Aliens vs Avatars (2011)

the audience applauded

Simply Perfect

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

From the title of the movie and that it's low-budget you shouldn't expect very much. But there are some examples of low-budget movies with strange title. Aliens vs. Avatars is not one of these though, these factors would be taken into account and forgiven if the movie in question showed signs of any effort but if there was an ounce of effort in Aliens vs. Avatars it was impossible to spot.The movie does look cheap even for low-budget, any ropey special effects would be forgiven but these effects are worse than ropey, even worse in fact than a rushed last-minute job. Not in a while have I seen special effects this fake. Unfortunately the rest of the production values are little better, with garish sets, costumes that would leave one one quarter-crying with laughter and three-quarters-cringing in embarrassment(especially the left-over rubber suit for the robotar) and camera work so jumpy and haphazard that it'd make epileptics uncomfortable(speaking as one myself so there is no discrimination here intended). The music is so out of place and inappropriate that it sounds like it belongs in a completely different movie.As for the writing, that's even worse. It didn't sound or feel like that the movie had a proper script, because the dialogue is so awkwardly delivered, giving it an improvisatory feel(but with none of the actors being good at it), and incredibly random. The story is very lazy in pace and so structurally scant that if one thought that the movie was without a plot it would be entirely excusable. What there is of one makes very little if any sense, Ava's origins story and her purpose in the story is more perplexing than intriguing, and there is an overkill of nudity, almost all of it irrelevant and just there for the sake of it. There is some lazy direction going on here and the characters don't engage at all, the human characters are like annoying planks of wood, the robotar is underused and is only memorable for his man-in-a-rubber-suit-like appearance and Ava's barely in it either and serves very little point to the story(if her background was explored better that'd get a different reaction). The acting is poor all round and that's being kind, Victoria De Mare is the only one who stands out and that's more to do with her looks than her acting.Overall, laughably terrible with nothing good about it. As for whether it entertains in the unintentional humour department, this viewer did find it too inept for that. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Unfortunately, this is not a review, its a warning! and unfortunately it takes more time of my life. Time witch I have already retardedly wasted on this indescribable vomit. It is actually so bad it might even be dangerous for you to watch. You may want to consider self mutilation as an optionally pursuit. To even mention words as acting, movie or script, makes no sense. This is so by far worst of all worst, that you have to redefine the word. Turn of your TV first and then watch it, would be a time better spent. It is so dreadful that it might already be forbidden in some countries.Is it really that bad, you might ask...well flush you head in the toilet for 80 min, and you just might...No, this misery is even worse. From 1-10 its very close to...that feeling you might have after you just succeeded to rape yourself with a knife and a hammer. Someone said that, Plan nine from outer space is the worst film ever made...hmm,well that might be true, but that is at least a film, this is just 80 minutes of disturbance.

I watched that flick a few days ago. Of course not completely. I guess nobody ever did.The most interesting fact about that movie is that it was directed by Lewis Schoenbrun. I did not knew that guy till yet. But it seems that he is some kind of mentally ill reincarnation of Ed Wood.The movie is really not worth any description. There is a blue avatarish creature in a spaceship orbiting earth, a Pretator like other creature and a Lost in Space (1965) look a like robot. Also some college students. All of them interact somehow without any sense or story line. They walk around on grass, now and then you see a tree. Guess the whole film location was not bigger then 100 square meters. (Maybe somebody's garden or a lawn beside a motorway station?) Oh! Also there are some laser beams in a 1970s movie stile.I was fascinated by the most unnecessary nudity plot ever added into a movie. Its somewhere at the beginning of the film. Some chicks hike to a cabin. Then one of both instantly starts undressing while the other one walks without any reason a few meters into the forest. The conversation and the music gives you the feeling that you got accidentally the wrong disc and you are watching some kind of weired hiking soft porn. The second chick undresses during she walks into the forest and apparently just throws her cloth on the ground. Which really makes no sense in any way. After making sure that you have seen enough breasts, the predator thing shows up and kill her or whatever, i do not care.Well if you wanna see the most unnecessary nudity scene ever, then watch the movie to this point. Then hit the stop button and bump your head for the next 40 minutes rhythmic against the wall. I guarantee you! It will be much more fun and hurt less then watching the rest of the flick.

How can anybody make such a terrible sci-fi movie ?! You can't possibly imagine it to be any worse . This movie just achieved the highest level of sucking in whatever aspect imaginable ! In fact it is so terribly bad that makes you think it's made by the greatest mind of 21th century ! And you ask why is that ? Paying attention to every little Sucky detail and making it suck even more is not something ordinary men can do , it needs a genius man, getting help from a genius crew, doing a lot of thinking and hard work . So if this was the goal of the staff of the movie(sucking as much as possible in 70 minutes), then I should say they achieved it perfectly, no hesitation whatsoever ! Considering this fact we can say :DIRECTING : Simply brilliant ---ACTING : Marginally the best acting possible to mankind ---VISUAL EFFECTS : OMG! I am sure they found real Aliens and Avatars, made them furious of each other somehow,started filming their war,got caught in the middle,survived the war,edited the valuable footage and rolled it out as a movie ,cause otherwise how could everything in the movie be so real !!!!!!!!All the above aside , I think if you watch this movie as a comedy everything starts to change ! Then it's definitely a astonishing comedy with lots of laugh and fun !
