Alien Nation

Alright~! Finally my first real "Review". As you might have guessed by the title it's the old school "aliens crash landed on earth" movie "Alien Nation" from 1988, wow! Being one of those people who thought "District 9" was genious, this movie was in the back of my head when one day I saw it on "Watch Instantly". I was like "Hell, yes!" and definitely wasn't disappointed. If you're a fan of simple entertaining films you definitely won't be disappointed here.

It's pretty amazing what a great buddy cop movie this is. I mean, it's pretty by the numbers but still, sometimes that's what you want, you know? And the fact that it even has a sci-fi twist on top of that and this movie was made back in the 80's? Dude, I guess I'm dating myself here but it's pretty awesome. :D If you haven't seen this movie in a while, and I probably haven't seen it in like ten years or whatever, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how "contemporary" it looks and feels. No crazy effect or huge budgets to ruin the show here. It's all about the story and the world which is so simply yet effectively portrayed. I couldn't help but be impressed by it.

And for you young'ens who thought "District 9" was the cat's schnitzle or whatever the kids are calling it these days, know your roots. Watch this movie!

And it's so easy to watch it instantly you'll barely have the time to pop a pack of popcorn in the microwave! You probably won't want to leave the couch to pick up the popcorn after it's done popping because you'll be so in to the movie~. A definite thumbs up!
