Well, I was entertained by what director Stephen Ohl managed to dish out with this 2020 movie titled "Useless Humans".
Sure, this wasn't an award-winning movie in any sense, but it just had that certain quality to it. In fact, I found it to be a very worthy contender for being to the alien invader genre, what "Shaun of the Dead" was to the zombie genre and "Lesbian Vampire Killers" was to the vampire genre. In other words, an enjoyable movie that manages to be witty and fun enough to not take itself overly serious, but still remaining a good addition to the genre.
The storyline is very straight forward, but still manages to be entertaining and fun. And the twist towards the end was definitely a great addition to the movie. I really liked that part.
It was partly the storyline and partly the cast that made the movie work, and they definitely had a great cast ensemble put together for the movie, with the likes of Josh Zuckerman, Rushi Kota, Davida Williams and Luke Youngblood in the lead roles. Now, I wasn't particularly familiar with these actors and actresses, but they really carried the movie quite well.
The alien was so-so. I mean, it worked out well enough, but it could have been better if done differently. But hey, it worked okay with the rest of the movie, so that was good.
My rating of "Useless Humans" is a six out of ten stars. I was positively surprised by the outcome of this movie, and I was entertained from start to end. Definitely well worth sitting down to watch.
