    Worst movie I have ever watched!!

    Please if you value your time to be entertained DO NOT watch this. Seriously the worst movie ever. I am trying to figure out how they even spent what the budget for the movie was. It is a bunch of scenes of pure nonsense, don't be fooled by title as I am not sure where science fiction is. Seriously not good!!!! Apparently I have to have ten lines to review this movie, but how much can you write about something that is this bad? If I was the director I would petition to have my name taken from this used toilet paper of a movie, in fact if this movie was toilet paper it was used many times! What is worse I still have one more line to write about this feces of a movie!

    Worst Film Ever?

    Has to be a candidate for the worst film ever, the cast have no acting talent at all, the script has more wood than the Amazon and the pace of the film is slower than a Trabant.. total waste of eight pounds that the DVD cost. The film preview on the back of the DVD claims to be about UFO's yet the first half of the film contains none or seemingly anything leading up to them. Just some talentless "actors" going through some Shakespeareanesque wordy scenes seemingly trying to make the film look arty. (probably pushing things to actually call this rubbish a film) If your looking for entertainment go paint your shed or something. It will be far more entertaining than this dross.

    Avoid!!

    What....the....hell?

    OK, what the hell did I just watch? What is this crap?

    Those who gave it high score, were on drugs. This movie doesn't deserve more than 1. It makes school plays I was on elementary school seem Star Wars-level compared to this.

    So, it's about UFO invasion on England............. and it's not about UFO invasion. Seriously, the beginning is TERRIBLE: we see a bunch of people being in a club drinking, dancing etc. and then going to home and having sex, while there is an implication about UFO.

    The acting was bad, the script is terrible, the dialogues are badly-written and badly-executed from the actors, who are very unlikeable and pretty much the whole thing is a big mess and I couldn't stand the directing and the camera shots, being all moving and making me feel dizzy. And how in the unholy name of the Great Old Ones did Van Damme got himself into this mess? Really slow time 'till the next Expendables, hmmmmmmm, monsieur JC?

    I could say that this is close to "The Room" in terms of awfulness, but with "The Room" you can a crapload of laughter from its awfulness and make jokes about it. But this doesn't even make you laugh. It makes you sick and disgusted from you see. This is one of those moments that movie piracy can save you and your money.

    Also, to the people who say that Sci-Fi doesn't need very good visuals and CGI and such: yes, you need them. Not Cameron's Avatar-level, mind you, but Sci-Fi is a genre that DEPENDS on good visuals. This isn't the 60s anymore where you had cheap-looking costumes and plastic masks and gloves and call it an alien. I remember renting a movie with friends from the video store, after university, called Alien Raiders. And even though that movie is bad, it has some entertainment value that is good to watch with friends, with pizza and Coca-Cola and make fun of it. This one makes you stop the movie and watch Mars Attack!, War of the Worlds (not the stupid Spielberg one), the old V, The Thing, Final Fantasy The Spirits Within and have more fun.

    This one doesn't deserve to be downloaded via torrents at all.

    A bad film, but not quite as bad as some would make out

    If you check out the other reviews of UFO, it would seem a fair percentage of viewers have given it a critical 1/10, meaning it's probably the worst film ever made. Is it? No, it's not, but that doesn't mean it's particularly good, either.

    In fact, when it began, I quite liked it. The characters were nice and the banter between them realistic and amusing. However, the fact is that the idea far exceeds the budget. The titular 'UFOs' only make two appearances in the first hour, leaving much of the setting in people's living rooms. The story focuses on the effects on the everyday population at seeing giant UFOs hovering above the cities (when you start to see a bit more of the aliens near the end, there's a definite resemblance to the Skyline monsters). The director tries to make up for this by long rambling scenes which don't really go anywhere, plus (attempted) 'cool' camera angles where the camera rotates around people and is placed at funny angles. However, when the setting is simply someone's kitchen, it's about as stylish as waving a camcorder around in your Nan's house.

    Many people have criticised the acting talent on display here. It didn't bother me that much. Sean (son of Pierce) Brosnan is the star and puts in a good performance and everyone seemed to play their parts accordingly (what else do you want/expect in a low budget B-movie?).

    Perhaps what most people hate about this film is the way it's advertised (and ignore the not-so-subtle posters for 'Airborne' by the same director). If you look at the UK artwork to support it, you may be duped into thinking it's some sort of Independence Day style action romp, starring Jean Claude Van Damme. However, the 'muscles from Brussels' is only in it for about ten minutes and his part is little more than a cameo (some of which he doesn't even feature in the same shot as other actors, making it look like he filmed his scenes on his own somewhere in Hollywood).

    I can't really recommend this film, even though it's not quite as bad as some are making it out to be. If you like B-movies, then there's better about. Sadly, what could have been a decent little B-movie never had the right budget to really live up to its promise.
