Escape from Area 51

I really don't understand the one star reviews here.. did people watch this with ZERO knowledge about it other then the name? Cheesiness, bad acting and "lame" special effects are not a reason to rate a movie like this low, it should be expected. I mean if you just look at the poster it screams all of those things. Its a sci fi spoof with a budget probably less then a minimum wage workers vacation fund.

Im not gonna go watch a slasher film and then proceed to give one star because there was a lot of blood.. C'mon people.

I'd have given this 2 stars as if very drunk or 14 years old, you might enjoy it in a "so bad it's good" way but I knocked a star off for being so sexist. No, not the scanty costumes, the way every male character in this show is either evil, stupid, or both. And every female character is super-competent and good. Oh, and lines about "on every planet, it is the women who step forward to sacrifice themselves". Must be news to all the dead allied soldiers littering the battlefields of WWII.

Anyway, gross misandry aside, I would love, love, love to know how this film got made. I mean, the guy playing the main baddy is actually someone I recognize from mainstream films. He's a decent actor. So what's going on here? Did he do it as a favour to a niece or something? Sexual favours? I reckon the budget for this thing is around $2000 (feeding twenty people for the two days they must have spent filming this adds up). I particularly like how every time the main villain stops to communicate with his ship on his wanderings, it's the SAME tree stump he is sitting on.

No really, anyone who knows how this got made please reply - did someone promise their daughter they could be in a movie? Was it someone's highschool project? Or just the director's way of meeting some attractive women and getting them to walk around in tight outfits?

Still, it will probably make a profit if even one person buys the DVD.

I think that a film like this, before starting it, the director and the production intend to make it disastrous. The actors are disarmingly rigid, the plot horrendous. I think this film would deserve zero as another very similar one for its sci-fi plot and acting achievements: Moontrap Target Earth.

If there was zero star rating I'd have put a zero star rating. You wanted a review? You can't find any other one more valid than this one.

I made it to 3mins 31 seconds. I'll pay anyone $100 a piece if you can make it further. What an absolute smoking pile of junk!! This is not "film making".
