Touches You

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

The acting in this movie is really good.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

When an alien crash-lands in Area 51, a former soldier and his girlfriend try to help the being recover a device stolen from a rival alien species that will annihilate Earth before it can launch the initial codes for it to happen.There wasn't a whole lot here that really wowed me over, as it ends up feeling more like a sci-fi film than a true horror with the aliens almost humanoid and not beasts, the focus on the recovery rather than the graphic kills, and an important error within as the ones we did get weren't very violent anyway, and the large sections of time devoted to the unraveling of the mystery surrounding the device instead of the aliens going after people, so as a horror film this one here is sorely lacking and really not worthwhile. Some of the action scenes are pretty nice and get some decent moments in, including the arrival and wiping out of a security troop on the base in a fun shoot-out, but this is totally undone by the rather insipid idea that comes in at the very end where the loyalties might be questioned by both sides, yet nothing is done with it and it's incredibly disappointing and confusing. Not a whole lot here to like at all.Rated Unrated/R: Adult Language and Violence.

The energy crisis has been solved. Turns out an alien race can use our carbon emissions for their own planet. Easy answer to all our current issue with the planet.Jude and some dude in ancient alien underwater "flight"suit, battle it out on our planet. They are both visitors from outer space. This costume reminded me of the old 50's A whopping 3 million was spent on this flick. I think making these films does provide employment and training ground for film/video folks and good experience before they graduate to making a commercial movie. These SyFy movies are the fast food of the industry. You start flipping burgers and move up to management. Direct a few SyFy movies and move up to theatrical release.The costume for the "gas mask" alien was surely inspired by Road Warrior. But the cutout butt cheeks were missing on this thrown together, jury rigged design. Visit a salvage store, buy tons of surplus, thrown them on an alien. His outfit reminded me of the 50's flick with the gorilla with the diving helmet.Jason and GiGi work with Jude, the other alien, to save the planet. Jason seems unable to master the RPG. Perhaps they should have given it to a Russian. Jason took about 5 minutes to aim but never fire the RPG. He should take a training class. At one time he has the aim but is distracted. I like the scene where he "debates" the bad alien, who tries to convince him that he is really the good guy. He turns off his squealing vocals to English. "I am saving the planet the other guy is a terrorist." In movies like this you really need a few hot chicks with 36DD cleavage to keep a guys interest. Really. And tight shorts and t-tops. GiGi just doesn't make the grade, but she is cute. And you need a "get wet" scene somewhere, like in P2.The only sexy scene is where Jude tells GiGi to "slide the ether rod into the terminal port" to save the planet from invasion. She is carrying around a dildo type device for a lot of the movie and this dialog is loaded with innuendo.If it comes on the SyFy channel, you might check it out. The squealing alien sounded like a lifted audio track from a Godzilla movie.

I watched this because of the intriguing title, and a bit out of "Party of Five" sentiment. I've seen over 2500 films, yet none of the actor I had seen before, so I thought hey nice! unknown actors! But I was thoroughly disappointed by the story. And the cinematography.I just don't like that a film, which is supposed to have sweltering skies and a desert backdrop is played out under a leaden sky. All right, so I like the sun, sue me. Yeah yeah, I know they explained it, and they're Canadians, so can you blame them for using their own country? I guess not.Still, this movie had 2nd rate written all over it. There is nothing which annoys me so much as Stupid Characters. Prime Example: the Tough Sarge. Why was he so stupid as not to distinguish between the two aliens? and on the other hand, Our Hero could just as easily have said: Look, he's the local Interstellar Cop, that is an Intergalactic Hoodlum and he wants to kill us all for profit/food/our minerals. Easy explanation, but yeah that would kinda kill the story .... But wait! that is the mark of a good writer, that presents his lore in such a way that believable obstacles are given, which do not rely on the stupidity of the characters. Wouldn't Our Hero say everything that sounds reasonable to keep the world from being poisoned? It's bad, very bad. Then, they try to throw in a totally unbelievable plot twist near the end, which could explain the rapid progress of the villain to the scene of the Bomb, but TOTALLY unbelievable, since we get no background info on Bad Alien at all, whereas we do get background info on Good Alien, he has a GF, she died, etc etc. Minor detail: They used the same bike they used in Tinman!!! I mean, how cheap can a channel get!!84 mins of my life ... anyway, it's that I get somewhat paid to review these, or else ...

I'll tell you why. It wasn't the best film in the world, and it certainly wasn't the worst. But what it was not, well, it was not BORING!!! And for me, to sit through a two hour TV movie, well, I just sat and watched and enjoyed. The special effects were very well done. I didn't watch it for the acting. I watched it because I enjoy sci-fi and with all the crap out here and yes, most of the crap is on the SCi-fi Channel, with their reptiles, and snakes and whatever, it was nice to just enjoy an Alien movie without having to think about it too much.So if you just want to chill in front of the TV, grab some popcorn, grab your wife or girlfriend and sit and enjoy a not too complicated sci-fi movie.I'm so tired of zombies, vampires etc. We need a sequel to this one. Well done Sci Fi Channel.
