ctruth2 More ala "Blair Witch" crappola. Purposeful hand shaking camera - cut aways - dark on dark scenes – shaking camera action misses.Some directors seem to think this is compelling cinematography. Those of us who have seen "real" movies, do not!I did not pay to see the small part of this film that I could stomach w/o shutting it off. If I had, I'd be as outraged as I was with "Blair Witch".Don't waste your time or your money. If you liked "Blair Witch" then go for it…. Otherwise…This movie is not fit for consumption.

GShipe0000 The director and anybody else that had anything to do with this movie, if you can call it a movie, should be sued by everybody that watched that piece of crap because it's 90 minutes of their life they'll never get back!! I finally just kept watching it just to see how bad it could get. A 6 year old kid with a toy camera could do a better job. It's beyond words!! Who in their right mind would spend money to make something like this?? I still can't believe it!! The only good thing about it is that I know I'll never see another movie as bad as this one. I have now survived the worse movie that man has ever made and I lived though it...simply amazing!!

Raydio I really knew nothing about "Alien Origin" before sitting down to watch it, other than the title. After the first couple of minutes I thought this was going to be a "Predator" copy. Nothing could be further from the truth!After watching "Alien Origin" I'm left to wonder what was the point of this film? Was it to see how much boredom a human being can tolerate? Perhaps there's a subliminal message embedded in the film urging viewers to eat more vegetables? It certainly wasn't to entertain the audience with an engrossing tale and engaging dialog. I would love to hear the director being interviewed about his reasons for making this film, I'd imagine the conversation would go something like this;Interviewer: "Well Mark perhaps you could tell our viewers what inspired you to create Alien Origin?"Mark Atkins: "Actually, my sole purpose in creating this film was to see just how much life I could suck out of people - end of story." Interviewer: "That's a bit callous isn't it Mark, after all life is short."Mark Atkins: "Ehh, It's just what I do."Please, do not waste your precious life watching this film. If you really have 88 minutes to spare, why not clean out the garage, start working on last year's tax return, or better still, visit your sick Aunt Mabel, all of which would be infinitely more entertaining. 1/10

jvilliard Alien Origin is the love child of Predator and The Blair Witch Project. And let me tell you, folks, the offspring is not pretty. In fact, it's down right ugly.In the tradition of such films as Quarentined and The Blair Witch Project, the movie documents the mission of a group of soldiers who head off into the jungle and are never heard from, again. Of course, a camera with video documenting the events of the fateful mission, (thanks to the fact that the troops were being accompanied by a cute, female reporter and her trusty cameramen)is recovered some months later, and this supposedly the "actual footage" of what REALLY HAPPENED! And what wonderful video footage we have!!! At least a good hour of almost nothing but the soldiers marching through a rain forest in search of.... well, something. We're never really sure what the original mission is to begin with. The reporter tells us something, but she's quite vague. And the inane babble between her and the troops doesn't give much in the way of details on this matter. We do know that this eventually becomes a search party for two missing scientists who found something of interest and then disappeared themselves.But aside from those few points, we know NOTHING about this mission... except that it takes place in the jungle..... and that these people spend a LOT of time walking around in it.As the name implies, the troops and their media comrades eventually encounter aliens. Or, at least that's what we think they are. They do end up encountering a space ship, and they end up fighting... something. Is it an alien? Is it Bigfoot's cousin? Is it an angry fireworks salesman? Nobody can be sure, because the camera work becomes extremely jumpy and of poor quality. And we never get a look at what the threat really is, because the cameraman (who, if he was really in the media, would probably WANT to get at least a quick shot of an extra-terrestrial, because that would get him an instant bonus from his bosses when he got back home) is always shooting the reactions of the soldiers and his reporter-girl instead of whatever the hell it is they're fighting.This movie is bad so many ways that it almost isn't worth listing them all. The special effects are so low-budget, it's easy to tell that all of the explosions and rockets being fired are nothing more than fireworks left over from the Fourth of July (no, I am not exaggerating). The plot is almost non-existent. There is hardly any acting involved. The journey through the jungle is mind-numbingly long and dull, and the action scenes don't really provide any action; just confusion as to why they're happening and what's happening in them due to the poor camera-work and terrible jump-around editing.Don't bother with this movie.
