Alien Agent

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.

Other commenters may help here.

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.

Alient Agent sits somewhere between a good B grade and an average A grade movie.

The story goes as follows: An ancient, highly evolved alien race are searching for a new home planet. Being both intelligent and highly evolved they have made a decree not to settle any inhabited planets, which is good for us as Earth is only one of two planets that they have a hope of settling before their race dies out.

Defying the decree, a rebel faction on the alien home planet attempt to invade earth. They send in scouts (via some kind of heavenly projectiles) who have the ability to reanimate human bodies with their life force (once the human has died of course) thus taking over their humanly appearance and conveniently making all the aliens appear as humans for the duration of the movie.

These aliens are stronger than humans and have other neat abilities, like regeneration and psychic awareness, their aim is to build a portal to their own world, enabling them to send in their armies and take over the earth - presumably sending everyone by meteorite is too difficult.

All is not lost! Some good guys get wind of the evil factions plans and send their best agent, the 'lone ranger' named Ryker (Mark Dacascos) to stop them.

All in all the movie is fairly enjoyable. There are a few inconsistencies, but for the most part its fairly well put together. There are plenty of fight scenes, most of them being fun to watch even if slightly predictable. The one notable exception being marred by poor speed editing - director please note: Mark Dacascos is fast enough! Marc Dacascas plays the lone crusader well and his unlikely sidekick Emma Lahana (Julie) did almost too good a job at times, switching demeanors so fast it was hard to keep up.

Its lack of big CGI animations and special effects works in its favor for the most part, the movie seems better for it. In fact some of the worse parts in the movie are when the utterly unconvincing CGI effects are used to heal Ryker (don't worry - there aren't many), I can't help but think it would have been better left to the viewers imagination.

I personally wouldn't buy this movie but it would be a good one to watch on TV or rent, especially for sci-fi fans.

A bunch of aliens come to earth looking to colonize the planet (damned aliens!!). A "good alien" played by Mark Dacascos (who is the Chairman on the US version of "Iron Chef") comes to fight them because the good aliens think they can colonize another planet, and that will not involve wiping out all of humanity. But the weapon of choice for these aliens is machine guns... and man, do they love their machine guns! No laser beams for these aliens! The good alien meets up with a girl played by Emma Lahana, the Yellow Power Ranger in the Dino Thunder series, and she is just as cute and hot as ever, even though they gave her the single most ridiculous body double/shower scene in history (it looks like the body double was from another movie!).

So, sounds fun? Well, it is. If you're expecting greatness -- or even sense and continuity -- steer clear, but for a fast-paced little sci-fi action flick, you could do a LOT worse.
