Alpha Force

All the mistakes of the first film multiplied by two. Subtract Brad Dourif. And add an unwelcomed (not to mentioned incredibly predictable) conspiracy involving (gasp) the Russians! Don't make it obvious you guys read the Cold War edition of the `12 Step Plan to Writing Scripts' handbook . . . that's IF2.

The alien is female this time around (Species III?) whee! It takes on a human female form frequently for a Tomb Raider/Charlie's Angel/tough girl approach? Can I get a yawn for yet another gimmick?

Part of me wants to call it on being inconsistent with its predecessor in that the alien no longer seems to be able to exist biologically and as energy simultaneously . . . but frankly I don't care enough to verify that tidbit by watching the first film again.

This film feels even more childish than its predecessor. The plot honestly feels like two kids in the first grade talking about an alien:

Kid 1 - `Well, I'm gonna use my ultra-magneto-super-duper-ray-gun! That'll kill it!' Kid 2 - `Nuh-uh! My alien is immune to that! You can't kill it!'

And so the characters prove yet again that the thing is bullet proof. For all the gunfire and fights, there isn't a lick of intensity to the entire movie. Making a creature that can't be killed comes across as a whiny brat who makes up excuses for the damn thing to survive, and that is not intense.

If you know of two kids under age ten who like to one-up each other when they play war, watch them instead of this. It has to be more entertaining and less irritating.

This was a great movie for me because it had 2 of my favorite actresses. Elizabeth Gracen is wonderful, and did a good job in this movie. Her swimming scene near the end was really cool. Adrienne Wilkinson did well with a subdued role as a scientist, and still managed to show who she is. She was real cute at the end, when she got sexy, then embarrassed. The other main actors were good also. I'll probably watch it again.

I just watched the last hour of this on sci-fi channel and I really liked it. The special effects are bad, but that just goes along with most sci-fi movies these days. The alien was totally bad-ass and there was plenty of violence and gore. The high-tech weapons they used were awesome and original, the alien regenarting it's leg after it was shot off added to the problem of the unkillable alien.

From what I could see, the hero's were trappped inside a military base where there were nuclear weapons that they'd have to shut down. This movie is somewhat predictable, but isn't every movie these days? Just watch this movie expecting blood and a shape shifting alien hunting a group of commando's. What more do you want?

for a low budget film i must say that the special effects are actually good overall i actually think that this is better than the first, problem is that there was too much of a gap, and some things just didnt make sense. watch it and understand plenty plotholes but a decent script makes up for it

At one point, one of the American "Interceptor Force" officers asks a Russian officer "What are you going to do, shoot me?" The Russian, in a wery, wery bad accent, replies, "No, I'm not goink to shoot you."

What a sadistic guy! He could have saved that poor character the entire rest of the movie if he had just shot him right then and there.

And after you watch this movie, you'll wish he had shot you too.

Your only hope of surviving this movie is to warm up your best possible MST3K impression right from the first frame; otherwise, you are beink doomed!
