Roswell: The Aliens Attack

In 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico, after a collision in the sky, two alien spacecrafts, one of them intact, and two dead gray small aliens are retrieved by and stored in a military base, waiting for some experts from Washington to analyze what they might be. Meanwhile, two aliens having human appearance arrive in the military base, both of them with a mission of activating a nuclear bomb and destroy Earth planet. While increasing the power of the weapon and preparing to activate it, the alien John Deerman (Steven Flynn) meets and likes the local widow Katie Harras (Greenhouse) and her son, Sam, and decides not destroying the planet. However, the other one, the sexy Eve (Heather Hanson), keeps resolute in the original plan of blowing up the planet. "Roswell: The Aliens Attack" is not a masterpiece or a movie to be nominated to an Oscar. Although using elements of many sci-fi stories, mainly the romance of "Starman", it is a good film. There are flaws in the story, but it is also very attractive and in the end it is a good entertainment. I believe that real fans of this genre will not be disappointed. There are some unfair reviews in IMDb. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Roswell: Ataque Alienígena" ("Roswell: Alien Attack")

Roswell: The Aliens Attack is a very good film that has a good cast includes Steven Flynn, Kate Greenhouse, Heather Hanson, Brent Stait, Sean McCann, Donnelly Rhodes, Ben Baxter, Robert Huculak. The acting by all of these actors is very good especially by Paré and Allen I thought The mystery is good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed good. The music is great. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Steven Flynn, Kate Greenhouse, Heather Hanson, the rest of the cast in the film, Action, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Mysteries, and interesting films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!

This was packaged pretty well and promised an interesting spin on an interesting story - the alleged discovery and subsequent cover-up of a crashed alien spacecraft in New Mexico 1947. Anyway what you get is rubbish of the highest order and as soon as the cheap "fluoro green eyes" special effect is used to identify the aliens then you know what you're in for. Two human shaped aliens walk out of the crash - one male the other female. Well the male falls in love with a widowed airforce base worker and the female goes on a sex spree, and there is much disagreement between male and female on whether to blow up the earth. Won't give away the ending but it is so loaded with sweetness you'll want to be sick. There's also a hand-held alien gadget which shoots people, uploads information, downloads information, fries peoples brains, and heals people (most with a voice that sounds like the "good morning" you hear in some elevators).

Take my advice - give this one a wide berth ...

Roswell:The Aliens attack is one of those films that is so poor is lots of different ways that it has a certain charm and you cant help but like it despite all it's faults. It is the story of aliens that land in Roswell , Where else!,and their mission is to destroy earth by detonating an atom bomb held on the army base big enough to destroy the earth. There are so many holes in the story that it would take ages to go through them but here are a few questions that have to be asked. 1.Why when the aliens had the technology to come to earth did they not have the know how to blow the planet up without using 1940's weaponary? 2.Why was the bomb stored in the middle of what looked like a school gym with the army's youngest member keeping guard? 3.Why did the widow take such a shine to the male alien when he hardly spoke and didnt even smile? Was she that desperate to get laid? 4.Who were the aliens that were found dead? These are just some of the questions that spring to mind and believe me there are many more. The acting is not bad at all ,which is a suprise considering the laughable script. If you can suspend belief in reality and the fact that story is so silly you might actually like this. 6 out of 10.

Two aliens, a man and a woman, come to Earth wanting to blow it up (you can tell they're aliens because they can turn their eyes green). The man alien befriends a woman and her son and changes his mind, but the evil woman alien stays with the mission, while dabbling in prostitution. Then the man alien has to stop her.

The corniest part of the movie is the little hand-held tool the aliens use. It apparently can do ANYTHING. All you have to do is hold it up, and it does what you want: uses tiny lasers to pinpoint a specific location on a paper road map, shoots people, whatever. Exactly what kind of technology is THAT? Why couldn't the aliens just hold it up and command it to blow up the earth? Instead they have to go to a military base and "recharge" an atomic bomb.

Definitely not high-quality material, but it's one of those movies to watch late at night when nothing else is on. I watched it just to see what happened, which I guess is good, because it means the movie kept my interest. I'll give it a solid 5/10 stars for giving me something to do.
