Alien Outpost

Although the pacing was fairly decent, the 90 min runtime felt longer with the constant "pew-pew" and "kabooms" all the while looking for a real story.

Visual Effects turned writer, director, and producer Jabbar Raisani makes his full length feature film debut with Alien Outpost. The S/VFX - his specialty, were great. His directing was ok for the most part, outside of the annoying shaky-cam hand-held shots. The conceptual story itself and the docu-style presentation were a great idea, but the screenplay was poorly executed. It needed more story, or should've been a short film. It felt like its great production value was wasted on lots of a ammo. Casting was great with solid and convincing performances.

Nevertheless, and enjoyable popcorn-Sunday "war-action film" with a side of sci-fi. It's a well deserved 7/10 from me, and certainly undeserving of it's low rating.
