After coming home one evening from a typically bad alien movie premier (See "WeComeInBoredom"), I looked around on Google for a comprehensive site dedicated to alien movies. After not finding one, I took upon myself to categorize the meh movies ("DecentContact") to the amazing ones that even your Mom would enjoy ("NoNeedToBelieve"). Click "Ratings" for full ratings explanation and let me know what movie you'd like to see reviewed next!
Attack the Block: #TakeMeToYourDealer
Being a huge arsenal fan, I have a soft spot for any media from Britain. Techno music, crappy TV and the fun movies about a group of British kids. So, that being said I went into this low-budget movie with decent expectations.
The alien aspect was a bit off for me with very little offered in terms of why they were there and where they came from. I would almost call this more of a monsters movie, than an alien movie.
The other thing that really irked me was the acting. Any time you have a group of untested youth actors, you’ll have some impressive performances and others show their inexperience. On multiple occasions i wanted to fast forward the scene as I couldn’t stand the awkwardness.
Besides that though the movie is pretty decent. The story progresses well and I was happy to sit through a few bad moments for some good entertainment. Have a few cocktails and enjoy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this gets picked up a few years from now by the major studios and given an american re-work, with more of a horror focus.
