I will say that I was expecting little from Alien Lockdown(or PredatorMan), but I was expecting something watchable with perhaps a guilty pleasure vibe. Instead I got a film that wasn't just worse than I anticipated but also a terrible movie. Is it the worst movie I've seen? No. But it is one of the worst movies I've seen in recent memory. Alien Lockdown is a badly made movie with editing so rapid that it makes some scenes close to incomprehensible, uninteresting scenery and artificial-looking effects. The script is ridiculous in a laughable sense, the "this is a morality tale" conversation between Talon and Woodman is especially true of this. The music is poor, overbearing and with a sluggish, harsh quality to it, while the story revolving around a concept that has been done to death is dull and predictable with only the atmospheric(in comparison) climax) livening things up. The characters are badly written clichés, just how many times do we need the mad scientist type of character. The acting fares little better, James Marshall and John Savage deserve much better than they had, Savage is not too bad actually but he is riddled with some of the film's worst dialogue, while Michelle Goh is completely unbelievable as the Lucy Liu/Ellen Ripley-esquire heroine. Overall, a groan-inducingly-terrible film. 1/10 Bethany Cox
