Although the pacing was fairly decent, the 90 min runtime felt longer with the constant "pew-pew" and "kabooms" all the while looking for a real story.

Visual Effects turned writer, director, and producer Jabbar Raisani makes his full length feature film debut with Alien Outpost. The S/VFX - his specialty, were great. His directing was ok for the most part, outside of the annoying shaky-cam hand-held shots. The conceptual story itself and the docu-style presentation were a great idea, but the screenplay was poorly executed. It needed more story, or should've been a short film. It felt like its great production value was wasted on lots of a ammo. Casting was great with solid and convincing performances.

Nevertheless, and enjoyable popcorn-Sunday "war-action film" with a side of sci-fi. It's a well deserved 7/10 from me, and certainly undeserving of it's low rating.

I have to admit, I was expecting worse. I actually thought this would be playing at one location ("preferably" underground). And it wouldn't be a bad thing. Budget wise it sometimes is the best decision not to go "out there". But this movie does! You have quite a couple of locations (even if they are "deserted"/open land).

The effects also are on a level that is decent. Especially considering that is must not have had a big budget. Acting is OK, you have to get your head around the "Found footage/faux documentary" style of the movie though. Some scenes do acknowledge the fact of a camera man being there, other don't (or make no sense whatsoever, especially towards the end). If you can dig that, you'll be fine with the movie

Not too futurist, aliens known as "Heavies" invade Earth in 2021. Footage is found of a final battle for human supremacy as an elite documentary crew follows soldiers as they battle for a critical remote outpost with the very lethal alien race that has managed to hold their ground for almost a decade.

Weapons and tactics are not so inconceivable that the remaining humans are not at a too large disadvantage. The aliens in this flick are not CGI, but built for entertainment purposes. Not mainstream high budget, but just decent enough you can sit back and enjoy. Grenades, guns, drones and F "bombs" are much needed for the humans to hold on to the outpost that seems like God turned his back on. Thrive and survive; a united mankind must defend our planet.

The cast includes: Reiley McClendon, Joe Reegan, Matthew Holmes, Scott E. Miller, Rick Ravanello and Brandon Auret.
