Invasion Roswell Trailers

After the American Army shot down a UFO in 1947, generations of elite commandos were secretly trained to deal with the aliens' feared return. However, the extra-terrestrials never came back and the elite force was disbanded. Sixty-six years after the Roswell crash, the aliens are invading Earth and only the over-the-hill retired commandos can stop them.

The Worst Film Ever

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

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This is classic SyFy fare. Bad acting, plot holes galore and ripping off bigger budget mainstream movies - c'mon, admit it. You couldn't miss the similarities between this film and Independence Day they were so obvious.The only two cast names I recognised were Denise Crosby and Greg Evigan (had to look him up to confirm he was in B.J. & The Bear) and they did a competent job in their roles. It would be nice to say the same for everyone else who signed up to ride this awful thing.If you've got about 90 minutes to kill and you're not fussed about being intelligently entertained, this is the movie for you. It isn't Sharknado, but you might find yourself yelling at your television hoping that the stupid goes away at some stage.

Not completely terrible. The best aspect is the acting which is reasonably good, especially from Greg Evigan and Denise Crosby. Their general professionalism however deserved a much better movie. The photography, editing and the way it's shot is hardly incompetent though their quality's not particularly note-worthy. The special effects is a good starting point to why Invasion Roswell is not a good movie, at best they're laughable and unfinished-looking. And let's not get started on the alien weapons, I do agree that they look like children's toys. The story is not involving at all, that it's so predictable that you can smell the ending a mile away is one thing but there's also very little fun, suspenseful or thrilling on display, there are moments but they are too far and between. The dialogue is painfully under-written and trite, the direction is completely flat and the characters are little more than ciphers that don't do much of a good job moving the story forward. The aliens are not much of a threat, very lacking in personality and presence. Overall, not terrible or a disaster but dull and pretty poor, the acting is pretty much the only good thing about it. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Another SyFy Channel movie to grace the screen, but unfortunately this one doesn't extinguish itself from the rest of the bunch. And it is essentially a very predictable Sci-Fi movie.The story is about a group of middle aged, retired soldiers saving planet earth from aliens! A unit of extraterrestrial special operatives are sent into retirement, but have to don their uniforms and weapons one last time as aliens return to Earth to invade the planet for some unknown reason.And as it is with these kind of movies, then you know the ending right from the very beginning. And true enough, the movie does not let down the audience on this account."Invasion Roswell" suffered badly from a predictable storyline and bad CGI effects, which essentially was the killer of the enjoyment for the movie, as the acting done by the people on the cast list was actually good enough - but they just had very little to work with.It should be said that the alien suits were actually looking nice, although it sort of took the entire alien being away from the movie as they wore helmets and we only got to see one alien while it was undergoing an autopsy.When we are first introduced to the alien weapons, I nearly spilled my drink. The weapons looked so much like those toy guns you can get for the PlayStation 3 Move controllers - into which you put the controller and wield the combined two pieces like an actual "weapon". It was hilarious."Invasion Roswell" might actually have something to offer to the audience that enjoy cheesy, campy and generic Sci-Fi movies. This is not a million-dollar Hollywood CGI-fest, so don't get your hopes up. For me, despite its predictability and cheesiness, then "Invasion Roswell" gets a 3 out of 10 rating - there is just something bizarrely entertaining about these campy movies.

After a 1947 Roswell, New Mexico alien attack, the US has kept a top secret crew of five individuals trained in fighting off another invasion. Because the crew was getting old and the aliens did not return, they were forcibly retired. Seven years later, the aliens are coming back. Big, ugly spaceships hover over Earth's largest cities. These aliens are not shy. A newscaster reveals the alien race is "bent on our destruction!" After seeing the "Breaking News" on television, burly Greg Evigan (as Patrick Conte) is assaulted by a human-like form in a metal-like spacesuit. Fortunately for Mr. Evigan, he has an occasionally bluish glowing object which seems to scare the attacker back into its spaceship...Evigan decides, "I have to get the team back together." First, he locates seemingly loony John Francis (as George), who frets about an anal probe but often seems willing to drop trou for more action. Next re-recruited are gun-collecting Clarence Smith (as Tweety) and cowboy-type hunter Daniel Hugh Kelly (as David). Smart graying blonde Denise Crosby (as Linda) rounds out the quintet. One of the only sensible things we learn is that 66 years isn't such a long time between visits, considering the number of light-years the extra-terrestrials must be traveling. Apparently, the aliens have watched the "Star Wars" film series with much admiration. "Invasion Roswell" otherwise makes only a little sense.** Invasion Roswell (8/8/13) David Flores ~ Greg Evigan, Denise Crosby, John Francis, David Hugh Kelly
