Alien Country

Give it like 20-30 min. We all know the beginning of most films drag and build up a story. This movie was a pleasant surprise and worth while! Refreshingly quirky and genuinely funny! The performances were solid, they brought charm and authenticity to their roles. The 4.5 star rating likely reflects the fact that some viewers gravitate toward familiar faces, but this film proves that fresh talent can deliver just as well.

The concepts around space-time were portrayed in a way that felt both grounded and imaginative. The unique approach to the alien technology and method of travel added a creative twist that set it apart from typical sci-fi fare. It kept us intrigued from start to finish. Walk into this film with no expectations and you'll find yourself enjoying it!

This is one crazy, braindead fun ride of a movie :)

What else would you expect from a director called "Boston McConnaughey" :)

To say it does not take itself too seriously would be the understatement of the year :)

You notice the love the filmmakers put into every scene - and most of them work, they either make you laugh (a lot) or scare you (well, just a little bit, it is a crazy comedy after all).

There are some plotholes and things that don't quite add up - but I didn't care, because the movie was so much fun to watch.

The actors are all very good and although the script is (intentionally) silly you do care about the characters they portray and really hope they all survive and also save the planet from an alien invasion :)

At first I thought this was a mockbuster, but 'Alien Country' is not, and neither is it trying to be another 'Alien' wannabe. This is a very different alien movie and a lot of fun, actually.

Jimmy (K. C. Clyde) is a dirt car racer. One night he finds a mysterious suitcase inside a dirt car. When him and his 'girlfriend' Everly (Renny Grames) opens the case, they find an unusual crystal. As the crystal starts to glow, a porthole to another planet opens, and unknowingly creatures from this world enters our world.

As the creatures start killing people, Johnny and Everly team up with a friendly alien to stop the bad aliens, but someone else is also after the crystal...

Being only 96 minutes long, 'Alien Country' is fast-paced and exciting. It is mostly a comedy, so off course the killings are also in a very lighthearted manner. The film features cool photography, cinematography and visuals, and the editing was also very good.

With likeable characters, a dashing cop in the form of Officer Kirk (played by the hunky Trey Warner), and lots of action, adventure and planet hopping, this was a lot of fun. There's also an interesting back story regarding Jimmy's dad. I really enjoyed this.

For a low budget movie, this wasn't bad. It didn't take itself too seriously, with a multi-part story. It even played into the bad acting as part of the lower-rent characters normal way of acting.

Then you have the end, which gave me a chuckle, and left me with a smile - it gets a star just for that :)

Alien Country made me lol many, many times with just a fantastic sense of humor right up my alley. But it didn't stop there, the scifi was actually intriguing and kept me engaged the whole ride. Acting, dialogue and characters were all very solid. I didn't wince at any of it - something I can't say for most of the big-budget blockbusters. The special effects were even top-notch. Thanks for a fun ride!

I'm trying real hard to come up with some negatives. Perhaps the flow of the movie was just a little off? Maybe I just missed what they were going for, but a few short scenes felt spliced in and unnecessary.

Excellent movie! Looking forward to more from these creators.
