Leave your thoughts about Alien Outpost.
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinEven though the performances are sound and some of the metaphors hold, we're not engrossed enough by them to ignore the tangled story logic all around. |
| Daily DeadHeather WixsonAlien Outpost may not necessarily be the most inventive film you'll ever see but it's a well-made indie film that feels much bigger than its budget and manages to also put a clever twist on the alien invaders that you don't see very often these days. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThere are enough pyrotechnics and human/alien fight scenes to mostly hold your attention, although the film never delivers a whole lot more than that. |
| NerdistScott WeinbergIt's a found footage war movie about soldiers vs. aliens. Basic stuff, but it's not boring. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe writing is so poor and the visual embellishments so few that some of the violence, like the frequent attacks on the base by local villagers, make little sense. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThe promise of the multi-screen future-history info-dump that kicks off Alien Outpost isn't enough to mask this military sci-fi indie's repetitive familiarity. |
| TheFrightFile.comDustin PutmanKudos to "Alien Outpost" for attempting a lot with limited resources. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezThe film splits its time evenly between half-heartedly pretending it's an allegory for our current war on terror and pretending that it's not. |
| The DissolveAndrew LapinOnce the Heavies arrive back on the scene, Raisani uses their presence—and the way the military dispatches them—to dodge complexity in favor of shooting stuff for freedom’s last stand. It’s Starship Troopers without the irony. But it looks nice. |
| New York PostKyle SmithA sci-fi actioner with the production values of your average porno, Alien Outpost spews clichés like a machine gun set on maximum triteness. |
