Alien Vs. Zombies (2017)

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Zombies vs Joe Alien otherwise known as Alien vs Zombies is comedy above all else. Though it does contain adult humour this is a very light hearted affair.Telling the story of Joe, an alien who comes to earth on holiday during the zombie apocalypse and using his time travel powers seeks to save the world.It's cheesy, it looks like a Scyfy original but it has a real charm about it and some of the humour is oddly on point.It's one of those films that should have been terrible but by hook or by crook it actually came out half way decent.The cover is a lie, the zombies don't look anywhere near that good, Joe doesn't look like that (No veins, no glowing eyes, no face paint) and it's far lighter than the intense cover suggests.Go in with no expectations and you might find a laugh but do not watch on the hopes of it being a zombie movie because it truly isn't.The Good: Some great humour Brilliant Quantum leap homage The Bad: Poor zombies Dishonest cover Things I Learnt From This Movie: I can't figure out whether Alien vs Zombies or Zombies vs Joe Alien is a worse title!

But in a good goofy way. Let me start by saying the acting is not good, but my husband and I actually enjoyed this movie. An Alien that loves Earth finally gets his chance to come here for his version of Spring Break and finds out that he's right in the middle of the Zombie Apocalypse (bummer) The lead actor plays this fish out of water role quite well in spite of the dialogue and actually seems to be having fun with role. But all in all, it was good time. We chuckled a bit through it and when it ended, my husband and I both had come to the same conclusion. "It's cute"

Just like peanut butter and chocolate, how can one go wrong combing aliens and zombies...oops my bad one alien named Joe (Alex Knapp). Our alien arrives in New Jersey (10-31-2014) in a Mark Wahlberg space pod during the zombie apocalypse. He meets Parker (Siena Tickle) and others and needs to go back in time to save the planet.Joe, the alien, traveled "light years" from Sedna, the farthest planet in our solar system. The acting was was horrible all around. The dialogue which was meant to be funny, making pop culture references that fell flat and was amateurish. They couldn't even maintain that aspect.Guide: F-word. Near sex. No nudity. 3 stars
