DVD Reviews of Alien Apocalypse
DVD Review: Bruce being Bruce
Summary: 4 Stars
Here we have underdog Bruce Campbell fighting an unlikely enemy, turning the tides in an unlikely way, through unbelievable dialogue. What more could you ask for a great b-movie?
Campbell & company crash land back on Earth after 40 years of cryogenic space sleep, only to find that the world is taken over by aliens who have a penchant for...lumber?!? Him and his crew are forcibly shackled and made to work with wood from morning to night. Fed up, Campbell takes a band of downtrodden slaves who slowly become a full-fledged army in the hopes of joining the rebellion planed by the US president, hidden somewhere in the hills. Through his homeopathic ability as a "doctor", he straightens, and illegitimately operates on a few characters who afterward accept to join his army. Invariably, Campbell becomes the leader of this army, and soon takes on his alien captors. Who will win in the end? That shouldn't be hard to figure out..
DVD Review: Great Bruce Campbell Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
The acting is terrible. The effects are cheap. The plot is weak. The dialog is goofy. But so what! Its great fun to watch.
Bruce Campbell battles nine foot tall bugs and kills them all. Great campy fun. I enjoyed it all.
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.
