Alien Domicile

-1 Star for the unnecessary and annoying flashback scene where mama thinks about her baby and realizes she might never see her baby again, which results in a huge power up moment where she acquires super human strength!!!

I wanted to give it a recommend for the ending but really the ending left me thinking like...okay this movie really wasn't that great.

I started watching this movie when my iPad battery was at 29%. I completed the whole movie when my battery at 22%. Easy to guess plot, no engaging scenes, with good background score. Casting could have been better. Overall, it's a below average flick. Fast forwa4d to watch it quickly.

The movie had some good elements, like the camera work, and the acting was ok. My rub is that nothing was explained, and some of the type casting was not done. For Instance, the military guy is supposed to be an Air Force Special Forces Master Sergeant: um, NO. To make Msgt rank you need to be gung ho, especially at that rank. This guy looked like he'd fit in more in a starbucks ordering a latte, wearing his beach shirt and crocs. He did not come across as a trained killer, and it showed in the fight scenes, as well as the poor tactics and gear: definitely not believable. No one seems to wonder where they are, or why. Plot twists just drop, with no explanation or backstory. Basically, I didn't care about anyone, or what happened to them. They did stupid things, and got stupid results. I'm 2/3 thru this movie, after stopping multiple times to get some kind of explanation of what's going on from Google. That should have been the director and story writer's job! I saw potential here but it just never developed. I was left with more questions, and not in a good way. Overall, I give it a 3; could have been a decent movie, but failed miserably.

This is a sort of zombies meet aliens film which made very little sense. I debated bailing after 10 minutes, but I kept think it would improve - it didn't. The characters were totally flat and lacked credibility. Technically this had nothing to do with Area 51 save for a intro shot of Groom Lake (it wasn't - you can see high tension power lines on the horizon).

The film is one hour fifteen minutes. I made it to the 40 minute mark on my second attempt. Although I got this movie from using a free redbox code, I guess there is no getting a refund on the one hour I spent trying to watch this movie.

To me it was reminiscent of SAW but a story never actually develops, they just remain in a room for the first 30 minutes. Then cross with Blair Witch project, where there is sense of fear and urgency, but without any discernable plot.

I could go on, but I think that will suffice for now. I've wasted enough time already. Just getting the warning out.
