The Worst Film Ever

Chirphymium

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Bea Swanson

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Just read every other comment and you will know what I think of the film. The one thing that upset me the most with this movie wasn't how bad the plot was, it wasn't how bad the acting was. It was the fact they never showed the stupid aliens. If I hadn't watched this movie on Netflix I would be pulling a South Park and banging on the producers door demanding my money back.I guess since I need more lines I will keep talking. The ending of the movie was pretty bad as well. Lets everyone just shoot blindly at nothing and waste all of our ammo while we all get slaughtered. Yeah that about sums it up.

I understand what the director and writers were trying to do, really I do, and the Colombian soldiers or whichever S.A. country they were from were very collective and looked really like soldiers, well to someone who has never been in an military service. But nothing ever happens. The production company could have hired some 2nd graders to make some paper mache aliens or something. It never reaches any focal point. It looks very promising sometimes, in some moments you think something cool will happen. But it never does. This movie would have had so much audience and so much potential, but I have to say this, don't waste your life on watching this movie.

Alien Origin is the love child of Predator and The Blair Witch Project. And let me tell you, folks, the offspring is not pretty. In fact, it's down right ugly.In the tradition of such films as Quarentined and The Blair Witch Project, the movie documents the mission of a group of soldiers who head off into the jungle and are never heard from, again. Of course, a camera with video documenting the events of the fateful mission, (thanks to the fact that the troops were being accompanied by a cute, female reporter and her trusty cameramen)is recovered some months later, and this supposedly the "actual footage" of what REALLY HAPPENED! And what wonderful video footage we have!!! At least a good hour of almost nothing but the soldiers marching through a rain forest in search of.... well, something. We're never really sure what the original mission is to begin with. The reporter tells us something, but she's quite vague. And the inane babble between her and the troops doesn't give much in the way of details on this matter. We do know that this eventually becomes a search party for two missing scientists who found something of interest and then disappeared themselves.But aside from those few points, we know NOTHING about this mission... except that it takes place in the jungle..... and that these people spend a LOT of time walking around in it.As the name implies, the troops and their media comrades eventually encounter aliens. Or, at least that's what we think they are. They do end up encountering a space ship, and they end up fighting... something. Is it an alien? Is it Bigfoot's cousin? Is it an angry fireworks salesman? Nobody can be sure, because the camera work becomes extremely jumpy and of poor quality. And we never get a look at what the threat really is, because the cameraman (who, if he was really in the media, would probably WANT to get at least a quick shot of an extra-terrestrial, because that would get him an instant bonus from his bosses when he got back home) is always shooting the reactions of the soldiers and his reporter-girl instead of whatever the hell it is they're fighting.This movie is bad so many ways that it almost isn't worth listing them all. The special effects are so low-budget, it's easy to tell that all of the explosions and rockets being fired are nothing more than fireworks left over from the Fourth of July (no, I am not exaggerating). The plot is almost non-existent. There is hardly any acting involved. The journey through the jungle is mind-numbingly long and dull, and the action scenes don't really provide any action; just confusion as to why they're happening and what's happening in them due to the poor camera-work and terrible jump-around editing.Don't bother with this movie.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a long time, it will make you sick if you just watch it due to the camera operation. I wouldn't watch it if someone loaned it to you. This is two hours of my life that I will never get back and I feel dumber for watching it. I would have enjoyed the movie if it had stayed in the ship longer and I noticed how they blurred it to avoid you seeing the plumbing in someones basement. I can honestly say that anyone can put out a movie these days and this one didn't even make a B-movie list for me. Don't get me wrong I love any kind of Sci-Fi but this was not even that. They try to pass it off as a documentary and some lost footage so don't walk RUN!!!!!
