Aliens in the Wild, Wild West

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.

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.

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.

Oh my. Husband found this and we are currently watching it. Everyone else's reviews are spot on. I had nothing to add except that the baby alien sounds like Elmo. Some voices were clearly dubbed. Odd little movie that we will enjoy for all of its terribleness. We are surprised that no one in the Wild West has commented on the girl's exposed midriff. The "smart" kid keeps asking dumb questions. He is fully aware that they are in an older time but he asks if there is Chinese food delivery. Maybe he's just being a smarty pants but he has no inflections in his speech so who knows. I'm glad it's less than 90 minutes long.

I knew I was in trouble within the first minute or so of this film. Well, technically I knew even earlier than that since I was aware this was a Full Moon release...but anyways. The two main characters are a teenage boy and girl. Their father was played by some guy with a very European sounding name. He must have had a heavy accent or something because they dubbed another voice over his. Talk about irritating.

This is your usual Full Moon/Kushner-Locke low budget nonsense that some of us are sadly all too familiar with. The two teens end up at a deserted Wild West town with their parents. The girl steps through a floorboard in one of the buildings. Her brother spots a strange-looking device and decides to push a button on it. Next thing you know, they have both been transported to the 19th century.

As if that wasn't bad enough, a UFO crash lands nearby and it's up to the two kids to save the aliens from the local townspeople. It pains me just taking time out of my life just to type this.

The only (and I do mean ONLY) reason anyone might possibly want to see this is to see Carly Pope before she was on the TV show "Popular". Compared to everyone else, she looks like Meryl Streep doing a school play with sixth graders. 2/10
