Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Bezenby Yet another film with an escaped alien chasing people around an underground complex. This one however throws in a couple of changes to the usual formula by having a few different aliens, your two usual killing machines plus one shape changing individual who can take the form of anyone it touches. Just so the film can copy scenes from the Thing as well as Aliens.This is all based in Area 51, where some nosy journalists are invited to look around the non-alien part of the complex. You got your straight laced journalist and the web-based smart arse journalist, looking for the 'truth'. I wouldn't quite dwell on any characters here though, as halfway through their tour the aliens escape and that's when the fun begins.The story might be generic, but at least there's plenty of gore to keep you awake. Folks are torn to bits, shot, have their faces torn off and even have their heads stamped on, so the film has that going for it. It's always quite fast paced, so it'll do as a not bad time waster. Not a lot of CGI which was a good thing. If you skip it, you won't have missed much.

Matt Winstanley First of all, all i heard about this film was that it was terrible and there was nothing good about it, and then when i found out it was made by SYFY it made me doubt it more, well i was surprised to be honest about it. It was quite good.I think i enjoyed it because i expected the worst so it could only get better from that.yes the aliens do look cheesy and low budget but it is in fact a fun film, you just have to accept it for what it is and don't take it to serious,The acting is about 7 out of 10, some of the actors didn't really do a good job about it but on the other hand there was some good acting to.A decent body count, with some decent kills in it too. Some aspects in the film we're laughable to be honest, but that is what i did, i just laughed, this is probably why i enjoyed it haha,

nicke_dahl don't even bother to read my review, if you did you have already wasted your time for nothing, this is how crappy this crapping crap movie is...

trashgang I follow the After Dark series and I know that many people do complain about the entries. Some are good but most of them aren't. This is the most hated one in the new issue of After Dark and I must agree. From second one you know what you will get, SyFy, yes, not known for quality. Although that I must admit that the effects this time were rather good. But the flick fails completely in script. After the SyFy logo we see a journalist standing before the fences of Area 51. They really looked stupid but not only that, she's standing before a green key. If you watch closely you can see that even the key being made to cut out the green wasn't perfect at all. I have my picture before the gates of Area 51 and it isn't what is shown here. Nevertheless, back to the movie. It's okay to tell a story about Area 51 but when it becomes really ridiculous then you know that you are in deep sh*t. Come on, an alien talking English? And just look what they did with the story, first it's an attack by a baby alien, of course that you could see coming. The mother itself do looks like the aliens from Xtro. On the other hand they even ripped-off Alien. There's a shot were a soldier is facing the head of the alien, it's like the one of Ripley facing the alien, just the same, dripping teeth included. The acting couldn't convince me too, it was all a bit to cliché. John Shea was just standing there and almost didn't do anything except at the end. Bruce Boxleitner (remember Tron)wasn't convincing too.They even tried to make the flick believable by adding the so-called room were the Roswell alien was dissected. But the talking alien entered that room and it ruined it all. It just bored me a lot, why does this is included in the After Dark series is an enigma for me. If there wasn't a bit of gory shots I would recommend it to my 10 year old child. Let Area 51 just be Area 51.Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5
