Alien Adventure is a film that consists entirely of 3D effects. There isn't any plot. The entire basis of this film is to show special effects in 3D. I saw this DVD on a regular television screen losing the 3D effects. The special effects were still nice but since I couldn't see it in 3D and that was the main purpose of the movie, there was no real point of watching it. I don't understand why they didn't combine some plot, some point to the movie, with the 3D viewing. If you can't see this in 3D, don't bother to watch it. It's a waste of time. If you are able to see it in 3D, expect to see 3D and some great special effects but nothing more.

In the finest tradition of sci-fi 3-D movies, the plot is terrible.The 3-D effects, however, are really very good. I just bought a 3-D viewing system on line and was impressed at how well the home system worked. Of course, one loses the sheer mass of the IMAX screen, but it is pretty cool to see quality 3-D popping out of your home screen (and we just have a standard 19" color TV).The aliens look great and the roller coaster rides are entertaining, though it would have been nice for the aliens to encounter something else at the amusement park (like a 3-D shooting gallery, for example).

Without a doubt, this is the worst IMAX flick ever. It's basically a nonstop-rollercoaster-ride (literally not metaphorically, though), which will either make you throw up from motion-sickness (just like one of those stupid aliens featured in this mess) or bore you to death. The sorry excuse for a plot (badly designed Aliens mistaking an amusement park consisting of badly designed rollercoaster rides for the "Earth way of life" or something to that extent) can be called unfunny at best. The animation isn't all that impressive and gets tiresome after five minutes. A must-avoid!

Alien Adventure: A band of aliens that travels the galaxy looking for planets to conquer discovers a small blue green planet that they think will be perfect for their newest base. However, when their scouting party lands in a soon to be opened virtual theme park the begin to have second thoughts.Besides having the biggest screens of any theatres the IMAX format also allows for excellent 3-D effects. While there have been several attempts to exploit this format most of them have consisted of paper thin plots that serve to connect the special effects sequences and showcase what is possible (Encounters in the Third Dimension however did manage to combine both aspects successfully). This feature is no different.Adventure 3-D sequences are very well done - you feel like you are actually on a roller coaster, (they were so well done that I almost got as sick as one of the characters in the movie). Unfortunately, that's all there is- each sequence is a slightly retooled version of its predecessor.Once you take into account the length of the film and the cost, you're better off going to Six Flags (or any other big amusement park) for the real thing - it will cost less and be more exciting.
