showdown at area 51

No seriously, the original title was “Alien vs. Alien” but SciFi apparently renamed it to “Showdown at Area 51″ which is probably the only possible title that is even more tacky than “Alien vs. Alien”. [1]

The first 15-minutes of Showdown at Area 51 rank amongst the liveliest and most cheesetacular footage the Sci-Fi Channel has ever pulled off in one of their original movies. [3]

The plot is fairly simple – two aliens get sent to earth. [1]

This is, after all, a movie where despite having all these fancy, extraterrestrial, magically protracting weapons at their disposal, whenever these two warring aliens enter into close quarters combat it almost always comes down to the two of them punching and kicking at another as if they’re extras from Roadhouse.

This very movie that I posted about last year just premiered on SciFi Channel yesterday and I hand no clue about it. [1]

That one line about “the real Area 51″ is also the only time the term “Area 51″ is ever used in the film and that opening sequence is the only time a showdown takes place on the base. [3]

I didnt buy this movie, rather i rented it from the local movie gallery, and im glad i didnt purchase it. [5]

Two aliens who crash on Earth must find a buried weapon that will destroy the planet and their own society if not stopped. [2]

With a little more budget this Sci-Fi Channel original movie could have achieved the truly delirious heights of a gloriously campy Golan-Globus production of yore, but instead it’ll just have to settle for being a rousing sci-fi smackdown oozing with gobs of melted cheese. [3]

The hulking Omega Centurion’s attire looks as if a stylist mixed and matched Tuscan Raider and Tie-Fighter pilot fashions to create a whole new look for the hostile alien lifeform on the go. [3]
