Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

VeraWade 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.

ritchiealan 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!

TheLittleSongbird Not completely terrible. The best aspect is the acting which is reasonably good, especially from Greg Evigan and Denise Crosby. Their general professionalism however deserved a much better movie. The photography, editing and the way it's shot is hardly incompetent though their quality's not particularly note-worthy. The special effects is a good starting point to why Invasion Roswell is not a good movie, at best they're laughable and unfinished-looking. And let's not get started on the alien weapons, I do agree that they look like children's toys. The story is not involving at all, that it's so predictable that you can smell the ending a mile away is one thing but there's also very little fun, suspenseful or thrilling on display, there are moments but they are too far and between. The dialogue is painfully under-written and trite, the direction is completely flat and the characters are little more than ciphers that don't do much of a good job moving the story forward. The aliens are not much of a threat, very lacking in personality and presence. Overall, not terrible or a disaster but dull and pretty poor, the acting is pretty much the only good thing about it. 3/10 Bethany Cox

wes-connors After a 1947 Roswell, New Mexico alien attack, the US has kept a top secret crew of five individuals trained in fighting off another invasion. Because the crew was getting old and the aliens did not return, they were forcibly retired. Seven years later, the aliens are coming back. Big, ugly spaceships hover over Earth's largest cities. These aliens are not shy. A newscaster reveals the alien race is "bent on our destruction!" After seeing the "Breaking News" on television, burly Greg Evigan (as Patrick Conte) is assaulted by a human-like form in a metal-like spacesuit. Fortunately for Mr. Evigan, he has an occasionally bluish glowing object which seems to scare the attacker back into its spaceship...Evigan decides, "I have to get the team back together." First, he locates seemingly loony John Francis (as George), who frets about an anal probe but often seems willing to drop trou for more action. Next re-recruited are gun-collecting Clarence Smith (as Tweety) and cowboy-type hunter Daniel Hugh Kelly (as David). Smart graying blonde Denise Crosby (as Linda) rounds out the quintet. One of the only sensible things we learn is that 66 years isn't such a long time between visits, considering the number of light-years the extra-terrestrials must be traveling. Apparently, the aliens have watched the "Star Wars" film series with much admiration. "Invasion Roswell" otherwise makes only a little sense.** Invasion Roswell (8/8/13) David Flores ~ Greg Evigan, Denise Crosby, John Francis, David Hugh Kelly
