Review of Alien Outpost (2014) by Tedrico L — 16 Mar 2015

ANOTHER TEDDY FLIX MOVIE REVIEW: "Alien Outpost (2015)".

MILDLY ENTERTAINING! A FEW GOOD SPECIAL FX BUT TOO MANY SOLDIER INTERVIEWS! LACK OF STORY PLOT & DECENT ACTING RESTRICTED THIS FILM TO BARELY WATCHABLE STATUS.

PLOT: 2031: the world's cities lie in ruins. Alien invaders known as 'Heavies' have mounted a devastating attack. Mankind barely prevailed but enemy survivors remain hidden amongst us as a new war on terror rages. In the aftermath of the first contact war, a series of remote operating bases are created to defend the planet. Three Seven is the deadliest, positioned in the most hostile place on Earth, as a documentary film crew is sent to record daily life in Outpost 37, where the men, led by hardened commander Captain Spears (Rick Ravanello), are under constant enemy fire.

REVIEW: When the War On Terror in Iraq meets the "Battle Los Angeles What If ... " scenario, this is what you get ... "Alien Outpost", also known as "Outpost 37" in Europe. The first opening minutes of the film gets you pumped up and I mean "District 9" pumped, but unfortunately ... the next 70 minutes. almost slow down to a snail's pace before picking back up in the last 10 minutes. This movie is good but not very good or excellent, as the official movie trailer leads one to expect. My main qualm against the direction of this film, is that ... everytime the "Heavies", which are the alien race soldiers warring with man kind , begin a battle action sequence, then the film reverts back to scenes of a military journalist interviewing our American troops. That is just plain, Not How It's Done. If I wanted to watch the Wayan's Bros. "Haunted House" all over again, I would have. I truly expected this film to be Epic, but ... it barely RATED 3 STARS in my book. NUFF SAID!
