Beau_Jangle When you ask casual movie fans what their favorite movie is, you might get an answer like this: "Uh..I dunno...Jurassic Park 2 was cooler than the first... but Gladiator had people getting their heads cut off... and Scary Movie rocked, man... that movie is so funny." So what the hell do they mean? Well, beats me. Not too long ago, we were having a "philosophical" conversation about movies, when the subject came to Sci Fi. We were arguing which one was the best. One of my friends said, "Well, I gotta admit, the first Star Wars is a classic, but the prequel has its moments." I swear a tear came to my eye. I never thought I'd have this kind of conversation with one of my friends.My point here is that Alien Armageddon is a classic even to people who don't know Casablanca from Scooby Doo. It has everything you could possibly want: action, romance, cool creatures, quotable dialogue, a great score and many memorable moments. (Seriously, though, I don't mind aliens.) All this in a non-violent, non-racy, perfect-for-your-wee-ones package.There's a lot of awesomeness to this movie, and I would pass the limit of 1000 word before I could explain it all. The fact of the matter is, there's a lot of greatness to this movie. There's probably more greatness to this movie than there is to your LIFE. (Don't feel bad...) I used to be a fanatic. I used to know everything there was to know about Sci Fi. And you will notice that I didn't start my review by saying I was blah blah blah in 1977 when Star Wars came out. The acting here is not what's important. It's about on the same level as old adventure films of the 30's and 40's except for a few notable exceptions (McEwan, Scribner and a few supporting actors). What makes this movie exceptional is the whole spectacle that unfolds. This is never boring, rarely violent and always a treat to watch. All the creatures, all the characters, all the action scenes, all of this movie is basically perfect. People criticize it as being a groundbreaking movie, as being just stupid mindless action. Well, you guys are right. But that's what this movie was set out to be, that's what it is and that's why I like it.If you haven't already seen this... Well ,you probably haven't seen much anyway, so rent this. If you have seen this, watch it again. I think I will. 10/10

DownScale2 Sure it didn't have the biggest budget. But it wasn't that bad. See for yourself instead of judging by reviews of people warped by multimillion dollar budget films. The story being based around the Nephilim, and the Book of Enoch was a nice touch. Plus Katherine (Jodie) is a babe! I would definitely place it in the "Horror Film" section due to the nature of a majority of the scenes. The effects are similar to that of what you would see from After Effects, and not your traditional Hollywood blockbusters. It's not as terrible as everyone says if you aren't trying to compare it to some Michael Bay film.All people care about anymore is gigantic graphics. Don't allow yourself to be persuaded by a bunch of people that live in a country that considers "The Real House Wives of (Where ever)", "The Jersey Shore", and "Honey Boo Boo" to be entertainment worthy of more than a Pilot Episode.George Noory cameo....need I say more? :D

kings_077 This movie gave me the shits, and if you saw it you'd know what I'm talking about. I can't believe they wasted over $800,000 on this. That money could have been better spent helping out the indigent. I got suckered into watching this because of some flashy CGI, but once I got it running on my television, I wasn't 25 minutes into the movie where I shut the TV off and went back to my computer. I figure, if a movie can't hold my interest in the first 15 minutes, then it isn't worth watching the next 60 minutes or whatever. And this is coming from a guy who's watched every Godzilla movie ever made. So if I'm saying this is a bad movie, then you know it's bad.

TheLittleSongbird I admit I wasn't expecting much despite some decent ideas. This is the second awful movie in a row that I watched, the other being Super Tanker, and both are in the top 15 list of bottom-of-the-barrel movies. The whole film looks slipshod, with some of the most amateurish special effects I have ever seen, and a soundtrack that was so obtrusive at times that it gave me a headache at the end. The script is not just forgettable, it is very cheesy and just atrociously written in general, even 6 year olds have written better, and while the ideas were good the story itself was tired and very dully paced, there was never anything exciting or thought-provoking and if there was anything that aimed to hit hard sorry but the only thing that disturbed me was how badly made Alien Armageddon was. The characters are not just stereotypical and some of the most one-dimensional and most irritating of any movie, and in all honesty I would rather sit through the worst high school production than see acting this atrocious and unprepared again. All in all, one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time, maybe I am taking Alien Armageddon too seriously but I do love movies when they're good and this movie doesn't live up to my criteria of good. 0-1/10 Bethany Cox
