This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

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

I will say that I was expecting little from Alien Lockdown(or PredatorMan), but I was expecting something watchable with perhaps a guilty pleasure vibe. Instead I got a film that wasn't just worse than I anticipated but also a terrible movie. Is it the worst movie I've seen? No. But it is one of the worst movies I've seen in recent memory. Alien Lockdown is a badly made movie with editing so rapid that it makes some scenes close to incomprehensible, uninteresting scenery and artificial-looking effects. The script is ridiculous in a laughable sense, the "this is a morality tale" conversation between Talon and Woodman is especially true of this. The music is poor, overbearing and with a sluggish, harsh quality to it, while the story revolving around a concept that has been done to death is dull and predictable with only the atmospheric(in comparison) climax) livening things up. The characters are badly written clichés, just how many times do we need the mad scientist type of character. The acting fares little better, James Marshall and John Savage deserve much better than they had, Savage is not too bad actually but he is riddled with some of the film's worst dialogue, while Michelle Goh is completely unbelievable as the Lucy Liu/Ellen Ripley-esquire heroine. Overall, a groan-inducingly-terrible film. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Many years ago there was a contributer to this website called Tim Cox who wrote countless reviews which never seem to be composed of much more than three lines . I noticed the director of ALIEN LOCKDOWN is also called Tim Cox and I wonder if they're both the one and the same since one's respective reviews are as threadbare as this movie The title tells you everything you need to know about the plot . Scientists messing around with nature and it's up to a bunch of macho US marines to try and save the day , most of whom get eaten by the eponymous monster . I guess Mr Cox deserves some credit since it's obvious he doesn't have a Cameron style budget to play with . Maybe that's why he seems to have overused a green filter on the camera in order to disguise the poor production values ?

Alien Lockdown is undoubtedly the weakest of the six Alien movies. It derives most of it's plot lines from the second movie, Aliens. Only it's way off on the thrill-and-scare factor. The effects are pretty cheap too with lots of CGI mini-aliens running around, while momma-alien plods around without any of the intensity or viciousness of previous aliens. As for the humans, well it's lots of big boofheaded soldiers running around with guns that don't seem to be able to kill anything. Suffice to say if you've seen the second film, there's not much point watching this one. And to all the wannabe directors out there , there's not much point making any further Alien sequels.

I was happy to see a new Sci Fi flick with John Savage in it, but I unfortunately only watched a half hour of it before I became disinterested. >From what I saw of it, a scientist (Savage) was using an alien for some experiment when it got loose, thus the reason for the "Lockdown". The rest that I saw was when some commandos came in to try to contain the situation. I immediately became bored as I watched and waited for these professionals to do their job, but it was all a bunch of dark corners, smoky hallways and people disappearing. The alien appeared early on in the movie but I don't know what the heck it was. I just know that I was disappointed in this movie and do not have any desire to watch it again.
