आसमानी दरिंदा

There is really no reason to see this movie. I picked it up online for about 5 bucks and decided to watch it with some friends; we're into watching the sort of horrible movie that's pathetically entertaining. Sadly for us, and anyone who should have the misfortune to see this junk, Alien 51 is just bad. I want to stress the fact that it's not entertainingly bad, because often when I see a movie reviewed here as "awful" or "the worst movie ever," I'll get stoked and go rent it, hoping to be able to laugh at it. Alien 51 has very little going for it.

The plot revolves around a creature which has escaped from Area 51 and is on the loose in the desert. It might not actually be an alien, but the back story is never fully explained, so I don't know. Cleo, a woman who played some part in the creation of the creature, is brought in to deal with it. She runs into trouble when a traveling freak show has its own designs on the monster. Various scenes of gore ensue.

The only good thing about Alien 51 is that the music was actually pretty good. It was poorly arranged, often drowning out the actors or totally inappropriate for the mood of the scene, but the tunes themselves were decent. Everything else was trash. The camera-work is amateurish at best and fails to follow some basic tenets of photography (like not shooting directly into a light source). The editing is confusing. The acting is terrible, but the actors weren't given much to work with - the script is an abomination. Many of the characters are downright annoying. To top it all off, the movie has an ending that is completely nonsensical and entirely unsatisfying. I won't ruin it for you, but if I did, you wouldn't be missing much.

The bottom line: don't see this. Alien 51 is dull, poorly done, and not entertaining.

Oh, where to begin my review of this, um, "movie" (if you can even call it that)...

Well, first and foremost, and like my summary states, this is the worst thing I have EVER seen in my life (and I've seen Roseanne naked*)!! This piece of crap is SO bad, I wanted to kill myself because of it.

Why did I rent Alien 51? Well, my friend and I wanted a cheesy "horror" movie to watch - You know, something we could laugh at (ala MST3K). NOTHING could have prepared us for what we were about to watch! First off, we should have known that it was going to be horrible when we found out that Heidi Fleiss(sp?) starred in it. And second, we should have known that it was going to absolutely and humiliatingly bad when we saw that, on the cover, there was a "creature/monster-thing" that was in another, unrelated movie that was made by the same "directors" (I put the word 'director' in quotation marks here because I don't mean to take the grand title of Director in vain). By the way, the other movie was called El Chupacabra; If IMDb.com has it on it's, well, DB, then I'll write a review for that movie as well. But back to Alien 51...

This movie LITERALLY brought us to tears! And I've seen some REALLY bad movies before (i.e. xXx, Fast & Furious, etc.), but this one takes the s***-cake. Hands down!! We couldn't even suffer through a quarter of Alien 51 before ejecting the DVD and burning it (NOT making a copy, but actually burning it!) - And it was a RENTAL!!! So what does THAT tell ya?!

In any case, avoid this pile of nonsensical s*** at ALL COSTS!! Please! For the sake of your sanity, do NOT watch Alien 51!!!

*I have never actually seen Roseanne (thankfully) and I hope I never have to (Hey, I'm crazy, not stupid!). I just wanted to give you some amount of reference as to how damaging, disturbing, and vomit- and tear-inducing Alien 51 is.:)

this was probably one of the worst movies i've ever seen. i don't think anyone cared the least little bit about what was being shot, said, or committed to film except maybe the DoP and he seemed to be napping in places. i don't remember ever having seen a movie as unenlightened in the cinematic procedures as this. there is no obvious talent demonstrated at any time or at any point in the film. the acting was as if these people were lobotomized and then just set loose within a certain boundary with a general idea of what they were supposed to be doing. you could almost hear the director in the background (if only in your mind) saying, "just wing it!" this was not entertaining, not amusing, not enjoyable. it left me with the feeling that i was dumber for having watched it. why bother rating it. to rate it would be to insult real movies.

What a piece of junk. Couldn't watch it for more than 10-15 minutes, and I did it only because i was hoping for more bo0bie shots, but even this was done so lame :( Storyline sucks, acting is on the level of 1st grade of worst primary schools, nudity very scattered and more PG-rating-alike style, monster sucks (not mentioning it ain't scary nor funny at all), camera work is nonexistent (it shot itself somehow, I'm sure), special effects limited to a big bang of blown up old junk cars etc, what else... ah, sound - well, it is in stereo ( ;)) and thats why I gave it my rating (1/10), otherwise I wouldn't rate this piece of sh*t at all.

LAMEST CRAP WARNING: Do not attempt to rent it, don not accept it for free (you'll waste your precious time only), and for God's sake - don't you ever even think of buying this crap! Just stay away from it! You've been warned :) I'm dead serious. I love and own lots of bad sci-fi flicks, but this one... its an insult even to any *dead* brain cells of rotting gorilla's corpse...

I made the mistake of devoting some minutes I'll never live again to this garbage of a movie. I can't say bad enough things about it. The people who funded (which means they evidently rented a video camera and then attached it to the back of a wild animal, based on the tracking and POV shots) this travesty should be banned from ever making another film. Like Tom Hanks and "Bachelor Party," this is one you'll never see on an actor/actress' resume'. I enjoy bad movies, but even I can't recommend this, on ANY level: It's not campy, it's not witty, it's not even remotely entertaining. Skip over it if you see it on Starz (as I did), and don't spend your hard-earned money/time on it, either. I'm just trying to save you the trouble and pain.
