Alien Country

What a fun ride! I really wasn't expecting too much from this indie film, but I was thoroughly entertained! Kudos to. K. C. Clyde and Renny Grames who were delightful as star-crossed lovers caught in a crazy situation! They were so believable in their roles that I just got caught up in the whole story! The stellar supporting cast was just amazing/ From drop-in funny spots to the other regulars, every casting choice was spot on, It was a hit for me and ti will be for you, too! One point though. This is a funny move, but not a screwball comedy. The humor is organic to the plot! Well done! What else can I say? Rent or buy Alien Country now! You won't regret it!

I had never heard about this 2024 sci-fi comedy titled "Alien Country" from director Boston McConnaughey. And with it being a movie that I was not familiar with, of course I opted to watch it. And I will say that the movie's cover certainly was interesting enough.

However, writers Renny Grames and Boston McConnaughey failed to deliver a script that won me over. I gave up on the movie with 30 minutes left before the movie ended. But I have to admit that I was not impressed with the storyline one bit, and it just failed to entertain me. And with the movie being totally devoid of comedy elements, it was a dry patch to sit through.

While I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, I will say that the acting performances were good, despite the fact that the script failed to entertain me.

Visually, then "Alien Country" was good. The special effects were nicely made and looked good. But the effects had little impact on the movie for me, since the script was rubbish.

This was definitely not my cup of tea. And I have no intentions of returning to finish watching the remaining 30 minutes of the movie, because I just simply don't care about the characters or the storyline in the movie.

"Alien Country" was, for a lack of other words, generic and mundane.

My rating of "Alien Country" lands on a three out of ten stars.

My highest praise of a film is saying 'I want to see it again' and I want to see Alien Country again. I've followed the development of this film for a few years. I had really high hopes for Boston and Renny's first feature film, and they knocked it out of the park. The theatrical premiere was unreal, they even had the old car from the film in the lobby of the theater (with it's 1970s BYU parking stickers and all). The film is just an epic and fun ride with very rewarding surprises all along the way (my favorite of those surprises, without doing a spoiler, will just say 'The Final Headshot'). Excited for the next project from these two.

This indie film has some really great scenes. I found myself laughing out loud. I felt like the acting was good the cinematography was good.

I feel like the movie doesn't really feel like other alien movies. It doesn't take itself too seriously this is obvious at many different points in the film and through a number of different types of deliberate choices. Other indie films feel campy because the quality of the script, special effects, and talent is so low. This feels campy as a stylistic choice, they weighted the movie more towards fun than trying to convince you that everyone is going to die a gruesome death.

Overall it was a fun watch!

This is one crazy, braindead fun ride of a movie :)

What else would you expect from a director called "Boston McConnaughey" :)

To say it does not take itself too seriously would be the understatement of the year :)

You notice the love the filmmakers put into every scene - and most of them work, they either make you laugh (a lot) or scare you (well, just a little bit, it is a crazy comedy after all).

There are some plotholes and things that don't quite add up - but I didn't care, because the movie was so much fun to watch.

The actors are all very good and although the script is (intentionally) silly you do care about the characters they portray and really hope they all survive and also save the planet from an alien invasion :)
