Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
amiranda-39274 From every Warner bros VHS i had, there would always be a trailer for the alien invaders, it looked creepy and cool and my siblings and i just had to watch it, after the first viewing, it became one of our persornal favorites. Spoiler, there are real Aliens in this movie! They even start the movie with techs at a SETI radio station. The gang are on one of their classic roadtrips that always puts me in the mood for a roadtrip for some reason, when suddenly a UFO passes over them and their van dies in the middle of the dessert. On the way to town, they spot a jacaloupe ( a rabbit with antlers) near a mountain shaped like a scorpion. When they reach the towns diner, they meet some colorful characters, one being a supposed alien abductee named Lester, whose got to have the funniest lines in the movie. in one scene he tells the gang about his abduction and then the volume mutes, when he talks about the experiments they did on him with the gangs shocked expressions, im assuming hes talking about the "physical" that is later mentioned in the movie. he is shown to also be a stereotypical UFO nut, but a interesting and hilarious one! Shaggy and scooby are eventually abducted by the aliens, who look like broccoli men, but still have their intimidating moments. the next morning they wake up in the dessert where they meet a hippie girl named Crystal and her dog amber, scooby and shaggy fall instantly in love. Surprisingly ive come to realize shaggy has had quite a lot of girlfriends in the scooby doo franchise, but crystal has got to be the most memorable besides isla fisher of course. The romance in this movie is very sappy but charming, the song Groovy will basically tell you that ( shaggy imagines having a ty dye wedding with all of the gang present, and having a life with Crystal, but unlike other love struck cartoon characters he doesn't forget about involving his best friend, since scooby doo is still present in his fantasy; that to me is very thoughtful). The gang meanwhile go to a SETI radio station, where they meet 3 very nice techs, one is played by the always awesome to hear mark Hamill. Eventually the mystery takes place in a abandoned gold mine with still tons of gold, that the aliens have been mining. As it turns out the 3 techs are the aliens, which is surprisingly revealed very early, they even show their story of how they found the mine on the federal land and faked the alien hoaxes. Also as it turns out these are the 3 greediest sons of bi******** in all of the scooby doo franchise! Not only are they probably millionaires from all the gold, they said they stole cattle and sold them too, but when they meet the real aliens, they decide to capture them to make even more money!!!! The real mystery is why they even bothered to stay working at SETI, and not just buy the whole state! I digress, i promised real aliens, in the climax, a impressive fight happens with the real aliens, which are revealed to be crystal and amber! Their transformation sequences are equally impressive to look at, and when their real ship arrives the animation is stunning. Sadly crystal and amber have to leave, which is actually very sad, even Fred starts crying, after watching the whole movie you have grown attached to crystal and amber and their relationship with shaggy and scooby, but at the same time its probably for the best. The aliens departure is very stunning animation and it leaves me in awe every time. I feel they saved their best animation for the right moments in this movie, the songs are very nice, the characters are all great, and this is a very special scooby doo movie that always abducts me every time i watch it.
