........ those two hours of my life back. This was the biggest piece of garbage I have ever had the misfortune to see. They should take the originals of this, burn them, and never allow it to be rebroadcast. Horrible acting, bargain basement "special" effects, the inclusion of Cold War era Soviet vehicles as American. (BMP-3) Alien ships that use high technology beam weapons but that can't hit a truck traveling at 20 mph. Etc. Etc. AWFUL.
shareAnd don't you just love the paid shills in the user comments section telling us what an OMGFABULOUS must-see event this movie is?
My favorite part was the alien personal communicator, which seemed to involve tapping on something that resembled a giant plastic zit attached to their cheeks.
I know it's difficult for you to believe that different people can have different tastes, but it's true. I gave Alien Siege a positive review. If I'm a shill, I'd like to see my paycheck.
Another reviewer who gave the film a positive review has a large number of reviews posted, too, so it's unlikely that he's a "paid shill". Different people like different things. If you didn't like this film, that's fine. But some of us enjoyed it. I gave the film an 8 out of 10, or a "B".
Great. So of the three people who posted prior to seeing the film, one apparently wasn't a paid shill. Oh my, yes, I have been shown the error of my internet ways. I think I shall have an internet moment of reflection now.
sharePlease explain to me why the alien ship can blast through the doors and walls of the observatory, but not the DOME to knock out the device? This movie's plot had more holes than a hunk of swiss cheese at the wrong end of a rifle range. I really am weary of the super-tough-as-nails woman character as I am of the super-tough-as-nails female character. Wow, she shoots someone and is totally no-nonsense! That fails to make me forget she's two-dimensional. Agreed it's a good concept, but poorly executed. Eight million people isn't even a large number. They could have come here offering gold or cash from the sale of their technology and easily have gotten eight million volounteers. Not to mention the way the media talks about the desire to legalize suicide, you'd think eight million people in Oregon alone would like nothing so much as a nice, quick death. Furthermore, they could've just chosen a nice backwards country in Africa to harvest. A million Rwandans were murdered in the late 90s by their fellow HUMANS and nobody bothered to notice. Currently, the UN is fiddling while similar treatment is meted out in the Sudan.
shareBARF inducing mediocrity!!!
Two films showing at the same time that I thought I might possibly want to see - this and "Independence Day".
I watched (started to watch!) this one, despite the bad reviews, because I've already seen "Independence Day"
Do you want to know when I stopped watching? When the rescued daughter is sneaking back to her father through the forest - obviously, this needed to be done quickly, quietly and under as much cover as possible - which is why she wore a bright red wind cheater and ran screaming through the forest shouting "DDAAAADDDYYYYYYYY !!!!"
I'm not saying it isn't everyone's RIGHT to say that they enjoyed the film - if they did enjoy it - but GOD........ I haven't seen anything to redeem it! How can you like it?
PS. One other thing - if human blood DID attack an alien disease - wouldn't it be the white blood cells? Not the red ones? Fuhhh....why am I even bothering to wonder? LOL
I'm signing off now to watch the last half of "Indepence Day"
its a sci-fi original, you know what you were getting into: 2 hours of crap with out of work actors.
The Force will be with you.
Haha, wow. Dantsea is so sensitive.
