lampbizkat Dear oh dear..that's the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Alien Apocalypse. Words just allude me when I try to come up with an accurate description of how terrible this movie is.Yes I do realize that it's a B movie..and it was made for TV on a budget fronted by a minimum wage McDonalds worker but honestly this is the best script they could come up with?! The special effects are just to say the least are..THE WORST SPECIAL EFFECTS EVER USED IN A MOVIE period. I challenge you to find a movie with worse special effects than this piece of crap. This movies' special effects make Shark Attack III: Megaladon look like a 200 million dollar industrial light and magic picture. I'm not even joking..when I was a freshman in High school we made some scenes with 3d Action Max and my reels were on par or better than the special effects of this film. Had they of put some paper machete onto a tall guy and had him growl it would probably have been more believable and scary than the aliens in this movie.It's not even entertaining. A good B movie is always a terrible movie..but in a good way. Yes this movie does have it's fair amount of funny moments but most of the time it's just painful to watch. Also what the heck is the deal with this plot?!! So apparently some termites got a hold of some steroids and grew bigger than humans and now they have enslaved humans and want them to log for them..so they can..eat the wood??? What?? Apparently you can kill these termites with a wooden spoon to..and these termites managed to take over our planet? These aliens are snooty little buggers to. You ask them what planet they're from and the "snarl" at you. How rude! I know that I'm being a bit harsh but seriously!!! I can take a dump with my video recorder and have a more sound and interesting plot than this movie. I weep for the future of films if crap like this keeps getting made.

Paul Grace This "SCI FI Original" feature is definitely worth a single viewing, if only for the very real chemistry between Bruce Campbell and Renee O'Connor during their more intimate scenes.In fact, those scenes actually make this film enjoyable, despite the low quality production efforts and the (painfully) agonizing line delivery by many of the voice actors used during looping.I pray Campbell and O'Connor are paired up in many more films, because their real-life chemistry soared above the material, and somehow made this flawed C-grade (almost Z-grade) film enjoyable, instead of intolerable, even after several viewings.Best Line: "Your stupidity is terminal, and now, you're cured." Best Scene: Foreplay between Campbell/O'Connor on the animal skins in the underground holding cell.

fearfulofspiders Some films are truly worthy of 1-stars and not a two or three. While Alien Apocalypse is another one of the many Sci-Fi Channel "films" that are only good for background noise, it's also one enormous rip-off of Planet of the Apes with some serious problems -- mainly the acting.The writing isn't too bad with this movie. In fact, if one were to not have seen this film and read the script, the movie could actually be worth another star or two. Bruce Campbell is the only saving grace to this trash. Everyone else is questionable in if they're actually giving it their all, or just THAT bad. There's also some plot holes. Libby (the jungle girl) claims to know Campbell's character (Ivan) from somewhere, yet this issue is never resolved, only being mentioned once more near the end of the film, and again with no verification of what she means by this.The special effects, while typical Sci-Fi budget garbage, are not as bad as the other stuff churned from these companies. The termites are still bad, but decent enough for how much they probably cost. The rockets and tanks and explosions are another story -- how a small tank can hold so many bugs is beyond me; the thing's like a clown car.Overall, this is very bad film-making, simple as that. Budget is always one of the primary factors in films, and that can be part of the blame, but the acting strength of this cast and the script errors can be placed solely on the writer/director. Once again, this film is nothing worth more than background noise.

lordzedd-3 Okay, I was exited to hear Renée O'Connor was in this. I've been a big fan of hers since Xena. But I got to admit I was kind of disappointed with how the movie came out and the direction her character went. Like SARAH MICHELLE GELLER, I really can't see Renée O'Connor as the "damsel in distress" type character. Since I know she can kick ass and take names. Bruce was kind of wooden in his performance as well. No pun intended considering alien termites. But this movie does have a lot going to for it, it has great effects, a great cast. The story is scary possible and the acting was good for the most part. But poor Renée's character don't even have a last name, it's just Kelly. Even the guy who gets his head bit off early in the flick has a last name. If you are a fan of Renée O'Connor, then you might want to pass, but if you are Bruce Campbell fan, then check out this flick. 7 OUT OF 10 STARS.
