Title: Alien Trespass
Review: I loved it. For those who missed the point here, the movie is a take on the classic 1950 sci-fi flick. It hit that target on the spot. The blu ray picture was absolutely great. The acting recreated the fifties style exactly. If you are looking for Star Wars then go buy Star Wars. I found this to be a very well done and enjoyable little movie. Glad I ignored those “other” reviews. Five stars for a superb recreation of the movies that enthralled me in my youth.

Title: Cute … But is that good?
Review: This film is well acted and beautifully filmed. It is a very nicely done modern look at 50’s retro sci-fi. It’s cute. Many folks will enjoy it. Here is my problem with this and other “modern” re-makes of the 50’s sci-fi films: 50’s sci-fi films were never trying to be cute. Those old 50s and 60s films were trying to be frightening, controversial, while exploring the edges of science and the imagination … and be entertaining at the same time. Cute was never in the mix. We look back at them now in the light of today’s mind numbing, high budget special effects and find those old films “cute” and “quaint”. Go wateh or re-watch the 1954 UNCUT version of “The Thing” … you’ll see what I mean. Still, Alien Trespass is cute, very well done and many folks will have fun watching it.

Title: They’re Having Fun! But….
Review: Okay – why did I rate it so high?Three reason;#1 – It doesn’t not intend, nor does it try, to take itself seriously. It is a ‘serious’ parody of the classic sci-fi films of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. It made me smile many times and even laugh out loud at how many of the older films in this genre really did these gimicks. (And they WERE taking themselves very serious!)#2 – It’s colorful. Watching this farse of a parody makes the colors jump at you from the screen. The costumes, cars, sets, props and even the decore are all smack out of 50’s Life Magazine. You can’t help but look at everything in the frame.#3 – Eric McCormack – Always a fan of his in the ‘Will & Grace’ TV show – I feel he was taking a very serious approach to the project. ‘Playing’ it as if it were real and being shot in the 50’s. Playing a duel role – Im sure he had a greta time doing it.In fact he did. How do I know – he told me at a pannel at the 2009 Comic Con convention for the Alien Tresspass assembly. Along with the director and orginal artwork from the film – they gave the information and great detail as to what went into it.The story is simple: Aliens need humans for food. An alien policeman is defending Earth from invasion and he is in the form of a human he takes over (surprise!) – Eric McCormack. Of course he……well I don’t want to ruin it for you!I can appreciate the performances and the people on the production side very much, but watching made me look at some of the old classic films (Forbidden Planet, Them, The Fly, The Day The Earth Stood Still) and wonder – did they know what they were making at the time?I liked it for its pure non-sensical form, mimicking style and bright colors. I think you will too. 6-8-10

Title: Great Movie
Review: I truly enjoyed the science fiction movie. It was a throwback to the movies made in the 1950’s. It had a wry sense of humor in each of it’s character depiction. And the goofy cheap looking alien monster was a hoot. I also enjoyed the mock documentary style prelude to the film. Best of all the movie was very clean (nothing that a five year could not see). This was worth every penny.

Title: Nostalgia, but that’s all…
Review: This flick is an attempt to CASH IN on the “B” Sci-fi movies of the 50s and 60s. Fine, but most of the originals are still available on remastered DVDs. So why buy or rent this? Nothing new is brought to the table! Do yourself a favor, get coppies of “Forbidden Planet”, and the original “Thing” a nice big bowl of popcorn and ENJOY. “Alien Trespass” serves well as a pay day for has been actors Dan Lauria(Wonder Years) and Robert Patrick(Terminator 2). A homage perhaps to these guys, but nothing else.

Title: Nothing is Ever as Good as Homage Pie
Review: A wonderful, insightful, homage to the ol’ creature from beyond the stars films of the 50s. Our whole family enjoyed this dvd. The kids liked the humor and the weirdness of it and we parents enjoyed the winks, nod, and humor.The framing and sound editing are extremely well done.The bonus features just add icing on the cake to the feel of the film.Kudos to all involved!

