Firstly, we rented this movie to see what kind of an actor legally troubled millionaire Richard Hatch, season #1's SURVIVOR winner back in 2000, is when he's reading lines on a sound stage (as opposed to grunting utterances scripted for "impromptu" jungle delivery). Well, it turns out the DVD box designers gave some money (not very much, obviously) to director Robert Dyke and a few other people so an old geezer born during WWII and appearing in soap operas since 1971 (!) could be headlined as THE Richard Hatch of whom everyone has heard at the top of the flick case. This other Richard Hatch is an even WORSE actor than the notable one, making a movie centering around him a colossal bore from the git-go.To add insult to injury, this decrepit Hatch (think Grandpa Clampett, or the hatch on LOST after the explosion) has a baby! Apparently in movies people can do ANYTHING, so normally one might greet this development with a simple "You go, guy!" But this kid has about half a dozen tentacles, and was "born" with Jason Voorheis' hockey mask glued to his face! The producers are implying, if a guy has a baby, it just naturally MUST be a monster. Talk about sexist! That would be like Hollywood implying if a woman is U.S. president, she just naturally MUST be a total screw-up (oops--I guess that was the whole point of the last couple seasons of Cherry Jones "work" on Fox TV network's Jack Bauer soap opera, 24). Hopefully, all those feminists out there will protest INALIENABLE's portrayal of male maternity just as shrilly as any of the other things squawked about.

Changes saved. Share this photo with friends, even if they're not on Facebook..Although the casting suggests this movie was tailor-made for distribution at Sci-Fi conventions, INALIENABLE (2007) is a unique B-movie that marries genre conventions with courtroom drama. Star Trek alumnus Walter Koenig reunited with his Moontrap (1989) director Robert Dyke and roped in a bunch of fellow convention guests (from not only the Star Trek franchise but also shows such as V and Alien Nation) to bring his screenplay to life. Premiering online before eventually hitting DVD, the movie was made for approximately $1.5 million and the limitations of the production are evident in the handful of sparse sets and limited visual effects. At the heart of the movie, which is about a male scientists who is infected by an alien parasite and gives birth to a new lifeform, is mainly notable for a great, emotional performance from one-time Battlestar Galactica actor Richard Hatch. With an emphasis on drama rather than spectacle, this is a curious genre-hybrid with a surprisingly downbeat and sudden ending.

Firstly, I enjoyed this and I'm very fussy about what I watch but this film held my attention throughout and was well acted. Yes, the special effects could have been better and yes the ending could perhaps have been a little clearer for clots like me but overall it was entertaining and quite interesting because of the various legal and moral issues it raised.Put it this way, before I chose to watch this I browsed through scores and scores of movies and could not find one that interested me. Most of the movies made, especially modern ones, are garbage. I wonder why they bother and wonder even more why people even watch them. But this movie, humble as it is, was better than most. It's worth a watch.

Independent films are becoming more popular in this country. I, for one, really love to see independent films. The latest film I've seen in Walter Konig's InAlienable staring Richard Hatch. The movie was very interesting as far as Sci-fi is concerned, but what really sold this film was the outstanding performance by Richard "Captain Apollo" Hatch. He was stupendous! Some of the best work I've seen him do in a long time. The film cost $3 dollars to download and watch. It was well worth the money. Although the film seemed to be a bit choppy, the audience can follow the action and story line. I would have liked to see a bit smoother film. I was disappointed with the ending. It was a twist, but absolutely not what I expected!!! The movie was only partly resolved when it ended. I do recommend this independent film to others and guarantee that they'll enjoy Mr. Hatch's performance!
