Extraterrestrial Reviews
It's all very unintentionally funny.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jul 18, 2022
I've seen a million disposable movies like Extraterrestrial at this point in my life
| Jul 6, 2021
A generic thrust of recycled, disambiguated alien abduction narratives that's not only hopelessly shallow but utterly routine.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 12, 2019
In all honesty, there's only so much paranoia and tireless altercation any one person can realistically take.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2018
... you can pretty much figure out what will happen mere minutes into the film. Where's the suspense in that?
| Original Score: F | Sep 2, 2017
The filmmakers want to mix comedy and thrills, but they never really hit the mark with either.
| Original Score: C- | Jun 6, 2016
self-consciously trashy, trope-happy inanity that is relentlessly entertaining and rather forgettable - as though the viewer too has been subjected to an alien mind-wipe.

We root for the aliens by default.

The Vicious Brothers have some fun with what's essentially a slasher movie featuring homicidal aliens.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2014
There's nothing at all original, engaging, stimulating or thought-provoking (for all of these, see Invasion of the Body Snatchers) within its frames.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 4, 2014
If the whole premise of Extraterrestrial sounds familiar, that's because there's hardly an original idea in the whole film.
| Original Score: 4.5/10 | Nov 22, 2014
Derivative and cynical, the feature squeezes out a few effective moments, but the rest is poorly managed and rarely terrifying.
| Original Score: C | Nov 21, 2014
Everything about it is meant to either raise or lower your expectations.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 21, 2014
"Extraterrestrial" never settles into a groove, and therefore never becomes more than a collection of effectively icky scenes.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 21, 2014
"Extraterrestrial" takes the well-worn concepts of space-creature marauders and doomed party-hearty cabin weekenders and opts to fling the litany of horror and sci-fi clichs at you in the manner of monkeys well armed with dung.
| Nov 20, 2014
"Extraterrestrial" feels like a wish-fulfillment project; perhaps less self-indulgence was in order.
| Nov 20, 2014
If aliens travel thousands of light-years to terrorize you, the least you can do is put them in an exciting movie.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 20, 2014
It's in the final act that the pic becomes more ambitious and interesting, though not quite enough to lift the whole from decent-time-filler status to something more inspired.
| Nov 20, 2014
A good, old-fashioned alien-encounter picture.
| Nov 20, 2014
A movie of pure, undigested clichs, set to a generic pattern of jump scares and fake-outs.
| Original Score: C- | Nov 20, 2014
