Aliens: Zone of Silence

This film could have been made in a 20 minute short and it was the worst lost footage film I've ever seen.Also the film was very frustrating at times because just as you thought you were about to catch a glimpse of something for gods sake anything! There was nothing and thats exactly how this terrible movie ends.

I don't even know where to start... this is a disaster !

It's not the best but it is far from the worst. The FF genre rarely delivers a fully fleshed-out scenario or compelling special effects and so the skill (or lack) is whether the journey itself is watchable and whether there are enough twists or fresh ideas to sustain interest over the run time. On the negative side, a *lot* of belief suspension is required, the Mexican desert doesn't seem like the optimal place for a single American female to journey through. even more so with substantial equipment, supplies and no transport for the most part. The beautiful desert scenes mostly carry the film while the remote assistant's domestic footage seems largely out of place.

On the plus side, the lead actress did a good job, there were successfully-crafted moments of tension and a few flourishes which took my rating over halfway.

Could have been a good film. A woman strapped with lights and cameras and an overly sensitive microphone that you could hear her blink, walking around an empty desert. When something bad happens whether its aliens or falling down a low angle slope, the cameras unrealistically glitch and buzz. Very unconvincing found footage. Did I mention the stupid microphone is overly sensitive and has to be the most annoying thing I ever heard. Sensitive like those podcasters that over spend money on microphones and sound equipment just for vocals or stupid asmr crap. Overall the movies was more annoyingly obnoxious thab boring. Watch it if you love listening to every grain of sand crunch underfeet and hearing eyes blink during a walking simulator and oh yeah aliens.

Half the movie is a woman walking in the desert, and sitting inside a tent at nighttime. You'll hear a few growling sounds here and there along with camera glitches during the nighttime, which is supposed to indicate the aliens are nearby, but nothing beyond that. The movie has no tension, no atmosphere, no actual payoff for sitting through the entire thing. I was bored after the first 30 minutes. The acting was subpar, and the filming is what you'd expect from a found footage film. The one positive thing was the CGI for the ending scene. That was all right. And I emphasize "all right." The entire budget must've gone into those 2 minutes. Other than that, you'll see lights buzzing in the sky two or three times. That's the extent of the alien presence. 3/10. Unless you're an alien movie junkie, skip it.
