Batalla espacial: La armada ataca

Wow.

Just wow. This movie was horrible. Granted, I had little expectations to the movie, but I must admit that I was intrigued by the movie's cover and the fact that Doug Jones was on the cast list. And since I hadn't already seen "Battle in Space: The Armada Attacks", of course I sat down to do so.

And this movie was abysmal. It is listed as an action sci-fi, and I suppose it is that. But it was so hard to having to pretend to accept that this movie was supposed to be taking place some 400 years plus from now. There simply was no futuristic feel to the movie at all. No. Actually the movie had a feel as being a low budget sci-fi movie with horrible CGI and makeshift props.

The storyline in "Battle in Space: The Armada Attacks" was just atrocious and it provided me with no entertainment. In fact, it was so monotonous and slow paced that I actually drifted off to sleep once throughout the course of the ordeal of sitting through the movie.

The acting in "Battle in Space: The Armada Attacks" was dubious at best. And yeah, sure, Doug Jones was there, but it would have been better if he wasn't, because "Battle in Space: The Armada Attacks" is a tarnish on his resume. Trust me, this was that bad.

For a sci-fi movie then "Battle in Space: The Armada Attacks" just didn't come off as being believable. A sci-fi movie needs proper special effects, CGI and props, none of which were present in this 2021 movie from writers Josh Guttman, Andrew Jaksch, Lukas Kendall and Sanjay F. Sharma. In fact, it is astounding that four writers could collectively manage to come up with nothing worthwhile for a movie.

You might want to skip on "Battle in Space: The Armada Attacks", because the movie's cover was actually the best thing about the entire experience.

My rating of "Battle in Space: The Armada Attacks" lands on a two out of ten stars. This was definitely a top contender for being some of the worst movie that I have had the misfortune of suffering through. I would have rated the movie one star, but the practical effects on the alien creature actually were quite good, and that alone managed to pull the movie up from a single star.

In the future, mankind has spread throughout the galaxy. In 2420, space wizards from other dimension have enslaved humanity. They steal children but some are rebelling.

It's the first two minutes. On the one hand, it lost me at "Space Wizards". On the other hand, I'm intrigued. I want some Space Wizards. This is a series of vignettes. Different filmmakers are making their own sci-fi short and somebody has slammed them together into a 90 minute movie. Quite frankly, only the first short fits neatly into the opening text. The others are not so tailor-made. Some have better special effects than others. One is downright embarrassing. Each short should be considered as its own story. The last one is the most interesting. It hints of a Twilight Zone episode. It doesn't fit the rest of the movie but that's ok by then. I do want it to finish with a better ending. That short is almost good.

My reviews are normally long. This one won't be. This film is rubbish. Cheap acting, cheap scripting and cheap effects. You have been warned. The 'Lockdown Movie Syndrome' makes us digest all kinds of movies and that's not all good. There are films that should never have been made, companies that should never have produced a film, and actors that should have saved their careers from films that will forever cast a sordid shadow on their acting achievements. This move is a trifecta of failures and squarely falls into all three categories.

Here I am, half way through the boring snorefest piece of trash and I have YET to see a Battle in Space.

How this thing got 2.5 stars is beyond me.

Horrible!!!!!!!! Rental should be..payME $50 to watch
