Best movie ever!

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

As usual I missed the start, UK satellite Horror Channel but I saw most of it and IT kept me interested. Some of these comments have made me realise some people didn't listen or watch properly. There were answers, as some others have now said. Some women may find the, quiet,mystery man different.. that made me laugh. So he has a gismo that can do things. When the woman hes with turns up, aha, good twist.. fact is I recognised many 'facts' mentioned, and it made a change to have an educated, 'seen it all' type base boss. I found none of this impossible. It was a good alternate story of what could have happened at Rosswell and for all we know did. NO one apart from those there at the time know? The end narrative..jump to 'now' when the story was being told from.. again, food for thought for anyone who may still wonder if its possible. Shame more of us haven't the brain to at least wonder.. sci fi often predicts the future, Star Trek manuals.. they make sense, Roddenberry still makes me wonder if he knew more. The people that wrote the manuals.. known physics expanded. Thoroughly well made over all. Sparce special effects, just what was needed. Kids now expect more. We remember cardboard boulders from Trek and the Brit earlier TV sci fi limited budgets.. they had charm. I'd recommend this film to anyone, but the title, the impression of an 'Indepndance Day' attack.. nope.

In 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico, after a collision in the sky, two alien spacecrafts, one of them intact, and two dead gray small aliens are retrieved by and stored in a military base, waiting for some experts from Washington to analyze what they might be. Meanwhile, two aliens having human appearance arrive in the military base, both of them with a mission of activating a nuclear bomb and destroy Earth planet. While increasing the power of the weapon and preparing to activate it, the alien John Deerman (Steven Flynn) meets and likes the local widow Katie Harras (Greenhouse) and her son, Sam, and decides not destroying the planet. However, the other one, the sexy Eve (Heather Hanson), keeps resolute in the original plan of blowing up the planet. "Roswell: The Aliens Attack" is not a masterpiece or a movie to be nominated to an Oscar. Although using elements of many sci-fi stories, mainly the romance of "Starman", it is a good film. There are flaws in the story, but it is also very attractive and in the end it is a good entertainment. I believe that real fans of this genre will not be disappointed. There are some unfair reviews in IMDb. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Roswell: Ataque Alienígena" ("Roswell: Alien Attack")

Roswell: The Aliens Attack is a very good film that has a good cast includes Steven Flynn, Kate Greenhouse, Heather Hanson, Brent Stait, Sean McCann, Donnelly Rhodes, Ben Baxter, Robert Huculak. The acting by all of these actors is very good especially by Paré and Allen I thought The mystery is good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed good. The music is great. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Steven Flynn, Kate Greenhouse, Heather Hanson, the rest of the cast in the film, Action, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Mysteries, and interesting films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!Movie Nuttball's NOTE:If you like alien movies and/or the subject of aliens I also recommend the following films: The Thing from another World, The War of the Worlds, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Horror Express, The UFO Incident, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, John Carpenter's The Thing, Krull, Time Walker, My Science Project, Howard the Duck, John Carpenter's Starman, John Carpenter's They Live, Mac and Me, Explorers, Invaders from Mars, Alien Seed, Total Recall, The Abyss, Communion, Suburban Commando, Fire in the Sky, The Arrival, Mars Attacks!

Let's say, there is a UFO falling from the sky. There's a man laying on the ground miles from civilization, without transportation. This man claims to be a hot-shot scientist, but acts weird, only knows a couple of words in English and doesn't understand a simple joke or remark. What do you do?The answer is: you fall in love with him! This is what the widowed Katie does anyway, although one wonders why, as alien John's only contribution to their conversations is 'yes' or 'no' (although a cynic would say that's the perfect partner). Good thing though that the aliens apparently speak English to each other, it's the best way to learn the language, folks...Oh I forgot what the aliens (there's 2 of them, John and a female) want. Well, what do all aliens want... they want to destroy the planet. To do so they recharge an atomic bomb (?) so that the whole world will explode (erm... I didn't get that either). This bomb is on a military base in Roswell, New Mexico, home of the UFO.Back to the story then. Conflicts start when alien-guy John likes Katie and her son as well and thinks this whole blowing-up-the-planet thing is immoral. His female buddy from outer space Eve thinks otherwise though... Meanwhile the military guys find out he's an imposter (finally checked his records, guys?), while the bomb keeps ticking...Now John and Katie team up to find Eve and stop her from detonating the bomb. Love it when John tells Katie he's an alien: 'I came here to destroy the planet, but I changed my mind (!)'. From that point the movie which is already ludicrous takes some more stupid turns, which includes a silly fight and a countdown-sequence you only see in old Bond movies, but then worse. Notice this: it takes that stupid bomb about 30 seconds to verify (!) a code...The actors try but this pile of dung can't be saved, no matter what actors you'd use. Kate Greenhouse is a Heather Nova look-a-like (anybody else notice), playing the Katie person and Steven Flynn has no problems using a single facial impression on the John guy. But that's not where the movie goes wrong. We're way past that point...A cheap TV movie, this one: 2/10.
