Perhaps I'm biased because I work in the film industry, but it makes me mad when crappy reviews come out about films with concepts and ambitions that obviously outweigh their budgets. Everyone wants more money to make their films, but the question regarding talent is what do people with the resources afforded to them.
This film gets under the skin, parallelling contemporary American foreign policy whilst giving a balls-out ride into a post-victorious alien invasion scenario.
This is what I like about ALIEN OUTPOST. It's smart. It delivers a sic fi action film on a fraction of the budget of a Hollywood Studio flick, but because of its low budget it can afford to take time to build the characters and take risks that the Studios wouldn't allow.
