Ataque Alienígena

In fact probably one of the better indie b movies for aliens. CGI was good, twist was good... but that is pretty much the end of the good and must be where all of the budget went. acting sub par but kept me interested.

4.9

For starters, this is a low budget C-grade (never heard of anyone involved in this film and even most actors don't even have an IMDb profile or photo) UK indie film, so any expectations of seeing a Hollywood quality production are absurd, and so are the undeserving 1's. Reviewers need to cut some slack for new film-makers, and take into consideration their experience and production value.

The directing from camera-work point of view was not bad for amateur (only 2nd full length film and 1 previous short) writer and director Neil Rowe, but he failed in directing his cast, especially Katherine Drake who was either adequate, or falling asleep. The writing was decent for an amateur, and the 84 min runtime would normally be acceptable for this type of film, but I felt with the slow pacing and the many long dragged out scenes, this film should've had either more content, or reduced to a short or 1 hour TV movie. There were also a few plot and technical issues. The dialogue could've also been much better as some of it was just cheesy. The sound was also off with muffled gunfire in some action scenes. On a positive note, what really stood out for me was the score, which was very eerie and fitting - a rare quality in most b-grade films, the visual effects, cinematography and those creepy af robots and aliens - of which were the main reason I kept watching. Even the gore was on point.

This film is not a 10 like the fake reviews, but certainly not worth the 1's. It's an honest and fair 6/10 from me. Click on my username to see any of my 1000+ ratings and 800+ reviews.

Cops arrest a man..."Lets shake the camera a whole bunch", like there's an earthquake. And when the camera isn't "shaking" it's wobbling around like that camera man is drunk. Made me feel seasick. The story and acting isn't that bad, not the best, but not the worst. It just really needed to be directed differently or by someone else.

...if you believe any of the praise that is here on this page. Poor casting, acting, writing and remedial CGI, but at least there's little of it.

I wanted this to be a good movie the first time I watched it in 2020, and I watched it again today in hopes that I had been too critical of it the first time I watched it. The aliens are the best aspect of this movie. In fact these are among the best of the best aliens I've ever seen. Whoever is responsible for creating these aliens is a freaking legend. These things creep me out on a whole other level. In most of the shots with the taller beings, I was shocked by how real they look. They are so well made, that it is borderline indiscernible from fact or fiction. If someone showed me some of those alien scenes and told me it was real, I would probably believe them.

Sadly. The acting is terrible. The lead actress is by far the worst of the bunch. Her body language does not mesh with her emotions at all. She's very disconnected and bizarre, and the other characters are pretty bad as well.

The script is terrible, plot is terrible, dialogue is terrible, character interaction is terrible. The constant attempts to save the other characters long after they reached the point of no return is beyond annoying. Enough of your morality nonsense.

Also the high strangeness and mysterious nature of these beings is also amazing. I am truly creeped out by them.

Also, someone should have told them that when you shoot a gun, there is recoil. Standing there still as a rock while supposedly shooting high powered rifles... horrible. Even paintball and air guns have a recoil. Too bad.
