The idea - a documentary footage movie about the last anti-alien invasion outpost on Earth is great. However, the low budget execution makes the movie not worth watching. The movie in fact is showing us a USA military outpost in Afganistan - the setting is the same, landscape is the same, 95% of the time the enemies are human veiled Muslims. I am not kidding. If you watch this movie for its 98% of length not knowing anything about the Alien part of the title...well even if you know the title and they keep talking about the aliens you will still be convinced they talk about the Muslims. The meager few minutes showing us actual aliens and their base are not enough to redeem it, even if the effects are convincing. The low budget fails the movie even as an Afgan war movie - too many one on one interviews with soldiers to make it look more documentary-type and realistic. Too many shots of soldiers yelling and screaming and shooting at something we do not see - where is the action in that? When we see it, the enemy are actually other humans (Muslims) shooting ordinary weapons. Acting is good for what it is. I would really like to see this movie redone with a proper budget, better editing and more actual aliens in it.
