Have made no secret in the past of intensely disliking, and even outright hating a lot, a vast majority of The Asylum's (near-universally maligned for good reason) output, though there is curiosity as to whether they are capable of making something good and compulsive about their output's badness. Admittedly, The Asylum do have a small group of watchable films and the occasional (big emphasis on that word) above average one, unfortunately outweighed by the lacklustre at best and often dreadful films they churn out.

After seeing 'Alien Convergence', giving it a fair chance and trying to not let bias get the better of me, as much as it actually pains me to say it do agree with everybody else who not only found it an awful film but also one of The Asylum's worst. One of their most amateurish and intelligence-insulting certainly, all their trademark flaws are here in 'Alien Convergence'.

Just for the record, giving a film the lowest possible rating is incredibly rare for me these days (until seeing 'Geo-Disaster' a few days ago had not given out the rating in weeks), trying to be a fair reviewer trying to see the good in everything viewed. That rating is only reserved for films etc. that look like no effort or heart was put into it and like nobody was trying, a cardinal sin in film but actually not committed all that often. 'Alien Convergence' is one of the worst examples of this in recent memory.

Visually, 'Alien Convergence' looks incredibly cheap even for something made on a low budget. It's very drably and sometimes dizzyingly shot, incoherently edited (bacon-slicer-like) with glaring and unforgivably sloppy continuity errors and even the scenery doesn't make much impression despite being actually the least bad aspect of the film. Even worse are some of the most laughable and pathetic-looking special effects to be seen on celluloid, actually looking they were done as an afterthought and on the small remainder of the money they had left.

Can remember little about the music, which tended to be intrusive, annoying and out of place. The dialogue is utter gibberish and truly juvenile and unnatural, even by The Asylum standards and even in their best efforts the script is one of the weaker assets. How it was approved beyond first draft is beyond comprehension.

There is absolutely nothing thrilling, tense, suspenseful, emotionally investable or fun about the story. The predictability may have been forgivable if the film was actually engaging let alone exciting but it fails to be either throughout. Lets not get started on how insultingly nonsensical and ridiculous it is, things similarly are so vague and confused that coherence was also a major issue in places. The conflict had no urgency, imagination, fun or menace at all, it was all just dull and dumb.

As sort of expected, as it is a trademark of The Asylum it seems, there are illogical and irritating character behaviours that makes one endear to them even less in a film with not one interesting or rootable character. There is not one halfway decent performance either, almost like they weren't even trying.

Overall, awful with nothing redeeming about it, except that it is not quite as blatantly derivative as other Asylum efforts. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Asylum please give up your attempt to manifest your versions of classic movies!!! Please for the sanity of real n true sci-fi buffs!!! Not worth anymore of my time! Just stop!!!!

This is literally an attempt to trick you into thinking you're watching an Alien film or an anime in that universe or SOMETHING. Nope, just a literal garbage fire whos entire $12 budget was spent on a graphic that looks just enough like Ridley Scotts Alien to get you to click it.

The only thing worth looking at in this film is pretty Caroline Ivari. The plot is dreadful and most of the acting performances leave a lot to be desired. Cheapie special effects don't help.

Nothing more to add. Nothing. Emptiness. Why? Please, let me unsee this movie...

Pretty boring...

As Gordo Ramsay would say... "Bland" or "do you use any seasoning?.."

Good on them for getting disabled people to star in it.. but actors would of been a better idea.

Horrible movie. Too much personal drama, not enough action. Very few scenes of the alien creatures. Mostly talk, talk, talk and nothing realistic. Oh, the costumer should be fired, second asylum movie I watched thus week with so many mistakes in the military uniforms.

Lol this is like the worst movie I have ever watched, I saw this movie in amazon prime with 2.2 IMDB, me and my flatmate wondered how bad can a movie be, we were not disappointed 🤣🤣

ALIEN CONVERGENCE starts off with an alien invasion. Then, it switches to a group of pilots training to fly mind-controlled aircraft. Emma Harper (Caroline Ivari) is head of the project, when she's not busy bonding with her father.

The alien monsters can fly in and out of phase, making them invulnerable to conventional fighter jets. Not-so surprisingly, Emma's squad is called upon to come to the rescue.

This is a monster movie, and once in a while a monster pops up to remind us of this. Mostly, it's about Emma, her dad, and the crew Emma commands. Said group have disabilities, so, the underlying message is one of using our heads, and not letting obstacles stop us. That's fine.

What sinks this movie are the poorly-realized, CGI aliens. Let's face it, flying cartoons are not scary! At all! In a movie like this, it would have been better to not show them...

Complete disappointment. I really want to give this a 3 star, just reward the actors and crew that really seemed to try, but the script was complete and utter garbage. This was not a cheap effort, maybe not a huge budget, but there was outlay here. And the non-CG photography was not bad. But, as usual, it seems the writer was more worried about getting out 'something', likely due to connections or whatever, instead of taking the time to do it right. This could EASILY been a 4 star movie if someone had done the research to write a script with more realistic dialogue and events ... and doubled/tripled the time spent on CG.

2017, the year that we got "Alien: Covenant", and voilà, of course The Asylum brings us "Alien Convergence".

Why watch it, you might ask? Well, every now and again then The Asylum actually spews out a fair enough movie, and "Alien Convergence" might be one such movie. How would I know without giving it a fair chance?

When I sat down to watch "Alien Convergence" here in 2024, I had actually never seen the movie before. I did know about its existence, though, I just never had the opportunity to watch it. And thus, as I had the chance here in 2024, of course I did, even though it was a mockbuster from The Asylum.

The storyline, as written by Marc Gottlieb, was actually pretty straightforward. In all honesty, then the storyline was actually entertaining enough, especially if you enjoy campy sci-fi movies with alien invaders. However, I have to say that there was a lot of time throughout the course of the 87 minutes that the movie ran for that felt like pointless and irrelevant filler.

I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list in this movie. And that is actually something that I do enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie, believe it or not. And while "Alien Convergence" certainly wasn't a masterpiece of a movie, the acting performances were actually fair.

The special effects in "Alien Convergence" were exactly that; special. The CGI animation and renderings looked like something that was discarded from a computer game back in 1990s for being too questionable. And yet, The Asylum opted to give it thumbs up for a 2017 movie. I must applaud whomever approved the CGI effects in the movie.

"Alien Convergence" is a movie for hardcore fans of the mockbusters that only The Asylum can muster. So if you find some sense of perverse entertainment in those, then you will definitely enjoy director Rob Pallatina's 2017 movie.

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

The film has up to 10 minutes of normal or just plain funny scenes. Everything else is walking, dialogues, hands more hands and more hands. I think if you count all the interruptions with hands, there will definitely be more than 50 of them.

There is no need to wait for any plot twists, although there is one here, but it is made almost after it happened.

Also, there are many things in the words of the characters in relation to the situation that do not affect anything at all.

My favorite scene is where the girl runs for 10 seconds and our frame does not change at all, thank you for letting me watch the run

By the way, I collected about ten minutes of normal scenes in my video on the YouTube channel "Ye Bi Movie"
