Alien Agent

I sat down to watch the 2007 sci-fi action movie "Alien Agent" for the second time since it was initially released. I have to say that while I have watched the movie once before, then I couldn't remember anything from it. Hence, as I had the opportunity to watch writer Vlady Pildysh and director Jesse V. Johnson's 2007 movie again here in 2022, of course I did so.

Needless to say that it was because of leading actor Mark Dacascos that I opted to return and watch "Alien Agent" a second time.

The storyline in "Alien Agent" is rather generic, if I have to be bluntly honest. Sure, it made for an adequate enough viewing experience, but the storyline was not outstanding. So writer Vlady Pildysh didn't exactly manage to put together a storyline that was out of the this world - pun intended. The storyline is driven by a rather mundane and slow pace, making "Alien Agent" somewhat of a drag to sit through.

The acting in "Alien Agent" was adequate. While the movie was led by Mark Dacascos, he wasn't really given any opportunity to fully utilize his martial arts skills in the movie. Sure, there was a bit of fighting, but it wasn't sufficient for my liking. The movie also has Billy Zane and Kim Coates on the cast list, so there are some familiar faces on the screen.

"Alien Agent" is a sci-fi action crime movie, and as such I would have expected a bit more usage of special effects. However, they opted to go pretty low-tech here, and the movie was sort of suffering from that.

While watchable, "Alien Agent" was not an outstanding movie really. And I doubt that I will ever return to the movie a third time.

My rating of "Alien Agent" lands on a four out of ten stars.

First, the plot of "The Event" - the dying planet trying to assemble the teleportation device to beam their inhabitants to safety and the the evil faction going to kill us humans off so they have room on Earth - seemed a wee bit familiar. They stole it from here. This one came years first.

It wasn't a great plot to steal, but The Event could have pulled it off with better acting and a more logical, well written script. They should have known by watching "Alien Agent" that when you don't have a script worth jack you don't have a decent show. Unfortunately, they didn't learn that critical lesson.

Well, on to "Alien Agent." Yes, it is as bad as everyone says it is. Horrid writing, terrible episode, just abysmal. I have seen better from Sci Fi channel movies. It lacks even cheesy CGI special effects. The production values looked more like a bad Star Trek: TOS episode than anything else.

Don't ruin an hour and a half of your life by watching this Grade D turkey.

I bought this terrible flick suspecting it was a grade C movie, but might be good for a laugh or two.

I was surprised, it was a D movie and full of stupid remarks, forgettable characters, a plot that had an intelligent person written the screen play, might have worked.

How such worthless trashy flicks get the bucks to be produced, much less consumed by what must be children and adults with learning disabilities, I don't know.

The lack of imagination in how the invaders invade is depressing. They're all humans who have been killed, but somehow their bodies taken over by the invaders. I was unable to waste enough time to see this thing to its end.

It's a GOOD MOVIE.

Considering the budget, it was good. I usually think about budget when scoring movies.

This movie had a small romance, good action, acting was hit or miss, but Marc was fantastic as an alien hero cop who wants to stop an invasion.- That's my plot summary!

Hero, heroin were both likeable. You wanted them to succeed. Action and fights were good.

If you like sci fi and aren't a hipster, you'll enjoy this.

When a group of alien agents from a dying planet come to Earth under the leadership of Isis (Amelia Cooke) to build a portal to connect both worlds, the warrior Rykker (Mark Dacascos) opposes and defends the earthlings. He rescues the teenager Julie (Emma Lahana), whose family was murdered by the invaders, and together they try to destroy the portal and avoid the invasion commanded by the cruel Saylon (Billy Zane).

"Alien Agent" is an unoriginal and forgettable B-movie, with a terrible screenplay that begins the story like a sequel of a pilot of a TV show. The situations are only motive for car chases, explosions, shootings and stupid fights. The story begins with a car chase when two aliens fire their machine guns against Rykker but never hit the hero; suddenly one of them wisely jumps on Rykker car to struggle against the hero in a ridiculous sequence. The rest of the story follows the low standard. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "A Invasão" ("The Invasion")
