Alien Country

No idea what made me watch it. I mean it's filmed nicely, nice locations, some action and it may seam like it's a professional production when you see a few scenes. Well, it's not. Everything is terrible. Monotonic unnatural meaningless and unrealistic dialog, nothing makes sense, I am not even sure if it attempts to be funny, I don't really get how, there are scenes where there is no ambient sound at all and just dialog in pretty much complete silence which feels really weird and boring. It's weird how it can be so bad and visually look OK like a normal movie from a few first glances. I mean not a normal good movie, but at least something you could watch when you have nothing else better to do. It looked like that to me. Well, it's not like that. Unwatchable at all. It fooled me.

I though some more about it and well, some things like cinematography are good. That's what confuses me. Everything else is terrible, but maybe very few aspects that I am not even prepared to look for or even consider in a serious way are good and it's really weird, because the gap between those very few aspects and everything else is quite huge the way I see it and it's just not something I have ever seen.

What a fun ride! I really wasn't expecting too much from this indie film, but I was thoroughly entertained! Kudos to. K. C. Clyde and Renny Grames who were delightful as star-crossed lovers caught in a crazy situation! They were so believable in their roles that I just got caught up in the whole story! The stellar supporting cast was just amazing/ From drop-in funny spots to the other regulars, every casting choice was spot on, It was a hit for me and ti will be for you, too! One point though. This is a funny move, but not a screwball comedy. The humor is organic to the plot! Well done! What else can I say? Rent or buy Alien Country now! You won't regret it!

I had never heard about this 2024 sci-fi comedy titled "Alien Country" from director Boston McConnaughey. And with it being a movie that I was not familiar with, of course I opted to watch it. And I will say that the movie's cover certainly was interesting enough.

However, writers Renny Grames and Boston McConnaughey failed to deliver a script that won me over. I gave up on the movie with 30 minutes left before the movie ended. But I have to admit that I was not impressed with the storyline one bit, and it just failed to entertain me. And with the movie being totally devoid of comedy elements, it was a dry patch to sit through.

While I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, I will say that the acting performances were good, despite the fact that the script failed to entertain me.

Visually, then "Alien Country" was good. The special effects were nicely made and looked good. But the effects had little impact on the movie for me, since the script was rubbish.

This was definitely not my cup of tea. And I have no intentions of returning to finish watching the remaining 30 minutes of the movie, because I just simply don't care about the characters or the storyline in the movie.

"Alien Country" was, for a lack of other words, generic and mundane.

My rating of "Alien Country" lands on a three out of ten stars.

Give it like 20-30 min. We all know the beginning of most films drag and build up a story. This movie was a pleasant surprise and worth while! Refreshingly quirky and genuinely funny! The performances were solid, they brought charm and authenticity to their roles. The 4.5 star rating likely reflects the fact that some viewers gravitate toward familiar faces, but this film proves that fresh talent can deliver just as well.

The concepts around space-time were portrayed in a way that felt both grounded and imaginative. The unique approach to the alien technology and method of travel added a creative twist that set it apart from typical sci-fi fare. It kept us intrigued from start to finish. Walk into this film with no expectations and you'll find yourself enjoying it!

Two bike riding treasure hunters dig up a glowy thing in the desert. There is a glowy alien globe. With heat on their tail, they stash the suitcase in a car. The car is used in a demolition derby. The car crashes and explodes in a glowy flash. The crew finds a glowy mechanism. The glowy thing opens a glowy triangle portal to another world. There are other aliens. There is a good alien. There is a bad alien. There are alien dinosaurs that glows differently and explodes in glowy spores when they get shot.

It took until the girl singing country for me to get the double meaning of the title. These are country boys and girls dealing with the alien world. With the availability of computer animation, the difference between amateur and professional special effects is not as far as it used to be. One can still see the amateurism in the acting. They are generally amateur actors trying their best. The story is a mess. I would like for them to try harder with the good alien. Maybe they don't have the expertise to do makeup, but he could at least dress him differently. Sometimes, this group combo almost achieves some comedic turns. Again, they're trying their best. It's just not good enough.
