Due to political pressure from the American public, the Air Force has decided to allow two well-known reporters limited access to the most secretive base on the planet. But when one of the base’s “long-term visitors” exploits this unprecedented visit as a chance to liberate himself and his fellow alien captives, Area 51 turns from a secure government base to a horrifying destination of terror.

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
kaianmattmckay This film should be avoided like the plague. Even giving it one star has permanently exhausted my generosity quota.The concept is derivative and hackneyed, the script is trite and flat, the acting is hammier than a high street butchers, and the SFX are just three consonants in search of a vowel.The only good things to say about it are that a) with a budget of only about $1 million, not too much money was wasted by film industry standards, and b) it's mercifully short, at barely an hour and a half. Do yourself a favour and do literally anything apart from watching this. End of altruistic warning.
bowmanblue I first found out about Area 51 in the mid nineties as the height of the X-Files' fame. Area 51 is the codename given to a section of land in the Nevada desert in America. Allegedly, it contains the remains of crashed UFOs etc. I always thought it would make a good movie. I still think it would - the emphasis being that it would make a GOOD movie. Sadly, this is no good.Er, where do I begin? The cheap special effects? The shoddy acting? The wafer-thin characters? The ludicrous plot holes? It's all there - unfortunately.Basically, what you have here, is a made-for-TV movie, i.e. wobbly sets, unknown actors and not much more.Bottom line - it's just short of okay. Some people may like it, but not many. There are so many better alien films out there - like 'Alien' for example.Plus side - the leading lady is cute (that's probably more a plus point for the guys - I can see too many women swooning over sci-fi stalwart Bruce Boxleighter).Oh, well, never mind. I may have wasted an hour and a half of my life, but it was still more entertaining than a Transformers movie.(and, who gave this film 5/5 on Amazon? they serious must be taking the pi...)

Drago_Head_Tilt Journalists are permitted to look around the military base in the notorious Area 51, just to prove that there are no aliens there. But in the lower levels there are indeed extraterrestrial lifeforms that escape and kill. One is a faceless humanoid who can replicate anyone (leading to boring who-is-the-alien situations stolen from THE THING), the other a tentacled man-in-a-suit monster (not a bad retro creation, a cross between ALIEN and EVIL SPAWN/WASP WOMAN). Another nice, wise alien is called J. Rod. A very boring Syfy release from the Director of THE DEVIL'S TOMB. With Bruce Boxleitner as a Colonel, Jason "what happened to may career?" London and Rachel Miner as heroic grunts, John Shea as a famous news anchor and Andrew Sensenig. Mukerjee was also Co-Producer.Movie reviews @ spinegrinderweb.com
