Los reos vs el invasor

In the first of several explosions in this(except for one that is real, they are all poorly CGI'ed, so don't get your hopes up), an alien craft crashes onto Earth. I think, we barely see it. Anyway, this really worries the senior citizens working at Luke Airforce base, so they send out some bubble-gum-chewing soldiers, only for them to die at the hand of confusing quick cuts, some of which may contain a trace of the creatures. Well, this flick mainly concerns itself with the prisoners escaping their transport bus who bring along the guards as hostages(complete with an attractive female working at the pen, just to complete the rip-off of Con Air... and *yes*, there is even someone who needs medical attention among them) who find themselves in a seemingly abandoned town that is obviously where the extra-terrestrials are hiding. One of the criminals thinks he's Michael Madsen(don't feel bad, at first glance, I kinda thought you were, too, dude), and he's kind of in charge. There's some tension and a few physical fights, and if the characters weren't so boring, stereotypical and clichéd, we'd probably care. We do eventually see the outer space beings for more than a single frame, and the designs are decent(if one is unmistakably a man in a suit), if there's little violence or gore. Even the sex scene is merely hinted at! Come on, this isn't an artistic piece, it's a B movie, don't you know your audience? This nearly always shuns away from what we want to see! There are two hot chicks in this, though. The acting is pretty bad. This is only 83 minutes sans credits, and it simply doesn't deliver what we expect of it. It isn't entertaining(not even in the "so bad it's good" way), and it tries to be smarter than it is, and fails(and if it didn't, it would still be aiming wrong). Also, at times, it's like they just learned how to use the equipment; at one point they clearly move too close to the lighting setup, and with some footage, it's very easy to tell that it was sped-up. I recommend this only to those who won't listen to the warning. Oh, and conspiracy theorists might get a kick out of the very opening and the "bonus scene" at the end. 1/10

I've seen worse and I've seen better. But overall, this is a nice little low-budget Sci Fi movie.

It is set in a fictional town called Salena in Arizona, which is the real life town of Superior, AZ. The plot is pretty basic and predictable, about a group of people trying to escape from mysterious aliens. There is a lot of blood and screaming and some cheap scares. The characters are not particularly likable, but what can you expect since they are mainly escaped prisoners?

Since I have a house in Superior, it was especially enjoyable to me to see the town. But, I was disappointed that the film failed to capture the beauty of the town.

Overall, I give this a 6 out of 10. I enjoyed it but wished it would have been better scripted and acted.

This was by far the worst movie I've ever seen. And thats compared to Alexander, Fortress 2 and The new world.

I should go back to blockbuster and ask for my money back along with compensation as it was a truly traumatic experience. For the first ten minutes i was changing the zoom on my widescreen TV because the actors seemed to be out of screen. I didn't think it was possible to make such a bad film in this day and age, i was wrong. While typing this message, I've thought of a good reason to buy this movie. A joke present at Xmas. I'm blaming the Mrs for this one as she picked it, thanks babe.

Be warned.......A true shocker all round!!!!!!

B-movies I can understand, but why to people made stuff as low as Alien Invasion Arizona? Definitely Z-grade material, I doubt if the makers even went to film school, or the cast to acting school. Films like this are probably made just for fun. This is what you get when you round up a dozen friends, rent a truck of gear with finance from some 'ma and pa' operation, get a locations permit, and maybe a hundred dollars worth of props/costumes from the halloween store. That is pretty cheap, and unless you know what you are doing, the result is gonna be pretty darn cheap.

A group of prisoners high jack the transport taking them to jail. They march their 'rookie cop' hostages to the nearest town, which is supposed to be a rendezvous. They find the place to be totally deserted, and next they find out why. a swarm of reptilian like aliens, have worked their way from under ground to the surface and have eaten every body. Now their next meal has walked into town.

The creatures in this film are the most rubbery I think I've seen since Roger Corman's Carnosaur trilogy. They were clearly designed based on the one in Ridley Scott's masterpiece, but they are not even a hundredth of the way to being as intimidating as that one.

There is no reason to see this film, which is why it has gotten no release. Long may it be that way.

No budget direct to video tale of aliens in Arizona involving the military and escaped convicts.

Not bad as such, rather it suffers from the cast and crew sort of going through the paces instead of trying to sell it. Its as if they knew they were in a grade z movie and want you to know they know. Then again maybe they just couldn't get it together.

A misfire of a grade z movie that could have been something if some one cared--and had skill. Why must low budget filmmakers insist on not actually trying to make a something good instead of just making a product.

2 out of 10 because nothing comes together
