lewiskendell This is another weird, wacky Japanese genre effort in the same vein as Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl and Robo-Geisha. The title says it all: a group of ancient Japanese ninja end up going claw to sword (and eventually sword to sword) with some monstrous aliens (that look suspiciously like people in moderately expensive Halloween costumes). There's really no more story beyond that and a hinted at love triangle between two of the male shinobi and their female counterpart. Nothing about the "aliens" is explained, they just show up and start swiping people's heads off and fiercely trying to grab boobs. Alien vs Ninja isn't as gross or ultra-violent as many similar movies can be, but it does have its moments. People get ripped in half and have little mind-controlling aliens crawl up their noses, and plenty of pink pepto bismol alien blood flows all over the place. AvN won't win any awards for storytelling or production values, but it's a goofy and occasionally fun way to waste some time. There are better similar movies, but genre fans should find it worthwhile.

grandmastersik Plot? See title.Low budget? Yep. Filmed on digi-cam? Yes. Terrible CGI? You bet. Men in rubber suits straight out of Power Rangers? Oh man, you've seriously got to see it to believe how cool it is!Word to the wise: if you can't appreciate flicks like The Story of Ricky, you may not like this. It's an action-comedy, the effects add to the fun, there are plenty of cool bits and if you like kung fu this should leave you pumped-up.Watch this film!(An extra line to make the 10 minimum, please ignore)

shug21 since i got the movie i thought, going by the title it would be a basic fight and kill the monster movie and i was right, although it was completely outrageous, however the fight scenes (using words loosely) were entertaining.the movie itself was low budget but was made to look like a high budget movie which kinda saved it, if i have to be picky ,one character over acted to the point of wishing he would die soon, now the "Alien" looked like rubber but it was funny and as for the gore in the movie, soft for a movie for its type.this film is not a waste of time, i wouldn't buy it but i did rent it and i am glad i did, if u decide to buy/rent it watch it with friends but make sure u have a few cold ones. ;)

dbborroughs I saw this at the world premiere at the New York Asian Film Festival and it was a great deal of fun. Its a film where the title tells the whole story and if you're good with that you'll have a great time.The plot of the film has a fireball fall to earth "several hundred years ago"(nudge nudge). In it are some aliens which go about tearing up the villages. Into the mix are a bunch of ninja who stumble upon the creatures and decide to take them on. Thats it.This is a very knowing, very bloody, very fun film that doesn't try to do anything other than entertain. Most of the effects are very good, though the monsters are very much men in suits, which is fine. I mean they aren't reinventing the wheel just trying to have a good time.High art its not. High fun it is.Crack open a cool one, get some popcorn and some friends and enjoy.
