DVD Reviews of Alien Apocalypse
DVD Review: Great flick
Summary: 5 Stars
Not for serious movie critics. Just a really fun movie to laugh at and laugh with. I'm a big fan of Campbell, and this movie doesn't disappoint. The acting is so lame (the overacting makes it funny!). The wigs are fake to the point where you wonder if they actually WANTED you to know they're wearing wigs. The story is AMAZINGLY predictable. But add in Campbell and some wood hungry aliens, and it's a great film to waste a night on!
If your not sold yet, I must mention there are a few scenes where the aliens eat dude's heads off clean from their body...... yeah...
DVD Review: Schlocky, but worth a look...
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been a Bruce Campbell fan for a loooong time, so adding this movie to my collection was a natural. Bruce, as is typical, just has a unique presence and is always worth watching. The rest of the film...well, that's another story....
Plot? Worse than bad. Had potential, but just never delivered because something this schlocky should be played as camp. How in the world could anyone think that this was a "serious" sci-fi plotline? Apparently at least one director.....
Dialogue? Took what was already bad and made it worse. Same reason as above.
Production? Momentually bad costuming and disastrous special effects. The scenery was beautiful and I guess it is hard to screw up or dress up a woodpile.
Acting? Unlike some other reviewers, I will tell you that I was disappointed in all of the acting, even Bruce Campbell's. However, having seen most of the cast in better productions, this is clearly not a case of talentless bums reading a script. The director, on the other hand, carries all of the blame and should seriously consider a career in accounting or dry cleaning or something else that requires no sense of humor or timing. No feel whatsoever for what could have been a delightful sendup.
Conclusion? Watch the film if you are a die-hard B-movie fan or a Campbell fan or both. Don't expect much. Perhaps turning this film into a party game would work.......
DVD Review: Bruce does it again
Summary: 3 Stars
For the budget they had to work with, and the fact that they had to dub in most of the actors voices due to the fact that they filmed this movie in another country, this was a very entertaining enslaved human race by insect alien's film.
The key factor was Bruce Campbell pulling off his usual stellar performance, he can pull any movie out of the crapper with his funny sarcasm and dry humor, the best part of this film is listening to the commentary while watching the movie the second time around, very funny and insightful.
If you're a Bruce fan, I say buy this movie, but if you're not a fan, don't bother since it's not able to stand on its own without Bruce's support.
DVD Review: To the Bruce
Summary: 4 Stars
Bruce Campbell.. That's all i need to say about this movie. Anyone who doesn't know who Bruce Campbell is, has been living under a rock. This is one of the greatest actors of our generation. Not selling out completely and loving every minute of his career.
This movie is a must see for any Bruce Campbell fans.
It's enjoyable and i'm glad to have it in my collection.
DVD Review: entertainment apocalypse
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this for the obvious reason. I like Bruce Campbell, but this film at best was more of a d movie than a b movie. Obviously made for t.v., more than likely the SciFi channel, it lacks form. I expect cheap effects and weak acting from a B.C. movie, but this film doesn't achieve the levels of his other work. Entertaining idea of alien termites taking over the world, unfortunately the director seemed more concentrated on making it serious than humorous. It was an obvious rip off from Planet of the Apes, men slaves to a lower life form. The best part of the DVD is the cover art, which makes a good wallpaper on my computer.
