Jabbar Raissani seemed to do everything in this movie produced , visual effects , directed, he even cleaned out the portaloos and more but the one thing he did'not do was make a good movie.I agree with all the reviewers on the last page this movie was dull , really dull and the acting was wooden and stilted and poor old Adrian Paul must have been brought in for 5 minutes just to give it that headline actor - he actually just played a voice on the radio because he was too embarrassed to actually appear in it!What a joke this movie is. The rating is too high , I cannot believe the 7 pages of good reviews - what were they watching? But each to his own but its not my idea of fun. I would rather watch paint dry than sit through this mess again.Where did the $4 million go? Into Adrian Pauls pocket probably!
... View MoreThis movie is very underrated.I don't know what the big fuss is about. It's refreshing to see a film that doesn't have the typical Hollywood BS and overuse crazy special effects. The actors were amazing, the story line actually made sense, and cinematography was really good for a low budget film. The battles felt realistic and weren't over exaggerated. I agree with other reviews, it does remind me of District 9. However, they should've stuck with the title Outpost 37. Sounds way better. All in all, I would defiantly recommend to give this movie a shot. Plus I really hope they come out with a part 2!
... View MoreThis movie seems to be really underrated. Many people seem to see everything that's not full of expensive special effects as automatically sub par. Which is a real shame when looking at a movie like outpost 37 (aka: Alien Outpost).Although the acting wasn't always consistently top notch, it was good enough over all to keep me invested in the characters and story. The setting of the story was great. For a change humanity isn't the complete underdog from the get go, this perfectly lends itself to a scenario in which the protagonists get slowly and unexpectedly overwhelmed. I can't think of a single actor in this film which didn't deliver this feeling of a degenerating situation well.Like I said earlier the special effects are a bit sparse (I'm sure due to budget constraints) but the way the movie is set up they really worked around this problem. You get just enough to hook you into the science fiction setting.I really would like to see a sequel with a bigger budget to really show of the sci-fi elements and strengthen the setting. A personal preference of mine would be to use a lot of practical effects, although the makers of his movie already use some very good ones from time to time.Al in all I think this movie is definitely worth a watch, I would give it a 7/10 but to counter some of the naysayers (and because I really want a sequel I'll make it an 8/10 instead.
... View MoreFor a low budget and B grade film, this movie was surprisingly decent; the actors did a great job portraying their individual roles. I've heard people saying that the special effects were cheap and outdated and also that the movie itself is not worth the watch, but I disagree; for the budget this film had, they did a stupendous job and the concept of the movie as a whole was both intriguing and well written.I don't want to spoil anything so I'll keep it brief, but a few individuals lose their lives in this movie (won't mention who or how they die), but as a member of the audience I actually felt for their fellow comrades, and that alone is a good thing. Emotional connection during a film is very important. If you like action flicks or science fiction, you'd probably enjoy this movie and I'd recommend it.7/10
