A Major Disappointment

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

The only other movie this reminds me of is Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Similar cheesy aliens/space outfits, a goofy comic relief guy and an intellectual level below the IQ of most 4 year olds. And it has the same incredibly cheesy overall look and feel to it, too. Bad? Well, yes, it's a bad movie. But I'm one of those people who loves bad movies. I mean, just reading the plot on the DVD sleeve made me burst out laughing, so I figured I was in for some spectacularly bad cinema, and I wasn't disappointed.The story? Aliens come to rescue an alien whale who was left on earth ten years earlier. With a plot line like that, how can you resist? This movie isn't so bad that it's good; rather, it's so ineffably horrific that it's great.Highly, highly recommended. And bonus points for the flying saucer that looks like a giant inflatable starfish.

This one is a Mexican movie, its about a man who works in Reino Aventura where Keiko lives, and the man notice that the aliens are coming and they want to take Keiko with them, but the man that works in Reino Aventura, try to stop them with the help of children, so they fight together against the aliens and of course they win and Keiko stays in Mexico and in Reino Aventura. In the movie Keiko saves a boy and a girl that are drowning and trapped in the pool. Those children and the guy fight very hard to stop that aliens from taking away our most valuable pet, our Mexican sea symbol, our favorite animal, our friend: Keiko
