Featured Comments/Tips
This is the movie that started the Alien Nation franchise, with a TV series, and another 5 movies. It'#39;s a cop, action, thriller movie - with aliens. Alien Nation isn'#39;t as well known as many similar sci-fi series of the era - and this is the start of it all. Although this uses different actors than the subsequent series and movies, but it does have all the distinguishing traits for the follow-ons. Characters with depth, humanising of aliens, the examination of racism and bigotry in a way that is surprising for entertainment from this time. And as such, for any sci-fi fan it should be on their watch list.
Nice take on racism and being different through the eyes of a cop-movie with aliens.
It's like an exec took a sci-fi script about racism and pitched it as, “Lethal Weapon, but the black guy’s an alien.”, aspects really feel that cynical and sloppy
Level '#34;Unremarkable'#34; • 5 :heart: • Entertaining but bad.
Humans and aliens coexist on our planet.
