Protraph Lack of good storyline.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to what it was like to watch it for the first time.
dobner I believe the intent of this movie is to show how regular people react to desperate situations between each other. Although the title would indicate otherwise, it really is earthling against earthling in this film as the major source of conflict.This movie suffers from unnecessarily drawn out scenes that detract from that goal: the extended bar scene in the beginning, the sex scene in the beginning, any of the fighting scenes. The alien vessels and special effects were hokey. If I had to say one good thing about this movie, it is that most of the major characters died leaving no one for a drawn out ending.
Rich Wright U.F.O is a real mess of a movie... a mixture of genres that go together about as well as oil and water. On the bright side though, it's a MUCH better film than the opening moments would suggest. During them, we see a bunch of idiots drinking at one of those awful rave parties, where they move like zombies and exchange the most pathetic chat-up lines ever. Then, we have two simultaneous sexual encounters... interspersed with footage of someone vomiting into a toilet. Nice. Fortunately, the next morning, the power goes out, mysterious ships start appearing in the sky... and things get a LITTLE more interesting...Everything here feels perfunctory... there are a few moments where we see people panic-buying, and turning on each other... but nowhere near enough, considering the situation. Instead, we get a few mildly diverting space battles, some oddly placed martial-art fights (Well, Jean-Claude Van Damme DOES appear for all of 10 minutes, they had to give him SOMETHING to do), lots of bickering and plenty of unnecessary ing characters. Injured little girl, and the 'comedy' duo of soldiers, I'm looking at YOU.It really is hard to make sense of anything that's going on. WHY are the aliens identifiable by a tattoo? WHAT is that damn preacher banging on about? WHEN the evil extraterrestrial girl has a chance to kill all the goodies, why doesn't she take it? Other not-so important stuff apparently includes where the UFOs came from, what their goal might be, what they look like when they're not disguised as people... etc. And as for the clusterf*** (Yep, I went there) of a conclusion... Answers on a postcard pls to tell me what the heck was happening. Be careful, though you may lose your mind trying to figure it out. Still, at least it's better than the Roy Chubby Brown flick of the same name. Now THAT'S a quote to put on the posters... 4/10
Peter Pluymers The making and showing of movies like "Alien Uprising" should be prohibited by law !! This was just terrible. "Alien Uprising" will go down in history as one of the most annoying and meaningless movies ever. And don't forget to mention the third-rate performances here. What's Jean-Claude van Damme doing in such an awful C-movie with probably no budget. I sincerely hope that they have returned the entrance fee of those who did the effort to go and watch it in the theater ! It really looked like a project of a student at the film school. I bet he failed his test with this anyway.The SF part is greatly limited and the used effects look like a Star Trek episodes from the 70's. The first half hour we look at the social life of some young people in a club and in the bedrooms where they are nagging and whining endlessly about nothing. Next there is a general power failure across the UK and the next evening there is a peculiar light shining and a reverse boiler appears floating in the sky.The rest of the movie is so badly acted and exaggerated. At a certain point there's a supposedly mass hysteria at a supermarket. The new release of the Playstation was a million times worse than this. JCVD explodes after being hit by a green beam ... very original. And Area 51 is also brought up. We can also ire some corny-looking UFO 's with tentacles flying around.The only positive thing I could come up with was the fight between Brosnan and an infiltrated alien.Good advice: do not bother to watch this. It's a complete waste of time and energy.More reviews at http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/
kosmasp Very bad CGI. That's one of the things you can expect, but you might have guessed that, what with this being a b (or even c?) movie! What you might not be aware of, is the fact, that van Dammes Daughter is in this along with Pierce Brosnans son. One thing this proves (especially in the latter case): Not every offspring of a Hollywood star gets special treatment. Or maybe the son didn't want to get any.The movie, which plays in the UK is very strange and almost has the charm to win you over. Unfortunately the characters are never warming up to you. While the twist might be a nice one, the way it is revealed is completely down-letting (let's get to the other room? Really? Really? No, I'm serious: Really?!)! But that is not all that might get you riled up. Van Damme is only in it for a couple of minutes and you wonder why he is there at all (I guess the casting of the daughter might have something to do with that).
