LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Leofwine_draca I have to admit that the title for this 1990s TV movie is pretty cool and it sets up a situation which never actually arises. Instead, the narrative of this film sees a couple of aliens escape from Roswell. They disguise themselves as humans - one male, one female - and split up, going on different routes. The female is determined to destroy the planet while the male ends up falling in love with an Earthling and becoming a father figure to her child.It's all very cheesy and low rent, focusing on romantic situations rather than the alien combat stuff you'd hope for. It doesn't help that the cast is universally poor, particularly from the stiff guy playing the male alien, and a lot of it feels twee and rather schmaltzy. The script is very much by the book, and there are few scenes of genuine incident or special effects to make this resemble a science fiction movie in any way, shape, or form. Instead it's a bore of a film, and one to be avoided in all instances.

PHASEDK As usual I missed the start, UK satellite Horror Channel but I saw most of it and IT kept me interested. Some of these comments have made me realise some people didn't listen or watch properly. There were answers, as some others have now said. Some women may find the, quiet,mystery man different.. that made me laugh. So he has a gismo that can do things. When the woman hes with turns up, aha, good twist.. fact is I recognised many 'facts' mentioned, and it made a change to have an educated, 'seen it all' type base boss. I found none of this impossible. It was a good alternate story of what could have happened at Rosswell and for all we know did. NO one apart from those there at the time know? The end narrative..jump to 'now' when the story was being told from.. again, food for thought for anyone who may still wonder if its possible. Shame more of us haven't the brain to at least wonder.. sci fi often predicts the future, Star Trek manuals.. they make sense, Roddenberry still makes me wonder if he knew more. The people that wrote the manuals.. known physics expanded. Thoroughly well made over all. Sparce special effects, just what was needed. Kids now expect more. We remember cardboard boulders from Trek and the Brit earlier TV sci fi limited budgets.. they had charm. I'd recommend this film to anyone, but the title, the impression of an 'Indepndance Day' attack.. nope.

Chromium_5 Two aliens, a man and a woman, come to Earth wanting to blow it up (you can tell they're aliens because they can turn their eyes green). The man alien befriends a woman and her son and changes his mind, but the evil woman alien stays with the mission, while dabbling in prostitution. Then the man alien has to stop her. The corniest part of the movie is the little hand-held tool the aliens use. It apparently can do ANYTHING. All you have to do is hold it up, and it does what you want: uses tiny lasers to pinpoint a specific location on a paper road map, shoots people, whatever. Exactly what kind of technology is THAT? Why couldn't the aliens just hold it up and command it to blow up the earth? Instead they have to go to a military base and "recharge" an atomic bomb.Definitely not high-quality material, but it's one of those movies to watch late at night when nothing else is on. I watched it just to see what happened, which I guess is good, because it means the movie kept my interest. I'll give it a solid 5/10 stars for giving me something to do.

CharltonBoy Roswell:The Aliens attack is one of those films that is so poor is lots of different ways that it has a certain charm and you cant help but like it despite all it's faults. It is the story of aliens that land in Roswell , Where else!,and their mission is to destroy earth by detonating an atom bomb held on the army base big enough to destroy the earth. There are so many holes in the story that it would take ages to go through them but here are a few questions that have to be asked. 1.Why when the aliens had the technology to come to earth did they not have the know how to blow the planet up without using 1940's weaponary? 2.Why was the bomb stored in the middle of what looked like a school gym with the army's youngest member keeping guard? 3.Why did the widow take such a shine to the male alien when he hardly spoke and didnt even smile? Was she that desperate to get laid? 4.Who were the aliens that were found dead? These are just some of the questions that spring to mind and believe me there are many more. The acting is not bad at all ,which is a suprise considering the laughable script. If you can suspend belief in reality and the fact that story is so silly you might actually like this. 6 out of 10.
