Storyline

51 chronicles what happens after political pressure from the American public forces the Air Force to provide a few well-known reporters with limited access to the most secretive base on the planet: Area 51. When one of the base's hidden 'long term visitors' exploits this unprecedented visit as a chance to liberate himself and his fellow alien captives, Area 51 turns from a secure government base to a horrifying destination of terror.

Better Than I Expected
21 July 2011 | by (Ireland) – See all my reviews

When I watched this I believed I was in for another terrible B rated movie, but I must admit, out of all the B rated movies I have seen, this is by far the best one. The actors were not amazing, but better than usual in my opinion. The special effects were also better than many other B rated movies I have seen, although they were still terrible in comparison to bigger movies of course. The story line was alright and I quite enjoyed it, although I thought the end was a bit weird... Anyway, not the best movie I have seen, but still a pleasant surprise.

I give this movie a 4/10 for making a good effort with their low budget.
