pendenquejohn I put this movie in my watch least about a year ago expecting something of taste and frankly it was a quite a deception. I could not sit watching this movie without doing something else on aside. The action takes million of years to take place and not really much does happen unless around the middle-end of the film. The acting is what it is but when you can't really see the action it's hard to actually evaluate the actors.This movie is really actually hard to judge considering the angle with which they decided to shoot it. It's really hard to see and understand the action most of the time. Quite terrible to be honest. As for the end, it's actually quite anti-climatic but at the same time you could not expect much from a film where more than half of it is about literally nothing.I'm really deceived to say the least.

vixtravels2 This is a surprisingly effective sci-fi. And certainly has something that other "found footage" movies do not have. All my life I have been a major horror genre fan, who happens to like sci-fi too, but obviously there are differences in said genre. To be honest I sat back and prepared myself for a "very" standard movie ride, and as for reading the terrible reviews I had almost convinced myself it would be awful. Its NOT! Area 51 is certainly more stylish and well thought out, but it is certainly not a horror film. The flow of the movie is smooth in what I call a nice to bad situation. For instance I call "single white female" and "fatal attraction", to be "nice to bad" films. You can feel the passion for the base, from the characters, who are likable, and come across as just a bunch of young friends on an adventure. There are no jump scares that might induce a heart attack, and the dialogue is clear and not drowned out by music or effects. You feel as if your on this adventure with them. If your a fan of sci-fi or conspiracies about area 51, I am sure you will be impressed by this solid effort. So turn off the lights, grab some popcorn and a beer, sit back and enjoy. This movie is unpretentious, and refreshingly does not take itself too seriously. However, if your looking for a horror gore fest, please look elsewhere...This is NOT a horror movie!

mmbrahler The quick summary of this movie made it sound like a good late night horror but i was HORRIBLY MISTAKEN.The movie started out bad with the god awful graphics from the camera quality of a Razor flip phone. I would not recommend this movie to my worst enemy because it was the biggest waste of my life. The aliens sounded of a generic bear noise that you would put into a stuffed animal at Build-a-Bear workshop. The best part about the movie was when the final credits came and the fake screams could end. The end of the movie for me was spent rewinding and making fun of the poor quality of videography that was occurring in front of my eyes. If it was possible to rate this movie as a negative 5, I would. If you even debate watching this film, please do not harm your brain cells by putting them through it. The one star was given for the good laughs that it brought me. Also, Ben was hot.

The Couchpotatoes So much haters on this website. You wonder why? Because honestly if you like alien stories and suspense then you definitely going to like this movie. Well at least I did. And I am not even a big fan of camcorder movies. In fact I don't really like that way of filming. I am sure it would have been even better if they would have filmed it normally. Nevertheless the whole movie is full of suspense. From the part where they prepare themselves to the part where they decide to execute their plan to enter Area 51 it's all suspense. The actors might not be well known but at least they put down a believable performance. I really don't get why so many people don't like this movie. You know it's going to be about aliens just by the title of the movie. If you don't like that then just don't watch it, but please stop wasting our time with negative comments.
