More art project than movie, Alien Trespass succeeds as a fond remembrance of sci-fi features past and as an immersive set of visuals but mostly fails in terms of plot and characters. While the ironic and faux-earnest dialog has it moments (when the alien ?Urp? takes over Ted?s body he repeats the phrase ?Ted wants you to be safe? ? this becomes ?Urp wants you to be safe? after he develops a relationship with another character independent of Ted) it eventually runs low on its supply of clever. Eric McCormack represents inspired casting as his natural flat delivery serves him well as Urp and his natural Wade Clever mien capture Ted exactly. Urp?s foil is played by Robert Patrick?s whose big break apparently did not come in mega-film ?Terminator 2.? What went wrong there? In summary, if you are a fan of 50s sci-fi and in the market more for something to look at rather than think about and generally don?t expect too much, you might not be let down with Alien Trespass.
