Alien Warfare (2019)
3/10
I've watched this from start to finish so you won't have to.

Because I managed to last till the end, I've awarded Alien Warfare an above average 3. But I wouldn't necessarily recommend that you do the same. This maybe the lowest budget Sci-fi movie you will ever see and a few parts are quite funny.

So, at the start the crack team of navy seals are reassembled by the mysterious men in suits for a special mission. Brothers Mike and Chris have personal issues, maybe from their last bungled mission or maybe related to missing all their acting classes. You really don't want to go there! But perhaps, join the "action" at 23 minutes, after the team have flown to "The Caucasus" and are just breaking through the high security fence into the facility where all the staff have mysteriously vanished...

"Gentlemen, we're going in the front. I've got eyes on what looks like some kind of lobby!"

Remarkably, one of the staff hasn't vanished after all, but, perhaps out of a surfeit of caution, is wearing a forensic suit to get milk from the fridge. After a little banter, she loses the suit and guides our intrepid heroes to the the "High Security Containment Vault". Note the high security containment door, equipped with a "working card-reader with fully functioning red and green LEDs" (perhaps made from a kit from Practical Electronics). Inside the "vault" is "the device" which they look at quite a lot. Despite the potential threat to the entire world from "the device", no one seems to be so good at remembering to shut the high security containment door.

In another couple of minutes, the Aliens appear - ready for Warfare. They are fairly easy to identify as they're wearing their paintball suits and they have a habit of standing still in a threatening way. Conveniently - from a special effects point of view - they're "bi-pedal". In fact, they're also bi-armal and mono-headal.

You'll notice, almost immediately, that bullets have no effect on them - because they're alien. However, our crack team of intrepid heroes don't seem to notice this for the next twenty minutes or so of the movie.

The fast forward button will be tempting now, but you should probably slow the action briefly for the "Faraday Suit". To say this suit is "experimental" is putting it mildly. After seeing the suit it will be a good time to get (more) beers, or skip forward to the last five minutes - or not.
