Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

brendanlarrow I was nervous going into the movie, as I heard mixed reviews on it. Was it perfect? No, of course not. But, the set and connections that you grow to some characters truly create an awesome environment! Only critique, I would say is the sound effects of the guns, as they seemed to lack that "boom" but, aside from minor CGI flaws, the movie was well produced. Would recommend.

tumtum57 This movie seems to be really underrated. Many people seem to see everything that's not full of expensive special effects as automatically sub par. Which is a real shame when looking at a movie like outpost 37 (aka: Alien Outpost).Although the acting wasn't always consistently top notch, it was good enough over all to keep me invested in the characters and story. The setting of the story was great. For a change humanity isn't the complete underdog from the get go, this perfectly lends itself to a scenario in which the protagonists get slowly and unexpectedly overwhelmed. I can't think of a single actor in this film which didn't deliver this feeling of a degenerating situation well.Like I said earlier the special effects are a bit sparse (I'm sure due to budget constraints) but the way the movie is set up they really worked around this problem. You get just enough to hook you into the science fiction setting.I really would like to see a sequel with a bigger budget to really show of the sci-fi elements and strengthen the setting. A personal preference of mine would be to use a lot of practical effects, although the makers of his movie already use some very good ones from time to time.Al in all I think this movie is definitely worth a watch, I would give it a 7/10 but to counter some of the naysayers (and because I really want a sequel I'll make it an 8/10 instead.

James Masterton I have to it I was a little skeptical when I sat down at home to watch this because most of what I read about it was not favorable, however I kept the usual open mind and switched on. One of the first things that caused a minor frown was seeing a 1950's built Bell chopper like those used during Vietnam still operating with the military in 2033, Very odd seeing an 80 year old helicopter still in active service, this was totally ridiculous but perhaps I am being too picky, maybe the US government couldn't afford to update them. Joking apart I decided to focus on the fact that this was a low budget movie and to behave myself. Anyway look at Pitch Black another low budget movie but now considered a classic by many including myself. Alien Outpost doesn't have a particularly original storyline or indeed style, acting was poor in places yet good in parts. Special effects were few but perfectly acceptable. Is this a great movie? No it isn't but it did do several things I require of any movie I watch and that is to keep my attention and entertained. Overall I found it very engaging and as it progressed, the characterizations became more interesting and a deeper sense of involvement and concern as to how things would turn out became more important to me. Although I didn't really recognize any of the actors which is not really an issue, the chap in charge, a Jean Claude Damme kind of (loosely lookalike amused me immensely. Will i ever watch this again? definitely

James A challenge to review, given that this film is pretty authentic-looking, raises some interesting issues and is at least competently done, and on occasions even impressive. This is not the first time that we seem to need to be reminded in a film context that the armed forces of the United States (most especially at the level of the ordinary personnel) are effective, brave and mostly noble in their intentions. "The Last Ship" has been doing something quite similar for the US Navy, and a little bit by the way has a pretty interesting pandemic-plague-apocalypse story tacked on. In the case of "Mankind's Last Stand" (aka "Outpost 37"), we have an alien invasion story with a twist relatively unique, given that the invasion was some time previously, and success with its repulsion has been partly, even largely achieved! That just leaves pockets of resistance to be cleared up - a dirty, thankless and often dangerous task now pursued out of the gaze of a planet putting its life back together, and seeking to put a very unpleasant setback behind it ASAP. The full story here unfolds via a pseudo-documentary "talking heads" mechanism (involving service personnel) which convinces pretty well and apparently has various time frames that leave we viewers a little ensure as to how far along the story the film is going to take us. It is more than half way through that we finally learn that the "US" in USDF does not stand for "United States" (shades of the USS in "USS Enterprise" - and a reasonable enough plot device given the goal of the movie). Since both alien invasion and (mainly) United States forces are involved, it is clear that this is not entirely new territory for a film. You've got series after series of "Falling Skies", plus "Monsters", "Battle: Los Angeles", "Cloverfield" - even "Independence Day" and "War of the Worlds" to choose from. Hence those who like comparing alien invasion movies, or are even carrying out a study of them, will certainly add "Outpost 37" to their collection, and probably even be pretty satisfied. The bigger question is what everybody else should do! It's not especially that "Outpost 37" is obviously a worse film. It really isn't, even if it is a modest offering that relies on (sometimes quite thought-provoking) storytelling and realistic scene-setting rather more than a grand scale or special effects. It's just that it got to the cinemas rather later than the others mentioned above, and perhaps after our appetite for this particular kind of movie has been satisfied...
