KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

blackwellh If there was a lower rating, I would give it. Watched it in the wee hours of the morning when I could not sleep. This is 90 minutes of my life I would like back. Kept hoping it would put me to sleep. Finally went to sleep thinking it was bad, woke up convinced I was right. Made all those campy SCI-FI Channel original movies look like big budget affairs. Heidi Fleiss is not an actress - where did they get these people? Are they former porn stars or something? Even if I were drunk out of my mind, I would find nothing entertaining about this movie. All of the characters got on my nerves. And even though I was happy that the movie ended, I was not happy with the ending. I rate it just above some weird British movie I saw once about naked alien vampires. Prime MST2000 material.

Captain_Obviuos I made the mistake of devoting some minutes I'll never live again to this garbage of a movie. I can't say bad enough things about it. The people who funded (which means they evidently rented a video camera and then attached it to the back of a wild animal, based on the tracking and POV shots) this travesty should be banned from ever making another film. Like Tom Hanks and "Bachelor Party," this is one you'll never see on an actor/actress' resume'. I enjoy bad movies, but even I can't recommend this, on ANY level: It's not campy, it's not witty, it's not even remotely entertaining. Skip over it if you see it on Starz (as I did), and don't spend your hard-earned money/time on it, either. I'm just trying to save you the trouble and pain.

megoobee Let's all be clear about this, this is a low budget movie. How low you might ask? Hmm, I think slightly above what college kids are doing in film making. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against low budget movies, there have been quite a few low budget movies I've seen that I've enjoyed. However, regardless of how much was paid to make the movie, a movie needs a good story, good acting, decent effects, etc., nothing of which was present in this horrible feature. You got druggies, alcoholics, dumb people, no real characters to speak of. The so called expert goes around dressed like a teenager; Huh? Are we to believe that she is a master scientist? The Sheriff is only one brick higher in intelligence than his lain-brain deputy. So what happens in the movie? I dunno. Was there a message in the movie? I dunno. Is there any point to the movie? None that I can discern. So if you take away the non-existent story, terrible acting, poor directing, what are you left with? 1.5 hours of your life that you won't lose like I did.

marshaul I am writing this in response to the previous reviewer, because he said it was the worst movie ever.Some of us (perhaps those who watched more than 15 minutes) would disagree.I found myself watching this because I thought I was watching Alien vs. Predator. At first I didn't notice - that's probably what kept me going, because the initial scene was a little bit TOO bad. However, somewhere before the second scene and after the extreme badness of the first, I found myself laughing hysterically. Sure, the acting and the special effects aren't first rate. What you need to ask yourself is - "would you want them to be?" If you answer "Yes," then go watch something else. But if you answer "No, not necessarily" or "No ****ing way!" then this is for you.This movie is, of course, best watched as a comedy, despite whatever other genres it might fit into. The dialogue is clever, and the "bad" acting is good enough that every line is delivered with the perfect amount of stupidity; the story is much the same, dumb enough to entertain but not in such a way as to drag on forever. The bad special effects are, needless to say, part of the humor.Sure, this isn't a "new" idea - people have been making films that specialize in being bad (yet good) films for years - Roger Corman started in the early fifties and made a career doing it, and he wasn't the first - and sure, its not a formula that always works (in fact, sort of by definition, when it fails, it fails BIG). But for Alien 51, the formula works.