Title: Just like the 1950s sci-fi drive in movies
Review: This movie is an excellent spoof on all the 1950 sci-fi B movies. The monster is described as a horrifying monster, but is a one eyed rubber suit. It depicts all the days when there was not alot of blood and gore seen, but more implied. There are teenagers in trouble, inept police that do not believe the teenagers about the monsters. I can think of ten old sci-fi movies that this movie seems to draw from. If you grew up watching these drive-in low budget science fiction movies as I did, then you would enjoy this movie.

Review: Am Anfang läuft eine Wochenschau aus den 50er Jahren. Ein Filmproduzent erklärt vor der Kamera, dass er seinen soeben abgedrehten Streifen ALIEN TRESPASS aus rechtlichen Gründen nicht vorführen kann. Stattdessen werde er ihn einstampfen lassen.Beginn des eigentlichen Films : im Gebirge der Mojave-Wüste landet eine Art Meteor, aus dem ein Alien schlüpft. Sieht aus wie ein Baumstamm mit einem grossen Auge in der Mitte. Darauf landet ein UFO ebendort, dem ein menschenartiges Wesen im silbernen Gummianzug entsteigt. Seine Mission ist es, das Monster wieder einzufangen. Im quietschebunten benachbarten Städtchen werden uns einige Bewohner nähergebracht, darunter ein Liebespärchen, ein dröger Wissenschaftler mit erotischer Frau und das männlich-derbe Sheriff-Team. Kaum im Ort angekommen, saugt der Alien einigen braven Bürgern die Lebenssäfte aus. Panik entsteht, vor allem im Kino, wo gerade DER BLOB läuft. Die Jagd nach dem Monster beginnt.Making-Of : ein Nachrichten-Team befragt 2 Bauarbeiter bei Ausgrabungen in Hollywood. Es wurden einige verbuddelte Filmbüchsen gefunden, die den verschollen geglaubten Streifen ALIEN TRESPASS enthalten. Es folgen einige s/w Interviews mit den damaligen Schauspielern, den Abschluss bildet der farbige Trailer des Films.ALIEN TRESPASS ist ein liebevoll-naives Kleinod mit vielen Anleihen bei den wohlbekannten Sci-Fi-Streifen der 50er Jahre. Die Story ist genauso überschaubar und vorhersehbar wie seine Dialoge, aber es wurde weder beim Parodieren (sprich beim Humor), noch bei der Spannung zu sehr übertrieben. Regisseur Goodwin hat den Sinn seines Werks im Interview auf den Punkt gebracht : Hommage statt Persiflage. Entsprechend greift der Film auch reichlich auf die damals üblichen Stilmittel wie Rückpro-Aufnahmen, billige Monster-Ausstattung und die schrille Theremin-Musik (eine Art Elektro-Geige) zurück. Vielleicht genau weil das Schauspieler-Ensemble bei uns so gut wie unbekannt ist, kommen seine Darstellungen einfach, frisch und ungezwungen herüber. Der einzig mir bekannte Akteur ist Robert Patrick als unsympathischer Sheriff, der seit seinen T2-Tagen (logischerweise) sichtbar gealtert ist. Darüber hinaus punktet der Film mit seinen tollen klassischen Fahrzeugen, authentischen Kleidern und Frisuren und seiner stimmigen Ausstattung des Dorfes, die mich sehr an das künstliche Nukleartest-Gelände aus dem Streifen INDIANA JONES UND DAS KÖNIGREICH DES KRISTALLSCHÄDELS erinnert.Fazit : empfehlenswert für Fans antiker Science Fiction und solchen, die sich einfach nur mal locker mit etwas Retro-Charme unterhalten lassen möchten.Bildqualität der Blu Ray (2D) : sehr gut, sauberes Bild und satte Farben. Um einen gewissen Retro-Look beizubehalten, wurde auf eine Optimierung der grösstmöglichen Tiefenschärfe verzichtet. Ton : DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. Da gibt es m.E. nichts zu meckern.Boni : ein ‘gefakedes’ Making-Of (Kurzbeschreibung s.o.) sowie ein Interview mit dem Regisseur (je ca. 10 Min.), dazu eine Trailer-Show. Für mich ausreichend, da ich sowieso kein Freund stundenlanger Hintergrundberichte bin.
