Alien Species (1998)
8/10
A well done, entertaining film undeserving of review ratings

I don't know where these vicious reviewers came from but I've seen some horrendous schlock films get better reviews and better ratings. Even the worst of the worst were not defiled like this group of post XGen reviewers looking for anything they can trash. Especially if it was from their parents generation.

This movie doesn't deserve the treatment it has received from this group. In fact, it looks like an organized trashing effort from someone who has a personal bone to pick who gathered his friends to help attack this movie. Anarchistic shallow mentality by their own declarations of intent.

The story is good. The film & sound quality are clear. The camera-work is professional. The editing has good continuity. The screenplay & dialogue are well done. The dialogue has depth. The Actors all deliver their lines well. There is Entertaining riveting Action from beginning to end. The special effects & alien technologies are well done. Even the ending song & performance were worthy of a top 10 hit record.

I don't see the problem these neophytes are complaining about. The only weak points would be the need for better lighting on the night scenes and less screaming by the females. While the characters prevailed at the ending it was clearly left open for a series or sequel.

This movie is just as good as the acclaimed "Species" and certainly as good or better than the sci-fi schlock produced over the past 15 years.

These reviewers are just being nasty for means sake because they thrive on destruction. What kind of true Sci-fi fan would trash Independence Day? Consider what kind of people are posting these unfair, rotten reviews. These attacks are unfounded & undeserved. They must find pleasure out of trashing an undeserving film. A power play to satiate a need to bully. Certainly not genuine sci-fi fans.

Check out the reviews on The phantom planet or the war of the planets for review comparisons. Those were far worse productions with far less criticism.

This was an enjoyable film. Maybe not a great film but quite well done & holds your attention throughout. It has a lot more depth to the alien attacks than most major films with high ratings.
