Alien Invasion (2023)

Review by meddlecore

Alien Invasion

2/10

Get To The Freakin' Invasion Already...

For a film that's only 70 minutes long...it seems bad tact to have nothing happen for the first 25 minutes.

Which is how long it takes a group of college students to release a fully formed alien, from a small extraterrestrial egg of some sort.

Bad acting aside...the real crime here is that there isn't even any alien invasion at all.

Rather, just a single alien, lashing out, after being brought to Earth against it's will.

And the alien isn't even very original either.

As it's just a bargain basement cross between a Geiger style Xenomorph, and a Predator.

That being said...the alien is definitely the best part of this film.

Despite the fact that it is occasionally rendered with CGI.

Unfortunately...the entire plotline of the film is utterly pointless.

Mainly because it is so empty.

Void of any sort of nuance...or attempt at development, for that matter.

Making it all one long episode of regurgitated high concept trash.

With the plan the characters enact being so nonsensical...it would be humourous...if it wasn't so boring.

It's pretty sad that the effort I put into getting through the film, is more than the writers put in to come up with a competent storyline.

However, there are some funny one-liners in it, at least.

But their laughability is likely a result of their piss poor delivery.

Is this by design, or incompetence?

You be the judge.

I recommend skipping the whole thing altogether, though.

Because it really is quite bad...and not in a good way.

2 out of 10.
