Alien Lockdown (2004)

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Secret government/corporation/rich private entrepreneurs acquires technology to develop dangerous creature in virtually inaccessible, dimly lit, claustrophobic lab facility. Creature escapes, killing development team and most of rescue/cleanup unit sent to erase evidence except for one or two survivors who vow to bring down the system and those responsible for creating the threat.This formula, perfected in better films like "Alien" and "Aliens," has been done to death, particularly by the the "original (not!) films" produced for the SciFi channel. Only the creatures change along with minor variations on the script/"plot" for the rest of the cast to perform in locales ranging from oil platforms to remote underground labs to ships/stations in space.This particular feature looks and acts more like an ad for a video game than an original film. It is not worth even a rental and is only barely more entertaining than an infomercial.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*My friend and I watched this one the other day. After it was over, we both agreed that "Alien Lockdown" is what a B-movie should be like. This was about as good as we could have hoped for. "Alien Lockdown" promises you an alien and a lockdown. It delivers both with a smile.So an alien runs amok inside a government lab and kills lots of people. They send a hot Asian chick and her hit squad to take it out. The lab is under Lockdown. An "Alien Lockdown". That's it for plot as the rest of the movie has lots of soldiers running around a big building with flashlights beaming and guns blazing.I have seen this movie before. I have seen this movie many, many times before. All of the B-movie clichés for monster flicks are on proud display: Soldiers, flashlights, big empty building, monster crawling around in the dark, etc. "Alien Lockdown" is not trying to be different or original. It's happy to just take B-movie fans through the monster killing motions. I was satisfied with this one. It hit all the necessary buttons for me. There was a hopping mad alien, he ate a lot of soldiers and a good time was had by all.

Rented this one last night after having only seen the cover of the DVD. I thought, what the hell, might even like it. First off, the lead has some sort of Lucy Liu meets Ellen Ripley vibe going on...weird! And the supporting cast, well lets say they've got as much talent as an extra on a bad Star Trek episode (the one who gets killed right away). Except for John Savage and James Marschall,who have obviously have sunk to an all time low. But hey, what about the effects? Things look like a TV show so don't expect anything flashy. If they show this movie on late night TV, I might even consider it as above average. And that's because of the atmosphere which is actually pretty good, but turn off the sounds because the music just made me wanna kill myself...Note to soundguy: A sci-fi movie is not a Simpsons episode! So if your a sci-fi/light horror fan and you want to see something totally unoriginal, check this one out! I've rented it together with Starship Troopers 2...hope that it's better than this one, or maybe I should stop renting crap...hmmmm?

One of the crappiest movies I have seen recently, Jesus.Creature aka Alien Lockdown.Well don't say I didn't warn you when one day encounter this movie and decide you gonna rent, buy and see it!!! Just do yourself a favour and don't do it. The movie is utterly boring has a total lack on originality and suffers a poor storyline bad acting, and utterly uninteresting sceneries. They even put a Lucy Liu kinda woman in this movie, and she is trying to be like her so much that the more she tries the more she fails. The monster is a crossing between Alien and predator. Totally lack on everything in this movie. Nothing I did enjoy and just started to hit the skip forward button to save myself on the last 30 min of watching this piece of garbage that turns seeing movies like this into torture. Avoid like the plague. A big 0 outa 10 for me !!!
