Leave your thoughts about Spaced Invaders.
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanSet on Halloween, this intentionally cheesy sci-fi parody doesn’t offer much variety among its human characters, but its animatronic aliens — who look like sourpuss versions of Spielberg’s E.T. — are amusingly obnoxious. |
| Chicago TribuneJohanna SteinmetzSpaced Invaders should have been funnier than it is. It rambles and has too many poorly defined characters. Also, because most of it takes place at night, it's not easy to tell what is going on sometimes, which will confuse the audience for which it is intended. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkSpaced Invaders is a slight, obvious sci-fi parody that would like to be in the same league as Spaceballs, but doesn't even deserve the comparison. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMaybe I've lost touch with silly, brainless entertainments like this. Let's hope so: One of the purposes of growing up and getting an education is to learn why movies like Spaced Invaders are a waste of time. And yet, a small, far-away voice inside of me says there once was a time when I would have liked this movie, when I was young and open to wonderments. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldA tedious, frenetic and sour business in which humans and Martians alike are all pretty stupid, except for the local sheriff’s pretty, peace-loving daughter (Ariana Richards). Even the special effects aren’t anything special. |
| User ReviewGrégory SOne of my favorite movies EVER. Prepare to die earthling best line. Ever. |

| User ReviewJames PThis is a wonderful family classic. Don't let the cynical critics keep you from enjoying some good corny fun! |
| User ReviewRyan CThis film still cracks me up. Sure it's corny and over the top, but it's not supposed to be serious. |
| User ReviewAlex HThis movie was funny, and very likeable to all ages. |
