Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
cdreid1 It's hard to understand the low rating as ALL the other reviews mentioned. One of companies that skew IMDb ratings must have something against the director (yes film companies pay companies to skew IMDb ratings ). It's a brilliant war film. With a realistic alien component. Watch it you'll be glad you did
tumtum57 This movie seems to be really underrated. Many people seem to see everything that's not full of expensive special effects as automatically sub par. Which is a real shame when looking at a movie like outpost 37 (aka: Alien Outpost).Although the acting wasn't always consistently top notch, it was good enough over all to keep me invested in the characters and story. The setting of the story was great. For a change humanity isn't the complete underdog from the get go, this perfectly lends itself to a scenario in which the protagonists get slowly and unexpectedly overwhelmed. I can't think of a single actor in this film which didn't deliver this feeling of a degenerating situation well.Like I said earlier the special effects are a bit sparse (I'm sure due to budget constraints) but the way the movie is set up they really worked around this problem. You get just enough to hook you into the science fiction setting.I really would like to see a sequel with a bigger budget to really show of the sci-fi elements and strengthen the setting. A personal preference of mine would be to use a lot of practical effects, although the makers of his movie already use some very good ones from time to time.Al in all I think this movie is definitely worth a watch, I would give it a 7/10 but to counter some of the naysayers (and because I really want a sequel I'll make it an 8/10 instead.
daveleejoiner really do not understand the low scores for this movie, not the best introduction with admittedly pretty bog standard cgi, but once you get past this kind of standard formula stuff, the movie really kicks in, the first half hour is a little slow and pretty much like any standard 'war' movie, but as it progresses the film only improves, whilst not relying on effects, the effects are acceptable, ten years ago this kind of movie would have cost significantly more to produce, a sure sign of the times that great movies like this one can be produced now for much less money and create movies much better than many 'blockbusters' with big stars, great little gem, watch it and judge it, we enjoyed it anyway.
Afotey Annum Alien Outpost (AKA Outpost 37) tells the story of the last human military outpost on Earth left to fight off what's left of a hostile invading extraterrestrial force. This was a really good piece IMHO. I thought that the sense of realism it gave off was excellent. I found it refreshing, to be honest. Full Disclosure Moment™: I'm a HUUUUUUGE fan of found footage/mockumentaries, so that gave this piece an extra boost in my eyes. LOLI thought the acting was great, especially the commander @ the base. He really gave an impression of being someone that commands great respect. The effects were about on par with what you might see in a SyFy Channel (WTF with that dumb ass name change! I HATE it LOL) original series. Nothing ILM quality, but totally passable. The effects simply get the job done.I like how the film paralleled today's conflict in the Middle East with an alien invasion. Themes of xenophobia are explored here in decent detail. For me, the draw was the overall feel of the thing. It felt like a real account of an actual incident that took place. Overall, I thought this film was smart, well acted and very real feeling. A bit more cerebral than the usual fare in this genre. A welcome departure from the cookie cutter nonsense we usually get with found footage films. Stick around after the end credits for a really nice post credits scene! Great setup for a possible sequel.
