Roswell Delirium

I very seldom review movies on here, but this was actually so horrible that I had to warn others to pass it by and not waste their time watching it. I can see why it took years for this to come to light and then went straight to streaming when it finally did come out. The acting was horrible, the script and dialogue and the interaction between the actors looked forced and was horrible and the score was horrendous. The movie was set in an alternate 1980's, and it sure did a good job reminding me of a B movie that was actually filmed in the 80's, so they got that aspect correct. This movie should have stayed on the shelf. 1/10.

I'm very happy for actress Lisa Whelchel's return to the set-she's getting better and better. "Roswell Delirium" is overall very well shot, and the cast delivers convincing performances. The screenplay is of a high standard, as is the character development. Given the numerous awards it has already won, we hope the film will be distributed in a greater number of theaters. It would have been great if Whelchel's role had been bigger, given her talent and long professional history-from the series The Facts of Life to the great success she has achieved in recent years, mainly through television projects.

This movie was a horrible waste of time. I should have read the reviews first! Cheap production. Poor acting and worse script! As I watched, I kept trying to convince myself there was something good moments away. Nope. That never happened. It is "dramatic and suspenseful" to the extent that the scenes and timeline continually shifted, compelling you to believe the girl's timeline (her life) was being artificially shifted, perhaps by aliens. I still don't know if that was the case or not. The radio tech uaed to "communicate" with the aliens was a CB. Really!? As the closing scene rolled and faded, I realized I had just wasted 2hrs of my life. Please, I beg you, DO NOT WATCH THIS!

So I just finished watching it and thought I would go ahead and read the reviews. I not sure what to think. It is a fever dream of a movie. I still am unsure what I watched, but by about 40 minutes in I was very tired of the "80s" cliche terms. Why was all of the dialogue was steeped in them and it was annoying. Was it because they were false memories? Idk. The acting was mediocre by all, even Dee Wallace, whom I love. I feel like there were just too many ideas wrapped up in this story. Definitely not sci-fi which was a shame. Alternate universe stories are hard to tell. I think there was just too much going on. I get it, new film makers have to go through some growing pains. I don't want to discredit the hard work that it takes to make films. Just keep going, not everything can be a winner.

I was disappointed once again to be tricked into watching a movie I thought was a SciFi, but ended up being something entirely different. The synopsis states: "Following a nuclear attack, a girl receives a distress call from space that leads her on an extraterrestrial journey". Well, there is no call from space, no aliens, and no extraterrestrial journey. This is classic bait and switch, and it is not the first movie that plays the trick of calling itself a SciFi when it is not.

The movie disguises itself as a SciFi, but is actually a psychological drama. It takes an hour of movie watching to finally come to this realization, but by then you have been suckered into it.

There should be a law against passing a movie as a certain genre, when it is not.
