U.F.O is a real mess of a movie... a mixture of genres that go together about as well as oil and water. On the bright side though, it's a MUCH better film than the opening moments would suggest. During them, we see a bunch of idiots drinking at one of those awful rave parties, where they move like zombies and exchange the most pathetic chat-up lines ever. Then, we have two simultaneous sexual encounters... interspersed with footage of someone vomiting into a toilet. Nice. Fortunately, the next morning, the power goes out, mysterious ships start appearing in the sky... and things get a LITTLE more interesting...Everything here feels perfunctory... there are a few moments where we see people panic-buying, and turning on each other... but nowhere near enough, considering the situation. Instead, we get a few mildly diverting space battles, some oddly placed martial-art fights (Well, Jean-Claude Van Damme DOES appear for all of 10 minutes, they had to give him SOMETHING to do), lots of bickering and plenty of unnecessary supporting characters. Injured little girl, and the 'comedy' duo of soldiers, I'm looking at YOU.It really is hard to make sense of anything that's going on. WHY are the aliens identifiable by a tattoo? WHAT is that damn preacher banging on about? WHEN the evil extraterrestrial girl has a chance to kill all the goodies, why doesn't she take it? Other not-so important stuff apparently includes where the UFOs came from, what their goal might be, what they look like when they're not disguised as people... etc. And as for the clusterf*** (Yep, I went there) of a conclusion... Answers on a postcard pls to tell me what the heck was happening. Be careful, though you may lose your mind trying to figure it out. Still, at least it's better than the Roy Chubby Brown flick of the same name. Now THAT'S a quote to put on the posters... 4/10

I've watched a lot of movies and some not so good ones, but this one...WOW!!! Everything about this movie sucks from the script to the acting to the effects. This movie can't even be called a 'B' movie but a 'T' movie.... Trash! Jean Claude Van Damme must have been given pity pay to attract viewersI have to have 10 lines of text to describe this movie,,,don't think it warrants that much... it's crapLike others have said if you value your time or just want to watch it to see how not to act or make a horrible movie then watch this one!Some of the actors were making a real attempt I suppose but it isn't enough to make the grade.

The making and showing of movies like "Alien Uprising" should be prohibited by law !! This was just terrible. "Alien Uprising" will go down in history as one of the most annoying and meaningless movies ever. And don't forget to mention the third-rate performances here. What's Jean-Claude van Damme doing in such an awful C-movie with probably no budget. I sincerely hope that they have returned the entrance fee of those who did the effort to go and watch it in the theater ! It really looked like a project of a student at the film school. I bet he failed his test with this anyway.The SF part is greatly limited and the used effects look like a Star Trek episodes from the 70's. The first half hour we look at the social life of some young people in a club and in the bedrooms where they are nagging and whining endlessly about nothing. Next there is a general power failure across the UK and the next evening there is a peculiar light shining and a reverse boiler appears floating in the sky.The rest of the movie is so badly acted and exaggerated. At a certain point there's a supposedly mass hysteria at a supermarket. The new release of the Playstation was a million times worse than this. JCVD explodes after being hit by a green beam ... very original. And Area 51 is also brought up. We can also admire some corny-looking UFO 's with tentacles flying around.The only positive thing I could come up with was the fight between Brosnan and an infiltrated alien.Good advice: do not bother to watch this. It's a complete waste of time and energy.More reviews at http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/

The premise for the movie is great, coupled with a solid performance from Jean Claude van Damme. I would have liked to see more of him but we can't all get everything we want. Though the blow is reduced by having Bianca Bree on screen who is not only talented in the martial arts department but is also stunning.This film shows that British cinema is on the up and up, so things are heading to a great level.The film takes a short while to kick in but is worth the wait to see the great visual effects and developing storyline. It was refreshing to see a film tell its story from a non conventional perspective and I felt true jeopardy for every character which is rare in this type of film.I used to give a movie 15 minutes before I moved on but I'm glad I changed my policy before I saw this. A solid 8/10 in my eyes, considering its apparent budget. Much Much better than After Earth so that's a point in the win column.
