Absolutely Fantastic

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I was one of the lucky ones. I got to watch this bore-fest for free because I had an advance viewing.Aside from a very weak story and a very long set up, this was dreadfully tiring to watch because of non-stop swearing which didn't add anything to the movie, but really took away from it.There were unneeded sex scenes and prolonged opening bar scenes which once again did nothing to add to the story, but rather took away from it.As a British citizen myself, I found this extremely hard to understand because of poor dialogue and bad actors delivering not only boring, bland and uninteresting dialog - but also being very hard to understand because of very thick accents and very poor editing and sound recording.The camera work is shaky and sloppy, the story is shaky and sloppy, the actors are shaky and sloppy...in general - the entire movie is just shaky and sloppy.I saved the cost of a rental or purchase and still din't benefit from that.

I'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!

U.F.O is a real mess of a movie... a mixture of genres that go together about as well as oil and water. On the bright side though, it's a MUCH better film than the opening moments would suggest. During them, we see a bunch of idiots drinking at one of those awful rave parties, where they move like zombies and exchange the most pathetic chat-up lines ever. Then, we have two simultaneous sexual encounters... interspersed with footage of someone vomiting into a toilet. Nice. Fortunately, the next morning, the power goes out, mysterious ships start appearing in the sky... and things get a LITTLE more interesting...Everything here feels perfunctory... there are a few moments where we see people panic-buying, and turning on each other... but nowhere near enough, considering the situation. Instead, we get a few mildly diverting space battles, some oddly placed martial-art fights (Well, Jean-Claude Van Damme DOES appear for all of 10 minutes, they had to give him SOMETHING to do), lots of bickering and plenty of unnecessary supporting characters. Injured little girl, and the 'comedy' duo of soldiers, I'm looking at YOU.It really is hard to make sense of anything that's going on. WHY are the aliens identifiable by a tattoo? WHAT is that damn preacher banging on about? WHEN the evil extraterrestrial girl has a chance to kill all the goodies, why doesn't she take it? Other not-so important stuff apparently includes where the UFOs came from, what their goal might be, what they look like when they're not disguised as people... etc. And as for the clusterf*** (Yep, I went there) of a conclusion... Answers on a postcard pls to tell me what the heck was happening. Be careful, though you may lose your mind trying to figure it out. Still, at least it's better than the Roy Chubby Brown flick of the same name. Now THAT'S a quote to put on the posters... 4/10

The premise for the movie is great, coupled with a solid performance from Jean Claude van Damme. I would have liked to see more of him but we can't all get everything we want. Though the blow is reduced by having Bianca Bree on screen who is not only talented in the martial arts department but is also stunning.This film shows that British cinema is on the up and up, so things are heading to a great level.The film takes a short while to kick in but is worth the wait to see the great visual effects and developing storyline. It was refreshing to see a film tell its story from a non conventional perspective and I felt true jeopardy for every character which is rare in this type of film.I used to give a movie 15 minutes before I moved on but I'm glad I changed my policy before I saw this. A solid 8/10 in my eyes, considering its apparent budget. Much Much better than After Earth so that's a point in the win column.
