Alien: Rubicon

 Every now and then you just need to watch one of those low-budget, bad acting B-movies, and that is when The Asylum never fails to deliver.

 

Also, this has nothing even vaguely to do with the Alien franchise. 

 

Starting things off, the alien on the poster... not in the movie.  The aliens are nothing more then big flyung spheres that ravage the city. When dr Morrow plans on taking the days of with his kids, he is summoned by the government.  A huge sphere is approaching Earth from the same direction he picked up a signal years ago.

 

But when he and military man Captain Jeffe try to use a laser to tag it, it unleashes a destructive blast, setting course for Washington DC.  The military tries all in it's might to bring the sphere down, but it's offensive and defensive capabilities are to much for the army to handle.  

 

 

Of course, as with low budgets flicks, the solution is often pretty dumb.  Turns out we had a secret weapon in space all along, and the higher up that knew kept his mouth shut while entire cities are ravaged by what in the end only turned out to be a probe, more vessels on their way to our planet...

 

No, this isn't a good movie, but you don't expect more of it after all.  The Asylum are a special case in their productions, in a manner that it is so bad it is good, and yeah well, it's good to watch during the night hours while putting together some figures or hugging the bench on a lazy evening.

 

Watch, but don't have high expectations...
