BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
fredf-67149 Give these guy's a break, even the less capable actors throw there heart into this production. Plus the 'Bikini' clad babe role goes to Bali Rodriguez, Hubba Hubba. Once again despite her slightly awkward performance, her enthusiasm makes up for that. Hey, let's face it, screen-time with Bali Rodriguez could hardly be wasted. Also her make-up and costume are great for all the right reasons. I could go on and on about Bali Rodriguez of course, who wouldn't enjoy that. There were other actors in it, and kind of like an illusion, if you stare really hard at the screen for 20 minutes, you start to notice them and not her. Then like a Random Dot Stereogram they shift out of focus and you can only see her again. I digress, back to the other stuff... the jungle location is beautiful, the plot engages just enough to keep you interested. There is enough pace to carry the film. The sound and lighting are good throughout. The plot twist at the end 'though pretty obvious' is delivered well without added cheese. Are some of the scenes a little too long, yes... is some of the acting less than 1st class, yes. But for a $1,000,000 I'd be happy if I could produce this. Finally the right people die, and the right people live, but crucially.... the characters are developed enough to care about what happens to them.Hmm, what else, oh yes, I should have mentioned for all those Bali Rodriguez fans that Bali Rodriguez is in it! Which she is! What's that? I already mentioned it! Oh right? Er... well I guess I am done but for the scores then.So for the film I'd give 'eight' out of 'ten' (if you like B Movies), and out of 'ten' I'd definitely give Bali Rodriguez 'one'.
unbrokenmetal Aliens are invading the earth, and winning the war. Several 'arks' are leaving earth to ensure the survival of human beings elsewhere. Two of them, the 'Isaac Newton' and the 'Albert Einstein', crash on a jungle planet. It looks like paradise only at the first glance, but actually it's full of hostile aliens. The survivors have to fight together against invisible enemies, the so-called Chameleons, ed only reluctantly by a local humanoid race.Adrian Paul as Frank Baum plays the military leader of the team, who was on the 'Albert Einstein' only by accident. Richard Grieco as Captain Crowe doesn't have a good role: he is carried around injured half of the time. Bali Rodriguez as green skinned alien woman Lea is a winner. Gray Hawks as TIM, an android in the tradition of Star Trek's Data, handles the difficult part very well, not too robotic.This is actually a nice B movie, a survival challenge against various aliens, and although most of them are humans painted in funny colors, they also added a few CGI creatures from giant spiders to giant lizards, creative for the low budget.
Vincent Black So you can best understand the title of this review, let me explain Thunder Levin's "Sharknado". The film features sharks that wait around for Pacific Ocean hurricanes to pick them up and deposit them in Southern California. It features a great deal of dry land shark attacks and even one shark that is able to climb a nylon rope.Thank GOD none of that occurs in "AE: Apocalypse Earth". This movie starts with the Earth under attack by aliens and Noah's Space Ark leaving with some grouchy mercenary who just wants to get back to Earth. What no escape pod?The effects are very poor CGI, so don't expect much there. The one- million dollar budget, must have been spent on the body spray for Bali Rodriguez. Most of the time, she is on screen makes me wonder, if they glued the bikini to her nipples. As much time as she spends in the water, they should have use water proof body paints.The explosive crash of the ship makes you wonder how anyone survived without a scratch. There were other flaws, other than the acting, some geeky science that will make even the amateur star gazer laugh. When the crew from the two ships talk about their destinations. The first ship was heading to Alpha Centauri and they state that it has 3 star system but Alpha Centauri is a binary system with only two. The other group say they left for Barnard's Star and claim it is a binary system. Barnard's Star is a red dwarf star about six light-years away from Earth.I caught this "Jane of the Jungle" epic on Netflix today. I guess it's not like I am out any real money. But I wouldn't expect anyone to enjoy watching this unless you are into low budget Tarzan movies.
chrisduwe Can only review the first 12 minutes as it was so poor I switched it off. The movie starts out like you've just switched on the TV and a cheap SCIFI TV episode is half way through, after 2 minutes you wish it was 90% through after a few more minutes you that you have the power to end your own misery. I chose to do the washing up instead, I'd advise watching paint dry or cleaning your WC would slao be more entertaining.Why bother with character development, plot or even scripted dialog when you can make a remake of an episode of star trek the next generation and sell it as a movie.
