For a Sci-Fi movie, then "Alien Armageddon" wasn't particularly impressive. However, I will say that I have seen worse movies than this one.The story is about a race known as the Nephilim (very original, eh?) who come to Earth and invade the planet to harvest resources from this planet (again, very original). But humanity does not just roll over and surrender, a small group of resistance fighters take up arms to fight back the invading alien force.Well, the storyline is fairly generic and right off the "let's make a Sci-Fi movie storyboard", as there is nothing new here whatsoever. It is all stuff that has been done countless times in other Sci-Fi movies. So don't get your hopes up.As for the characters in the movie, well you don't really bother much to form any kind of association or bond with any of them, as they are fairly two-dimensional and lacking characteristics.Effects-wise, then "Alien Armageddon" wasn't great. Sure, there was an effort put into it and they tried. I will give them as much as saying that the armors of the Nephilim was actually looking good, and the make-up effects on the hybrid (which looked a lot like a zombie) was actually quite cool. But the explosions and destructions of cities and such was lacking proper CGI effects to be believable. And for some reason people's heads kept exploding in a burst of liquid (without any meat or bones) whenever they got hit by the Nephilim weapons, yet, their weapons didn't leave marks on vehicles when they struck them. Odd. Very odd. There were some nice enough effects on some of the creatures, but nothing impressive.As for the resistance, it was said that they had an army waiting, but you never got to see this army, only a handful of people at the most. So it wasn't really as if you bought into the whole concept and the fact that humanity was actually struggling against a superior race from beyond the stars.In overall, then "Alien Armageddon" was below average and mediocrity. It was entertaining at times, but at other times it just took forever to get nowhere. So it wasn't an all together enjoyable experience.

Imagine if you shot a movie about aliens without leaving a public restroom. This is that movie. Set design is bland, consists of either a concrete room or a desert road. CGI is corny, watch a person's head photshopped away to be replaced by blood spatter clip art. UFOs kind of look like adult novelty products, and the terrifying alien technology we face? Machine guns. Cast is completely made up of unknowns who are cast into uninteresting character roles such as "suicidal pilot with uncomfortably acidic feces" who do nothing but soak up screen time until their unrealistic deaths.If you are considering this movie, I recommend Battle: Los Angeles, which this movie started out with a very similar title to. That movie opens with a strong show of special effects and the slightly less than unheard of Aaron Eckhart. Battle: Los Angeles will also not ever subject you to 5 minutes of watching someone vomit and defecate into a bucket while begging for death. This low budget "thriller" will not only show you that scene, it may even make you mimic it.

Well, I liked it when the aliens "cancelled" George Noory's show...NOt much else.This film was okay in the Special effects department, given a budget of less than six figures.Of course, there were a few interesting bits, like the women who were turned into "Hens" producing food. But mostly, the movie was incoherent nonsense, with scenes in the prison taking up way too much of its running time. Especially scenes involving body functions.But most of the ideas were tired and other people did them better. Symbiot worms that took people over? The Trill, the Hidden, the Puppet Masters. Aliens who succumb to a disease? That's original- when H.G Welles did it 100 years ago! So if you don't have original ideas, you should at least have interesting characters. Characters were introduced and then vanish for no good reason, other than I suspect someone promised them they could be in this movie. Saddest of all was Virginia Hey (The ROad Warrior, Farscape) clearly too old to be doing these kinds of roles anymore.Final insult- the cover art. Yup, if you compare the cover art for this turkey that Red Box used, you will notice a strange similarity to "Cowboys and Aliens" cover art. Well, I guess someone was fooled somewhere.

Why a 9 and not a 10? Because I couldn't watch it on the big screen. I mean the special effects were so amazing, acting spot on, script was Shakespeare worth. I mean come on, there is no better movie out there that captures LA through the eyes of a homeless drug addict.Watch it high, on shrooms acid or a grip Robitussin PM, won't regret it!And the jews in this movie are awesome, always asking for a discount and neglecting customers. Gun fights from 10 feet away are pure win. I think this movie could only be improved on if it had vampires and demon gummy bears.
