Invasion Roswell

I guess we expect SciFi (Sorry – I CANNOT call it "SyFy") channel's offerings to be low budget, which means unimpressive SFX/CGI, and this is no exception. They have to work to a budget, so we have to accept that the effects won't look like Star Wars or Jurassic Park. However, what I can't forgive is acting that ranges from indifferent (Greg Evigan and Denise Crosby) to low grade prep school drama group amateur (pretty much the rest of the cast). Worse, the script was a joke. I think it was the late great Sam Goldwyn who once said of a script he was presented with "I could eat alphabetti spaghetti and puke a better script than this". Had he said this of this script, he would have been being kind to them. That just about sums up this film!

Another SyFy Channel movie to grace the screen, but unfortunately this one doesn't extinguish itself from the rest of the bunch. And it is essentially a very predictable Sci-Fi movie.

The story is about a group of middle aged, retired soldiers saving planet earth from aliens! A unit of extraterrestrial special operatives are sent into retirement, but have to don their uniforms and weapons one last time as aliens return to Earth to invade the planet for some unknown reason.

And as it is with these kind of movies, then you know the ending right from the very beginning. And true enough, the movie does not let down the audience on this account.

"Invasion Roswell" suffered badly from a predictable storyline and bad CGI effects, which essentially was the killer of the enjoyment for the movie, as the acting done by the people on the cast list was actually good enough - but they just had very little to work with.

It should be said that the alien suits were actually looking nice, although it sort of took the entire alien being away from the movie as they wore helmets and we only got to see one alien while it was undergoing an autopsy.

When we are first introduced to the alien weapons, I nearly spilled my drink. The weapons looked so much like those toy guns you can get for the PlayStation 3 Move controllers - into which you put the controller and wield the combined two pieces like an actual "weapon". It was hilarious.

"Invasion Roswell" might actually have something to offer to the audience that enjoy cheesy, campy and generic Sci-Fi movies. This is not a million-dollar Hollywood CGI-fest, so don't get your hopes up. For me, despite its predictability and cheesiness, then "Invasion Roswell" gets a 3 out of 10 rating - there is just something bizarrely entertaining about these campy movies.

Looks like a school project, hhe whole going is xhocking, the dialogue, thee acting, the special effects and the guns they use, which are supposedly better than normal weapons look like they were designed and made by Matel.

The story is just a straight rip.off from Independence Day, the alien weapons are exactly the same and a roswell toy aircraft is supposedly from the same species only years ago. God that is so original. Just to give you an idea of the differences between ID and this in ID thevdoace ships sre city size and blow up the white House and the Empire state, here they're house size a blow up a wooden house.

How this didn't get clobbered for copywrite ill never know.

Fair movie, lots of action. Could not understand how they got a away with so many of the Independence Day plots. Space Ship found in Roswell, flies a bomb inside mother ship, rag-tag bunch of over-the-hill cowboys and so on. I enjoyed it

If you cross "Independence Day" with "The Expendables" and leave out the stars and budget, you get a movie like "Invasion Roswell" a.k.a. "Exterminators vs Aliens" (2013). Aging tough guys have to fend off an alien invasion with plastic guns - but first, they battle back pain.

This is awesome: One of these elite old-timers is a lovably crazy Murdock-type - can fly anything, but isn't quite all there. He reports alien abductions and repeated "harbor tours" involving anal probes. Denise Crosby (Star Trek TNG: Tasha Yar) scans his head for an alien chip and uses an ultrasound machine like a tricorder.

The story is thinner than the patchy chin hairs of a Roswell alien, and the lack of budget shows not just in the tight camera shots of every micro-set (often drowned in fog machine haze so you can't see anything). But I still laughed a lot and marveled at this shameless blockbuster mashup ripoff.
