.Although the casting suggests this movie was tailor-made for distribution at Sci-Fi conventions, INALIENABLE (2007) is a unique B-movie that marries genre conventions with courtroom drama. Star Trek alumnus Walter Koenig reunited with his Moontrap (1989) director Robert Dyke and roped in a bunch of fellow convention guests (from not only the Star Trek franchise but also shows such as V and Alien Nation) to bring his screenplay to life. Premiering online before eventually hitting DVD, the movie was made for approximately $1.5 million and the limitations of the production are evident in the handful of sparse sets and limited visual effects. At the heart of the movie, which is about a male scientists who is infected by an alien parasite and gives birth to a new lifeform, is mainly notable for a great, emotional performance from one-time Battlestar Galactica actor Richard Hatch. With an emphasis on drama rather than spectacle, this is a curious genre-hybrid with a surprisingly downbeat and sudden ending.

I watched this movie on Hulu because of the great list of sci-fi actors in it, and because of the subject matter.

But if Mr. Koenig intended for this to be a serious movie, he falls on his face. The acting is terrible, there is no character development, and the crude special effects and makeup make it look like something a bunch of kids did on a Saturday afternoon.

The film shows characters riding in a car, but it's done entirely (and clumsily) in CGI! Did they not have an actual road to film? And the makeup on the "alien" looked like something I could do at home with supplies from Walmart. The sets look as fake as those in a terrible soap opera.

I kept hoping it was satire and was waiting for the punch line, but no. The motivations of the characters are not consistent, and seem to change at a whim. The actors seem to be drudging through the script.

Unless you are a true masochist, avoid this movie. It will ruin any respect you might have (or had) for these actors.

Why that got awards and a high rating I assume because fanboys have little taste.

I only got this movie because I wanted Stat Wars of Gods and Men. Thus I got it direct from the studio... Considering the reviews I didn't expect much but after wasing a 295 min Dune which wasted alot of my time this ain't half bad. Yes the special effects are a joke. the Slow mo is really absurd and a few continuity errors. All off which Dune 2000 excels at (thats not a good thing) On an indie budget they did alot with very little..The only thing that primarily saved this was the better acting. There were a few off key acting bets but mostly is was rather good acting. True the Judge didn't seem to want on the planet but I'll give it a 6... Dune 2000.. eh I hope the Dune 2020 is better. The acting on that was so wooden. This one way better..

i just watched InAlienable and i really liked it. It did start of slow and the acting at times was questionable, but i didn't expect anything spectacular. The whole point of the movie is to get people away from the Hollywood type movies and open peoples minds, you should not expect much in the graphics and acting. However the acting in the movie was quite good. Richard Hatch however did an excellent job in the movie, probably the best i have ever seen him do. Overall i thought the movie was great and by far worth the 3 dollars you pay to watch it. I would recommend that everybody gives this movie a chance and watches it, you may be vary surprised.

Seriously? You are really saying:"The movie was very interesting as far as Sci-fi is concerned, but what really sold this film was the outstanding performance by Richard "Captain Apollo" Hatch"? The worst part of the movie was a really poor quality of acting. Story was somewhat interesting but everything else was close to ridiculous. Not that there is nothing that sold the film but the film is a shame. I feel sorry for Marina Sirtis and Eric Avari because they were the only ones that did do some actual acting. Yes, Courtney Peldon was sexy but in a bimbo kind of way - no real intellect detected. This movie was a great waste of time and if it was 1954 maybe it would be appreciated as a third class film.
