Roswell Delirium

I'm shocked this movie was ever made! Sometimes a B movie has bad acting but a great storyline so you continue to watch it wishing the right person with the right amount of money and contacts has the chance to produce it.

This .. this has neither!

It's a D movie at best. No storyline, beyond horrible acting, a purely pathetic attempt at every point of making a movie.

I honestly think the only reason a couple of the known actors did this, was either a HUGE FAVOR to someone or they lost a bet.

We TORTURED ourselves to finish the movie so that I could leave an honest review of the movie and not the first ten minutes that already had me wanting to run!

A reviewer has a difficult choosing the right words to describe this pile of manure properly. Amateurish comes to mind, disorganized does too!

The storyline is a mish-mosh of themes and genres! No one ever made the decision to make this a Soap Opera, a drama, a science fiction story, an apocalyptic saga. Or an alternate history tale!

There is an insane timeline which contradicts all logic and mixes real events with fantasy, Events have impossible consequences and follow no linear pattern.

The one constant is bad acting from some has-been actors/actresses who deliver performance that are either, over-the-top or devoid of any trace of acting - just reciting lines off a page with no emotion! Dee Wallace was never a good actress, but this film shows that what little talent she has is gone, the same is true for Michael Anthony Hall whose acting is wooden as an elm tree!

One extremely annoying aspect of the film is its attempt to mock 1980s expressions and slang ad nauseum. In the 1980s, according to this film people spoke exclusively in slang!

The most glaring flaw is that in the end NOTHING adds up...it starts as nonsense and ends as nonsense. BTW Roswell is in New Mexico, not Nevada and Area 51 is over 800 miles Northwest of Roswell!!!

Do I think the concept was terrible? No. The execution was bad, and the acting was absolutely awful. The only good thing about this movie imo is Reginald VelJohnson, I love him so much but this movie was not it I fear. It was super underwhelming and the sci-fi aspect didn't show much like I had hoped, I could not keep my eyes on the movie and enjoy it. I think it could've been better, just overall wasn't good. And the kids in the movie had so much potential I think. I do think they could be better (sorry I'm just rambling for the required character minimum) not worth the watch I don't think, but I'd honestly like to see a better remake with the same concept.

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.

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.
