Escape from Area 51

Remember those old cheesy SiFi's that were so bad they were hilarious, well here's a modern version. With an easy to follow predictable plot, half decent acting, humorous, and lots of female cleavage, this less than average cheesy SiFi kept me chuckling and I watched it to the very end. BTW, Nov 2023 I just saw @klaushutchinson review and now I want that $100 you offered, ha ha.

Wow. Just wow!

Yeah, take heed and pay attention to the reviews here for "Escape From Area 51". Why? Well, because this 2021 sci-fi comedy is exactly as bad as the other reviewers make it out to be. And not bad in the way where it becomes hilarious to watch or enjoy, nay, "Escape From Area 51" was just downright horrible.

The storyline told in "Escape From Area 51", as written by Ted Chalmers, Eric Mittleman and Carlos Perez was just not delivering anything worthwhile, and it was a massive struggle to sit through this poorly written movie, which felt more like a college film class project than an actual movie.

Not only was the storyline a swing and a miss, but the characters in the movie were every bit as off target as the storyline was. So that combination didn't really make for an entertaining movie experience. The dialogue written for the characters matched the characters in pointlessness and stupidity, so that counts for something, I guess. The acting performances were dubious.

Then there was the special effects and CGI effects. Boy, that was indeed something else. And not in a good way. The CGI in "Escape From Area 51" was just something you'd see in an early 1990s PC game. I kid you not, it was that lame and bad. It amazes me how something that laughable makes it to the screen in 2021.

I managed to suffer through about half of this ordeal of a movie, then I was good and ready to give up on everything. So I left the movie, and I will never return to watch the rest of it, because I was by no means entertained by what transpired on the screen.

Director Eric Mittleman took a swing here, but everything fell short of delivering anything worthwhile.

My rating of "Escape From Area 51" lands on a one out of ten stars. Don't waste your time, money or effort on this movie. So of us did, in lesser or greater extend, so you don't have to.

I really don't understand the one star reviews here.. did people watch this with ZERO knowledge about it other then the name? Cheesiness, bad acting and "lame" special effects are not a reason to rate a movie like this low, it should be expected. I mean if you just look at the poster it screams all of those things. Its a sci fi spoof with a budget probably less then a minimum wage workers vacation fund.

Im not gonna go watch a slasher film and then proceed to give one star because there was a lot of blood.. C'mon people.

I think that a film like this, before starting it, the director and the production intend to make it disastrous. The actors are disarmingly rigid, the plot horrendous. I think this film would deserve zero as another very similar one for its sci-fi plot and acting achievements: Moontrap Target Earth.

I made it to 3mins 31 seconds. I'll pay anyone $100 a piece if you can make it further. What an absolute smoking pile of junk!! This is not "film making".
