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.

My brother picked this one up from a bargain bin based on its horrific DVD cover and the film delivered. Horrific CGI even for 2002, bad acting, horrific script, plot holes, full of errors, everything you'd expect from a TV movie sequel and it was a lot of fun. Only an idiot would go into this film expecting a multiple award winning, summer blockbuster of the year. If you are able to not take this film seriously, you have an entertaining Thing/Terminator 2 esque (in the loosest sense) sci-fi flick full of great action sequences and classic clichés. Recommended for fans of 80s/90s action films and Roger Corman's work.

I have been a fan of B movies since childhood. So, I have watched enough of them to know when a movie is a good B movie and just plain pathetic. I have to be honest and say that Sci Fi turns out many sub par, uninteresting movies. Some of those movies are poorly made carbon copies of good movies.

I saw the first Interceptor Force and thought that it was pretty good. I don't know what happened here, but this was just lame. Interceptor Force made me an Olivier Gruner fan. This movie almost changed that. The CGI effects were good considering this was a low budget film, but the plot was so thin. At least Olivier provided eye candy for the girls and Elizabeth Gracen kept the boys happy.

If you are an OG fan, this is not the movie to watch. He does have good ones, but, do not look for them on Sci Fi.

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!

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.
