The Aliens (2016)
1/10
Terrible

Warning: Spoilers
If you have even an ounce of intelligence, don't bother with this one, if you love watching mindless dribble, have fun with it.

The dialogue is terrible, now I know that writing a good dialogue is very difficult but almost the entirety of the first episode is cheesy, spoon-feeding rubbish, I felt embarrassed for the writer as I watched it.

The acting isn't the worst I have seen, but with such a bad script, I would doubt if even the best Hollywood actors out there could do much better.

The story is clearly a direct rip-off from District 9, which in itself is forgivable, as some of the best stories out there have been inspired by others preceding it, but the whole 'falling in love with an alien and finding out your one of them' thing is so clique'd I wanted to be sick.

To me, the whole thing feels like a car crash, an attempt by a young (or inexperienced) writer to copy an already successful film, and going way over his head with it. Maybe he should write a few episodes of Hollyoaks before attempting something new.

An hour of my life I won't be getting back
