Dreadfully Boring

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Alien Hunter is a movie with a simple storyline, good performances and nice effects but there's some confusion or lack of clarity in few scenes that involves the alien and the humans, in particular a scene where it or whatever it carries kills few of the characters and not others. I wasn't convinced how these survivors got lucky, the explanation provided felt quite simplistic. Besides that, I found the movie kinda dull, especially the drama or suspense in the later half. James Spader in the lead role of an "alien hunter" gives an above average performance. The rest of the cast are all fine actors but I was surprised to see the sprinter Carl Lewis! He acted quite well, wish he'd more screen time. Overall, it's a decent timepass and if any aspect of the story nags you, the message board here can be of some help.Verdict: okey dokey.

By god does this movie suck really bad. My first review i shall use as a starter to reviewing this awful mess of was is seen to others as cinematic enjoyment. This movie has a basic plot made complicated. I had no idea of what the hell was going on at times. The story is (i think?) of some guy who is obviously the guy who survives at all times in this cheesy sci-fi some crytography who is somehow needed for coding some alien message that crashed landed with a ship in the south pole (or north, it does't even matter where). People their are dead as alien kills, is killed and people escape. Is this not cinematic genius such as alien in which had me excited to see an alien kill people, but alien hunter the thing only appears for like ten minutes and dies easily. The title is misleading as well (in a way) as the alien hardly hunts and i thought this would have been a spin off of the predator movie. The acting is bad and effects are lame, script writing is bad and silly. This film bored me completely and is a horrific mess made. Hardly worth anyones time. I would not recommend this film, but if you really want to see a film that is worse than batman and robin or home alone 4. Check it out. Horrible film. 0/5

'Alien Hunter' is your typical evil aliens with a twist kind of a movie, in which a research team located in Antarctica find an artifact transmitting a radio code from ice. So they call in a cryptologist Julian Rome (James Spader) to crack the code.AH isn't the sharpest nor the dullest knife in the drawer. It's main problem is, that it's basically too short for what it is and it fails to build up a tension in the key places. It's too short, because it too evident, that the characters stay very flat, though the movie tries to build up human relations between them. And because the characters stay meaningless, you care very little if they die or stay alive.The encounters between the humans and aliens are few and in between. The main issue soon becomes from a disease the alien is carrying, as it can't be let out to the world: it would kill everything.For what is it, 'Alien Hunter' is a decent film, with a decent cast, but that's all it really is.

Though the film was very exciting and informative I did wonder if the ending was a little abrupt, some of the questions as to why the Aliens had visited where answered but I for one would like to know what next? I hate movies that come to a starting end and leave too many questions to be answered. Debating this with others we were all giving different conclusions as to why? and whats next?Otherwise a thoroughly entertaining film a must see. James Snader did however seem to more like Daniel Jackson (Stargate)fame. This film desrves to be watched and will show that science fiction is getting better all the time.
