Movie Reviews

Blu-ray.com - 7/10 by Brian OrndorfThere's no creative leap to enjoy and little filmmaking finesse to study. Instead, it's more of the same, and in the five years "Area 51" has been sitting on the shelf, every studio and aspiring horror moviemaker has beaten Peli at his own game.
Bloody Disgusting - 6/10 by Brad MiskaFrankly maybe they should have kept the tapes a secret for the rest of eternity. The idea of Area 51 seems to be what's truly frightening about it, not what's actually going on inside.
The A.V. Club - 5/10 by A.A. DowdThough Peli stages a few fun and creepy effects shots, nothing that happens here couldn’t be surmised from simply reading the film’s title.
RogerEbert.com - 4/10 by Brian TallericoTo be fair, the slow burn does eventually catch fire and there’s lots of screaming and heavy breathing and dark tunnels and running and what-not. The relatively tense final half-hour is clearly the reason that very smart producer Jason Blum thought this would be a solid follow-up to “Paranormal Activity.” It’s that first hour that is the reason it took six years to (barely) get released.
We Got This Covered - 3/10 by Matt DonatoArea 51 is everything that's wrong with not only found footage films, but also weak-minded sci-fi thrillers that think crazed talking heads and fuzzy shadows are scary enough.
The Hollywood Reporter - 2/10 by Frank ScheckTedious, visually unsatisfying, poorly acted and narratively disjointed, Area 51 is a textbook example of directorial sophomore slump.
User Review - 10/10 by Fernando Mthe best $!!!!! $$$$$÷#^7%? ....m............. .
User Review - 10/10 by William NI'm giving this 5 to balance out some of the negative scores, watched this on Netflix where it had 1 star (so I went into it expecting nothing) I was presently surprised spoilers below (but only a little) 1) Yeah area 51 was not as guarded as it could of been but they literally had to build stealth suits get near it and they have I'd cards, secret maps from an ex employee and finger prints for scanners so what more do you want from a Sci fi film? - if we're gonna point out flaws in Sci fi films well be here till the end of time 2) Yeah it takes a while to build up, but that's building the suspension and also explaining how they even think they might get in - it's nice not to see a film run in guns blazing and the build up i found very enjoyable 3) ending - it ends like so many films and tv shows do with out an explanation - but I thought that was executed well as it leaves a lot open and don't need one, uch better ending that Blair witch or the sopranos 4) 2nd watch, when watching with out expectations you would probably focus more on the plot and other weird bits like the floating rock and alien ship (they were very very cool) 5) possible sequel, ending easy made a 2nd film possible 6) better than all the fast and furious films, the hills have eyes 2 and jeepers creepers - screw the hype, go in with no expectations and you'll have an enjoyable ride all the best bill
User Review - 8/10 by Alex GFor UFO conspiracy theorist this movie will prove to be an exciting ride! Obviously flawed, but hey, it's Hollywood (sort of).
User Review - 8/10 by Trey AHonestly feel like I'm the only person that legitimately enjoyed and loved this movie. Thought it was great, unbelievable at times, and excluding the crappy abrupt ending.
