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.

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.

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 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.

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.