Josh Irpacido I don't remember when it happened, but long ago, I think my mom bought me some Scooby-Doo movies. One was a DVD pack of 3 movies that included; Abracadabra-Doo, Goblin King, and Alien Invaders. The other was Camp Scare. The following movies will not be reviewed. Camp Scare will remain ingrained in my brain for the rest of my natural born life, Goblin King will always be known as one of my least favorite Scooby-Doo movies, and Abracadabra-Doo will always be a fun little romp through a Harry Potter cash-in. This one really hits me hard. I've always been a fan of aliens, cryptids, and the supernatural, so Alien Invaders is basically a staple movie of my childhood. Here's the plot of the movie. The Gang drive along the desert to god knows where for god knows why. They have themselves an extraterrestrial encounter, when an alien ship hovers above the Mystery Machine. They stop in the middle of the dessert to get help in the nearest town, but Shaggy and Scooby decide to stay behind. There they spot a jackalope that barely has an effect on the plot and the aliens, who are actually rastafaliens. They get chased by the big green men, and they're almost caught, until they reach the diner. There they meet Dolly, Lester, and Surge. Shaggy and Scooby pig out on donuts, while Fred, Velma, and Daphne listen in on the story of how Lester got proved by the aliens. Lester offers to show the gang pictures of the ship and they agree to follow him. They find out that the only pictures he has are paintings, as Lester is a landscape artiste. They're's no hotels in the town, so Lester lets them stay at his place. He lets Shaggy and Scooby sleep on the roof, for some reason, and the two get kidnapped by the aliens. They're's a scene in the ship, and then they wake up to meet a girl and her dog, Crystal and Amber. If there's anything the movie lacks is in it's plot and mystery, there's nothing really going on. It's like a stretched out episode of What's New, before What's New was even a thing. The mystery is also not interesting, as you only care about two things, aliens and hippie women. Many people consider this the worst of the four Mook Animation Scooby movies, but I like it. I see what they mean, but this is the one I most remember and like. The other's never rang with me like this one did. There animation is also really good, although it's lighter in tone compared to Zombie Island and Witch's Ghost. Let me just comment on the music here, it's good. How Groovy will always be a tune that is stuck in my head, and for personal reasons. I'm a fan of 90s pop, and also a fan of juvenile lovey-dovey stuff. Every time Shaggy says Shaggy Jr., I go like, why couldn't this have actually been a thing. Jennifer Love Hewitt's rendition of the Scooby-Doo is kind on the ears, it could be worse, like in Cyber Chase. That song during the cave chase scene is also good, it really doesn't stand out as much as the other two songs. I didn't even remember that it was in the movie. There are also some pretty enjoyable characters. Lester, Dolly, Amber, Shaggy, and Scooby. All of them, not counting Scooby and Shaggy, are people who definitely need more screen time like the Hex Girls from last movie. Fred, Daphne, and the SALF employees are okay, and there are parts of the movie where Velma says some cringe-worthy stuff that I'd rather not mention here. There's also a mechanic who barely does anything. He fixes the gang's van and he collects pressed flowers. I love Crystal. She should be apart of the gang, she didn't deserve to be treated like a secondary character in a franchise that doesn't appreciate those kind of people. While she is pretty basic and weird, you'll know why if you watch the ending, she's got this weird little charm on her. She's a very likable character and her relationship with Shaggy is one of the greatest things to ever happen to the Scooby-Doo franchise, even if it was for a short amount of time. It may be sappy, but it gets me, when I see her leave at the end of the movie, as well as leaving the franchise forever. This may not be a good movie in terms of plot, but what it lacks it makes up for it with charm and likability. I give it a 6/10. Any of the Scooby-Doo writers reading this, bring back Crystal and Amber. --JoshTheCelluloader.
Jackson Booth-Millard This straight to video film when I was young was quite good because it went back to the original style of Scooby-Doo the TV series. The only thing that could put it down a bit was the songs. Scooby and the gang get lost and end up in a desert village outside a alien spotting station. Aliens are starting to appear and the gang decide to investigate. During the process Scooby and Shaggy fall in love with Crystal and Amber (a golden retriever). In the end (suprise, surprise) they find out the aliens are three people at the alien spotting station secretly digging for gold. They also find out there are real aliens, Crystal and Amber! Scooby-Doo was number 8 on The 100 Greatest Kids' TV Shows, and he was number 49 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Worth a look!
TheMan3051 Not as good as "Zombie Island" and "Cyber Chase" but still a great Scooby-Doo movie. The title of this movie pretty much sums it all up. However, what's great about this movie is the new "side" of Shaggy we get to see! Scooby-Doo has been in love before but never Shaggy, as here he falls for a "hippie" called Crystal. And he begins dreaming about the "free love." lol!3 1/2(***1/2)out of 4(****)stars
