment being one of his first multi-word lines). Anyway, you get the picture.As usual, I handed this a 2 because its harmless - since I reserve single star ratings for bigger productions which pose serious mental health risks such as "Tin Cup" and "Runaway Bride". My advice - enjoy this if you're like me and have to see every bad sci fi film ever made. Otherwise, don't waste your time.
