Watch Alien Outpost For Free

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

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

Earth has been invaded, somewhat successfully. The United Space Defense Force (USDF, not much to do with the once United States) was formed to respond after most human governments were rendered useless. Strong counter-attacks by the USDF sent most of the aliens packing, but bastions of aliens remain. USDF funding dropped after the departure of most of the aliens, and the further fall of the world economy. However, a reduced number of aliens are still about and are still dangerous. The USDF does what it can on a shoestring budget. The main action of the film is set in territory once part of an Islamic nation, probably Pakistan or Afghanistan since the locals speak Pashto. The year is 2033.The USDF personnel have to fight the aliens in a high-tech (aliens) versus low-tech (USDF) setting. The USDF has to deal with the often unfriendly locals in a low-tech versus no-tech setting. The particular outpost where the action occurs has to deal with shortages of munitions, trained (or any) replacement troops, food, and weapons. The support of the outpost from distant, better funded bases seems spotty at best. Are the outposts and the bases even on the same team?Who will 'win' the wars of attrition? Will it be the desert, the locals, the USDF, or the aliens? Or will the USDF and the aliens lose to the patient desert? Will there be any changes in alliances?The elements of the film are not all that well put together. This includes: CGI intervals, ex post facto troop interviews that were expertly shot, intertitles with expository text held on screen for long periods, discussions among troops during ordinary times (cleaning guns, washing dishes, sleeping, and so on), and shaky cam action sequences.---The presentation is a bit rocky, but it's still a decent action film.

I have to admit I was a little skeptical when I sat down at home to watch this because most of what I read about it was not favorable, however I kept the usual open mind and switched on. One of the first things that caused a minor frown was seeing a 1950's built Bell chopper like those used during Vietnam still operating with the military in 2033, Very odd seeing an 80 year old helicopter still in active service, this was totally ridiculous but perhaps I am being too picky, maybe the US government couldn't afford to update them. Joking apart I decided to focus on the fact that this was a low budget movie and to behave myself. Anyway look at Pitch Black another low budget movie but now considered a classic by many including myself. Alien Outpost doesn't have a particularly original storyline or indeed style, acting was poor in places yet good in parts. Special effects were few but perfectly acceptable. Is this a great movie? No it isn't but it did do several things I require of any movie I watch and that is to keep my attention and entertained. Overall I found it very engaging and as it progressed, the characterizations became more interesting and a deeper sense of involvement and concern as to how things would turn out became more important to me. Although I didn't really recognize any of the actors which is not really an issue, the chap in charge, a Jean Claude Damme kind of (loosely lookalike amused me immensely. Will i ever watch this again? definitely

I am so glad I watched this in spite of the low rating. I almost never watch anything below a 6 but there were so many good reviews that I took a chance. I think the reason for the low rating is that the bad reviewers did not even watch the whole movie, skipping through much of it. They missed many essential plot points, like the reason the locals were hostile. Or they judge a film primarily by how much of a Hollywood blockbuster it is, or demand state of the art special effects. I judge a film by character development, story, what is done with the budget they do have, acting, etc. And I like Indie films and sci-fi, and high end sci-fi at that. I don't think this was a "B movie" as many have called it; don't get that. The story is very plausible, scientifically, since we have sent out greetings to the universe as if every advanced civilization will be a better version than we are (granted, at this point, it would be a long shot if anyone found our greetings or spacecraft yet, but I think it will happen sometime in the far future). I love documentary style movies, which this is, and although I have never been in the military, from what I know, it seemed pretty accurate to me (as accurate as any movie is about anything). They did a good job on the sfx, dealing with the low budget well, and possibly causing the time period to be after the invasion, rather than during, which required less sfx. Many reviewers have criticized it for lack of more modern military hardware by 2033, but that is only 18 yrs hence, which is like comparing 1998 to 2015, so not like the distant future or anything. It would be very difficult to make great leaps in weapons while the whole world and its infrastructure/economy is being attacked, and any movement in that area would be specific to just a few vital efforts, as the movie shows. Plus I think lessons have been learned, like 2001 was not like the movie, by any stretch of the imagination (and esp the movie 2010), nor was 1984 anything like the book (thank goodness) and they were set at least twice as far in the future as this movie. You have to be careful when imagining the future. An opening for a sequel might have been there (or just part of the ending, which was good), and I hope there is one, we need more good sci-fi, IMO. This is obviously a talented director who did a very commendable job with few resources, and good casting using the huge pool of good non-stars out there. Very good cinematography also. It is a good watch if you care more about an overall good movie than essentially watching a video game with big budget sfx with big name not-so-great actors.
