Am I Missing Something?
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View More.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
View MoreI'll be honest... I only watched this movie past 10 minutes because the blonde chick is gorgeous. So in a movie titled Alien Uprising, released in 2014, in the age of highly advanced CGI and visual effects, your expectations would likely include: A short 10-15 minute beginning to develop a character or two; followed by a scene that would immediately instill fear, panic, or suspense; great realistic visual effects or the aliens or their spacecraft; the presence of military; a majority of scenes with a lot of action and aliens that scare the s*** out of you; a group of people staying together that run away, organize, plan to fight, and or fight, things exploding; effects of highly advanced weapons maybe; etc. Well, if you expected that, you are sadly mistaken, as was I! This excuse of a movie lollygags around for almost half an hour with a bunch of idiots getting drunk, having sex, and arguing with their girlfriends... oh and even a marriage proposal. There is just one completely ignorant scene after another. Pure stupidity. One of the characters is portrayed to be a "soldier that served two tours in Afghanistan, and is tough as nails who will destroy people", instead he gets beat up and nearly killed by some random cop, while his f*** buddy girlfriend stands in a corner and watches him nearly get killed before doing something to help him, which follows a scene of them having a car accident, and her SERIOUSLY overdramatizing and freaking out because a person is still alive in a mangled car wreck, AS ALIEN SPACECRAFT ARE FLYING AROUND IN THE AIR. Seriously... what kind of person would ever be that stupid?? Trying to save someone who is bleeding to death WHILE an alien invasion is taking place? Give me a break!! I didn't watch an alien invasion movie to see a weak little "soldier" and a cop have a meaningless fight in a drug store, with Matrix-like slow motion fighting scenes! To top it off, the visual effects are beyond horrible, and comparable to visual effects from the early 1990's. This is by far, possibly the Holy Grail of terrible invasion movies. To date, I don't recall ever watching anything worse that this abomination. Please do not support this movie! Every dollar these characters and producers make is putting them one dollar closer to producing another movie!
View MoreOkay, I'm not normally one to complain too much about really bad movies. I watch a lot of not so great horror movies however, this movie had almost no coherent plot, really weird and kind of horrible filming, and a horrible sound track. Again, keep in mind I watch A LOT of really horrible horror movies but this was pretty much hitting rock bottom of the entertainment barrel. There were a lot of loose ends and aspects of the already weak plot that were not explained. This movie could have been a lot better just without the confusing flashes of the actors and with different filming and a PLOT LINE.Honestly that's my biggest complaint. For a low budget movie they could have spent a bit more on getting a well written screen play and a bit less on the already poorly done special effects and half backed acting.
View MoreI've watched a lot of movies and some not so good ones, but this one...WOW!!! Everything about this movie sucks from the script to the acting to the effects. This movie can't even be called a 'B' movie but a 'T' movie.... Trash! Jean Claude Van Damme must have been given pity pay to attract viewersI have to have 10 lines of text to describe this movie,,,don't think it warrants that much... it's crapLike others have said if you value your time or just want to watch it to see how not to act or make a horrible movie then watch this one!Some of the actors were making a real attempt I suppose but it isn't enough to make the grade.
View Moreif you are someone who likes the idea of Pierce Brosnan but are not prepared to commit to watching a film that he stars in then UFO, also known as Alien Uprising, is perfect for you.this film is perfectly serviceable for anyone who wants to watch a film that features people on the outskirts of the life of Pierce, the people who only have a footprint in segments of the Venn Diagram of the life of this celebrated actor.most prominent on the Pierce Brosnan Venn Diagram in the film is of course Sean Brosnan, the actor's son. he is not to be confused with Sean Bean or Sean Pertwee, although the latter also features.the Pierce connections do not end there, as Julian Glover out of Remmington Steele, what Pierce Brosnan was also in, features.if you are looking for a film that has tedious connections to Pierce Brosnan but has no Pierce Brosnan in it, or if you simply think every film should feature no more than 8 minutes of a Belgian actor, then this is for you.
