The Exterminators

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.

Invasion Roswell (2013)

** (out of 4)

Mildly entertaining low-budget film from SyFy. The plot itself is pretty simple. An elite group of alien fighters are forced into retirement because the jerk higher up feels there won't be an alien invasion. A short time after that the aliens do attack. The elderly alien fighters decide to team back up to go after the green men. INVASION ROSWELL isn't going to be mistaken for THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL but if you enjoy this type of low-budget film then this one here offers a few fun things. As you'd expect, the special effects are pretty bad from start to finish and in fact a few of the earlier ones seem to have been a tribute to the visual style of an Atari game. The effects are laughable at times but then again you don't really watch these type of films expecting ground-breaking work. The two most familiar names in the cast are going to be Denise Crosby (PET SEMETERY) and Greg Evigan and both of them offer up good performances but so do the rest of the cast members. The performances were certainly a lot better than you'd see in this type of film. The biggest problem with the movie is that there's just not enough fun. The film starts off pretty well as we see the alien attack a man by blowing his head off but this type of effect really isn't seen again. There certainly aren't enough invasion scenes and there's just not much going on here to really draw you into the film. INVASION ROSWELL is slightly entertaining as long as you don't take it too serious but at the same time there's no question that more could have been done with it.

This movie is a blatant rip off of Independence Day, even down to the screwball pilot who says he was abducted and no one believe him...Randy Quaid did it a bit better than this stand-in replacement!

The storyline just like Independence Day involves a romance, this time between two of the retire team members and also adds a little love triangle that never really develops except for one small reference in the climax of the film.

Because I have repeatedly watched Independence Day there were no surprise except the transformation of one team member, but they was kind of predictable from a earlier scene. For someone unfamiliar with the earlier movie, it was still a very predictable storyline.

It was not a bad movie, but I would recommend that you watch the REAL Independence Day instead!

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.

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.
