Roswell Delirium

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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.
