Review of Alien Nation (1988) by Rita Kempley for Washington Post — 29 May 2011
Alien Nation wants to be "In the Heat of the Night" as science fiction, but it's neither morally instructive nor prophetic. It proves a lumbering marriage of action and sci-fi that alienates both audiences.
It's too dull for one and too dumb for the other.
