Surprisingly decent if ur into the premise. The kind of movie I expect critics may not like too much but has the potential to garner a kind of cult-like appeal with its target audience. It's a happily vul
Movie definitely isn't perfect but its a happily vulgar throwback style adventure with heart. It's like 90s Kevin Smith meets 80s Spielberg. If ur offended at stoner-humor, this movie wasn't made for you. I really appreciate how it can be funny at times & poignant with messages about our place in the universe in others. (Also apparently thx to some govt insiders it allegedly has some real info.... According to filmmaker..)
Decent directorial debut and a bit ridiculous in a fun way....
Ultimately the movie is charming & entertaining if the premise catches your interest.
(EDIT - something wrong here, the movie is only out in the U. S., yet other country's users have scores & they trend lower?)

So I managed 49 minutes of this slacker scifi adventure? /comedy.
It had a good idea in the beginning but limped along and wasn't really sure what it was going to be maybe a comedy nah nothing funny here!
The cast were amiable like a noughties scooby doo gang but minus the doo.
The legendary casper van dien makes a appearance as naval intelligence men in black kind of character but he is sorely wasted on a lacklustre script and plot. Scowling through his lines.
Do yourself a favour watch the first twenty minutes ghost house segment then cut and run you won't miss anything else noteworthy.
So to sum up scifi no, comedy no, adventure definitely not, the four stars are for the leads sister in a bikini see where I'm going with this just blah blah blah!!

I came across this movie while browsing UFO threads on Reddit. It seemed to hide clues and revelations about the whole UAP and alien affair.
Well, imagine watching a bad episode of Scooby-Doo, minus the dog, with four teenagers stumbling upon mysteries they generally escape from by literally running away. So, the first survival lesson: run.
The dialogues, moreover, are nothing short of comical. Forced humor and comedic pauses, including the old stoner friend trick.
The funny thing, though, is to notice how some dialogues are actually meant to be revealing: the movie changes its mood, and you witness a dialogue pasted there, almost randomly, that seems like a script taken from some conspiracy-minded mind.

We watched it for about 20 minutes and it was one scene after another with a combination of bad acting, dialogue, and direction. The three main characters are so clueless they couldn't even do what they set out to do. Ostensibly because they were stoned. One apparently took multiple doses of LSD. If a movie promises some kind of story, we'll struggle through until the end, hopeful of redemption. This movie promises nothing. Example: There was a little kid in a scene at the dinner table. She wasn't saying a word. Now, this can be hysterical if the child can act at all, because they can make faces and draw us in. This one looked like she was watching a slow-motion ping-pong match, looking back and forth with just a blank look on her face.
It's not funny, it's not well acted, it's not worth your time.

In a time, when it's been extremely important for society to release its stigma on this topic, Tom delong and to the Stars academy decides their first movie that they should release is Bill & Ted's excellent alien adventure. I have officially lost all respect for Tom delong and to the Stars academy. They are no longer in my opinion a serious agency that should be dealing with the subject. All this movie does is add to the already stigmatized subject matter. It was absolutely nothing interesting about this movie and it was absolutely ridiculous. And for a clown like Tom delong to put something like this out is absolutely disgusting. And then talk out of the other side of his face about how serious he is about this subject. Tom you should be ashamed of yourself.
