Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

mherrin-43253 Area 51: Directed by Oren Peli and written by Christopher Denham and Oren PeliI have to just lay this out there for folks right off the bat. I can not stand found footage movies. That shaky cam and trying to make things realistic to make people believe that what is happening is real really make me nauseous. I get severe motion sickness from watching this type of cinema. I decided to forgoe my distaste for found footage movies because I found the idea behind this movie to be interesting. Three friends decide to sneak into Area 51 and document what they find there. Every person who is interested in aliens and UFOs know all about Area 51 and everyone wants to know what is going on there. I'm no different. I went out there to Rachel, Nevada to visit it. I got a little giddy by watching these places on the screen again. I enjoy it and I'm intrigued by it. I still have this nagging feeling though that this movie had no need to be found footage. It could have been a standard narrative and achieved far more success. When they make it into the base and the camera is still going wild, I had a difficult time determining what was happening. I wanted to know some semblance of what was happening. I wanted those moments between the friends and the woman who helps them where we learn about who they were as people. I wanted to know why they were obsessed. We never really learn much about any of them. You also find yourself asking why are they still filming when things go insane. It's the same question people ask when they watch a found footage movie. Making this a standard narrative removes that problem from the story. The ending was also blah. It has that usual bad ending that a lot of these found footage movies have and it was kinda BS. The beginning spoils this ending as well. The performances are pretty meaningless and outside of the interest in UFOs and Area 51, there's nothing to do here. It's scattered and a wasted potential. I hate to see that. I give this movie a D.

mariellealien I was entertained. It's not a great movie, but for movie night it's not too bad. Popcorn and laughs makes it better. Don't expect to be scared though, it's not scary. In some places it reminded me of Outlast/Outlast 2 and Blair Witch Project (as in the original) -but sadly with none of the scary factors.

Louise olsson Watched this as it was on TV and i couldn't sleep. It was boring apart from when they got inside but then it turned weird at the end Spoiler alertThe ending where they get lifted up is so stupid and over used in most other movies about aliens. Just boring and stupid and confusing but nothing else to watch then sure.

Kvetka Shevchenko This is a stupid film. Where are all the guards? Are we really expected to believe that if the US government had a spacecraft in Area 51 there would be no one guarding it?There's a lab with alien technology and a device that negates gravity just lying in some unlocked side room. The characters are VERY loud for people "sneaking" into top secret military base. They speak loudly and whisper loudly. They run down corridors shouting to each other, voices echoing. The girl irritatingly shout-whispers "OH MY GOD THEY'RE GOING TO HEAR US" - so stop shouting and maybe they won't hear you? Although I don't know who they think is going to hear them since according to this film no one does night shift in Area 51.They eventually set off some alarm and the only two guards that apparently are on duty chase them around a bit.The only good thing about this film is the irritating characters all probably die in the end.
