Alien: Rubicon

Like another reviewer I thought it was something to do with the Aliens franchise but this movie doesn't even deserve the title of movie, instead it should be called a hodgepodge of how not to act. All the main actors were over doing their roles, especially the man playing the helicopter pilot. Possibly the only actor who played their role correctly was the daughter, she sort of held back her "enthusiasm" and seemed the most normal.

Some of the special effects were good, possibly the only saving grace, though someone needs to learn how to do explosions properly.

All up a waste of money and time.

Don't waste your time watching this... Bad script, bad acting (really bad), bad CGI. What more could you ask for?

I could only stomach this for 10 minutes, then bailed on it.

Never saw the Alien. Never saw the Rubicon.

I went back and re-watched "Aliens" just to get the taste of this thing out of my head.

Don't get it confused with Alien: Romulus which might be a better flick.

This movie should be up for a Grand Prize in this year's Golden Raspberry Awards.

I wouldn't be surprised if it swept those awards and took home a bushel of raspberries.

It's that bad. Honest.

Take a nap instead of watching this, it will be time better spent.

You can always spot a poorly made film lazy direction, weak screenwriting, and uninspired performances. Casual viewers might be fooled into giving it four stars, but those who truly understand cinema see the flaws immediately. From the very first scene, everything feels off flat cinematography, predictable dialogue, and a lack of artistic vision. A great film is more than just aesthetics and spectacle; it requires depth, intentional storytelling, and performances that breathe life into every frame. This one fails on all counts.

The problem with bad films isn't just technical flaws it's the absence of passion and originality. A director with a true vision knows how to craft tension, evoke emotion, and make every frame meaningful. When a movie lacks that, it becomes nothing more than a forgettable, soulless product. Some audiences might accept mediocrity, but for those who truly appreciate cinema, it's impossible to ignore when a film is nothing more than a hollow imitation of better works.

I had been looking forward to watching this movie, but am now kicking myself for watching it!!! This movie so reminded me of the early SciFi channel's movies. It is that BAD!!! The title makes one think of the "Alien" franchise, but it is NOT about that. I am a Science Fiction buff, but I will NEVER watch another movie like this!!! Totally unworthy of Science Fiction!!! A decent cast, but an excruciating script and ABSOLUTELY POOR script, plus the misleading title, reels in viewers, to an ABSOLUTELY WASTE OF TIME!!! If you want to watch it after reading this review (my first) , be my guest, but I can guarantee you that you will be disappointed!!! If I could have rated it 0, I would have.

Terrible acting. Like really bad.

Reading the back of soap bottles and other things when you're sat in the toilet is more entertaining than this.

Luckily it's not connected to the proper Alien films, as this really poor.

I don't know what else to say really but whoever written this must have been smoking something at the time.

Watching paint dry or watching grass grow is much more entertaining.

Shame really as it could have been good. But sadly that wasn't the case here.

The writers, actors and everyone else involved in making this film should quit their jobs.

Maybe Aliens will invade and save us from films like this? Might be a better idea than watching this cr@p.
