One of my all time favorites.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

And a pointless ending. I guess i have to leave a longer review. The acting's not great. Alot of whats happening doesn't make much sense. I had a little hope in the second act but it went to heck in the 3rd. Some good jump scares if your into that. Not really a bad-bad or a good-bad movie more a ok-bad movie. If your into alien movies, jump scares and are really really board give it a go.

I like to watch these kinds of films. I don't consider myself a filmophile or a movie buff. My movie shelf would have Troll, The Critters Anthology, the Leprechaun anthology, most of the Ernest movies, Rock and Rule, Gremlins, &c. I struggled with this film. It was boring. And the actors were not very convincing. David ran into a shell shocked man walking down the road. It seemed to contrived to be believable. The crazy farmer guy forgot to lock the back door? Okay, maybe he is a veteran with a head injury that affects his short term memory. I doubt it. The first thing any back country, good ole boy would do is load his arsenal, pick his favorite firearm and sidearm and knife and backup pistol and then bolt down the house. Why do writers do such lazy things? There were probably lots of budget restraints. One suggestion is very simple. The farmer could say "Oh no. It busted the lock on the back door!". The same thing happened in "Aliens. The survivors forgot to seal the ceiling ducts alongside all the other barricades. You would think Ripley would have had some idea about that from being on starships with labyrinthine corridors and space age tubes (Um, a pipe? Yeah, one of those). But that was a more believable mistake. Maybe the back door bit was a big joke on set? The movie does a decent job of showing David's humanity as he longs to see his wife. I find it funny that Mormon Salt Lake is almost completely overrun by the "Enemy Mine" knockoff aliens. Alien invasion is probably not on the list of things to prepare for as a good Mormon. The scene where David runs towards his wife while people run away and marines fight the aliens is so unbelievable. There aren't that many black people in Salt Lake City in such close proximity. The casting person should have gotten some Pacific islanders for that part. Oh wait. The extras were running in terror with blank expressions on their face. Nope. That wouldn't have worked either.The end running scene was comical. No human soldiers fired a single shot but a guy was reloading for like 45 seconds. All the running extras did not like scared for their lives. They had a "light jogging" face. I know i am joking about the movie. I get it's tough to make a film. It's a lot of work. The writer tried to go for the human angle instead of the big picture. The problem is that there needed to be more big picture to develop the world. David did not once ask the road crew or soldiers why all the roads were blocked (I don't remember him doing that). Anyone experiencing that would ask that question. The scope of the film failed to portray an alien invasion. This movie made David look like a self-absorbed person who doesn't really care about the world outside of his problems. People were dying around him and all he could think about was finding his cheating wife. The movie's thumbnail shows a gunner shooting a 240 out the back of a Chinook. That never happened. What did anything in the movie have to do with the name "Alienate"? Was it because David was alienated from the chaos around him? Or maybe Alienate is a verb and used in the same context as "Inseminate". The aliens "alienated" the planet when they invaded.I give this film an A for effort... but a C+ for application. There are better films out there. Only watch this if You are a die-hard alien invasion fan.

My summary is the entire plot of this movie. The rest of the movie is a bunch of cry-baby dialog, unnatural actions (I blame the director) and more cry-baby dialog. There were a few seconds of some alien drones, but they were not impressive in the least. If you are a fledgling amateur movie producer, this movie could be an inspiration in that anyone (including you) could make a better movie than this 1.

This was a movie I went into completely blind, kind of expecting to think it to be not worth my time. It turned out better than I expected! Yes, the jumping back and forth in time was distracting, but not difficult to follow if you were paying attention. The special effects are about what you'd expect from a made-for-TV movie, if not a little better. The setting was unexpected and refreshing. Certainly not the best movie out there, but not the worst, either. I'd recommend it.
