Pretty Good

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The concept for this alien invasion movie didn't seem bad to me at all, and knowing its budget and the fact that it is a TV-movie from the Syfy channel, I didn't expect to be complaining about the cheap looks and feel of this movie. Now, I haven't seen that much of their stuff, but I think I can safely say most of the effects in this movie look terrible, and story-wise there are a lot of, to put it friendly, "connections" with famous alien invasion movie, "Independence Day".For example, there is a guy who used to be a pilot and who is now a drunk, who tells stories all the time about being assaulted by aliens. Remember him? Then there is the way the alien spaceships hover above large cities or other locations. The spaceships themselves, besides looking terribly fake, look stolen from "Independence Day". Flying into the aliens' central ship to destroy them also was too much of a resemblance.The world seems very empty in this movie and a lot of the times when there are people around, they certainly don't act like aliens are coming.Now, spoiler alert, but the aliens also do inexplicable stuff I just have to mention. Why would the aliens, besides going to big cities in the world, go to the protagonist's house, and then blow it up? And how would no one in the world notice? Yes, the guy had this little item they wanted, but still...the whole scene was completely ridiculous.The cast has little to work with and although not completely bad, hence doesn't deliver any really interesting stuff. A very bland science fiction movie.

This is classic SyFy fare. Bad acting, plot holes galore and ripping off bigger budget mainstream movies - c'mon, admit it. You couldn't miss the similarities between this film and Independence Day they were so obvious.The only two cast names I recognised were Denise Crosby and Greg Evigan (had to look him up to confirm he was in B.J. & The Bear) and they did a competent job in their roles. It would be nice to say the same for everyone else who signed up to ride this awful thing.If you've got about 90 minutes to kill and you're not fussed about being intelligently entertained, this is the movie for you. It isn't Sharknado, but you might find yourself yelling at your television hoping that the stupid goes away at some stage.

I guess we expect SciFi (Sorry – I CANNOT call it "SyFy") channel's offerings to be low budget, which means unimpressive SFX/CGI, and this is no exception. They have to work to a budget, so we have to accept that the effects won't look like Star Wars or Jurassic Park. However, what I can't forgive is acting that ranges from indifferent (Greg Evigan and Denise Crosby) to low grade prep school drama group amateur (pretty much the rest of the cast). Worse, the script was a joke. I think it was the late great Sam Goldwyn who once said of a script he was presented with "I could eat alphabetti spaghetti and puke a better script than this". Had he said this of this script, he would have been being kind to them. That just about sums up this film!

Another SyFy Channel movie to grace the screen, but unfortunately this one doesn't extinguish itself from the rest of the bunch. And it is essentially a very predictable Sci-Fi movie.The story is about a group of middle aged, retired soldiers saving planet earth from aliens! A unit of extraterrestrial special operatives are sent into retirement, but have to don their uniforms and weapons one last time as aliens return to Earth to invade the planet for some unknown reason.And as it is with these kind of movies, then you know the ending right from the very beginning. And true enough, the movie does not let down the audience on this account."Invasion Roswell" suffered badly from a predictable storyline and bad CGI effects, which essentially was the killer of the enjoyment for the movie, as the acting done by the people on the cast list was actually good enough - but they just had very little to work with.It should be said that the alien suits were actually looking nice, although it sort of took the entire alien being away from the movie as they wore helmets and we only got to see one alien while it was undergoing an autopsy.When we are first introduced to the alien weapons, I nearly spilled my drink. The weapons looked so much like those toy guns you can get for the PlayStation 3 Move controllers - into which you put the controller and wield the combined two pieces like an actual "weapon". It was hilarious."Invasion Roswell" might actually have something to offer to the audience that enjoy cheesy, campy and generic Sci-Fi movies. This is not a million-dollar Hollywood CGI-fest, so don't get your hopes up. For me, despite its predictability and cheesiness, then "Invasion Roswell" gets a 3 out of 10 rating - there is just something bizarrely entertaining about these campy movies.
