Aliens in the Wild, Wild West

Present day kids traveling back in time to encounter a UFO....that doesn't even SOUND appealing! But let me say, my kids absolutely LOVED it. They are 5 and 8. It is a kids movie and it is pretty harmless, although they did not like seeing the girl kiss the boy. They watched it 2 days in a row and wish they could take the movie to school to watch. I think they just liked the aliens the most. As an adult, I can't think of a reason to sit through it. Not even one! What special effects -- the spaceship actually had Christmas lights strung inside of it. The dubbing was annoying, the story and acting were even MORE annoying. I had to sit through it twice over the weekend because the kids liked it. Also, there was this annoying music playing during the entire movie. When I watched the closing credits, I saw it was a Canadian-Romanian production and that struck me as odd.

I don't agree with the negative reviews of this film. Some of which, were very contradictory. For a film made for children, this is very good and entertaining. This was NOT a high budget film so, expecting million dollar CGI or special effects is ludicrous. If you keep in mind the budget of the film, and the fact that it's a kid's science fiction film, it's a fun watch for anyone of any age. Due to its Canadian and Romanian look and feel, it reminds me of a really long episode of Goosebumps. I give it 8/10 for the reasons mentioned above.

This movie is total garbage! 3/10 for the fact that it has a few moments of the "so bad it is actually funny" variety. The alien costume and movements are so terrible! They only show it a couple times because they can't even make it move, and when it does they rely on weird slo-mo effects and bad music because obviously it looks too terrible in real time. Terrible acting, writing, soundtrack just an awful movie start to finish.

Where's the movie I have seen in a long long time. This movie was so bad I couldn't stop watching it. Makes me wonder how movies like this can even get funded. Must be some sort of tax right off. Even for a kids show it's bad. Bad writing bad acting bad cinematography. Bad bad bad.

I feel like a better person for being able to stomach "Aliens in the Wild Wild West" in its entirety. This is, without a doubt, one of the top ten worst movies I have ever seen - and I've seen almost every episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The acting is literally painful, assaulting your bowels like a rancid hot dog from the county fair. Taylor Locke (Tom Johnson) is the worst offender. Every line is delivered in robotic monotone. I'd rather sit through a fourth grade adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof than watch this again. Heck, I'd rather lick a public toilet seat. And a law should be passed that no actor may utter the conjunction "if'n" if they aren't going to at least attempt a southern accent.

That being said, I strongly suggest you watch "Aliens in the Wild Wild West". Watch it in a room full of your funniest friends and/or family, libations permitted. You will laugh. You will cry. You will run to the bathroom clutching your stomach, and you will have a deep feeling of pride when you make it to the closing credits.

Oh, and if "Jiffy" (the alien) is any indication of the other beings in the universe, I suggest we cancel all space exploration immediately.
