Your basic goofy, low-budget sci-fi flick September 3, 2003
Daniel Jolley (Shelby, North Carolina USA)
The title Alien Force is something of a misnomer. Put aside any visions you might have of an intergalactic showdown between Earth and some hostile planet. Only two aliens come to earth in this story, both of them in search of an egg. This is no ordinary egg, of course. This one happens to contain an entire race of horrible creatures ready and willing to destroy a world, and an alien bad guy named Gorak (or something like that) knocked it out of the hand of its protector on Proxima 18, sending it hurtling through space toward a little insignificant planet named Earth. Proxima 18 itself seems to be a horrid desert planet ruled by, of all people, Burt Ward of Batman and Robin fame. Vince the failed protector of the egg is something of a weak oddball on his home planet, so the Grand Poobah fits him with a warrior's body for his trip to earth. It's a race against time; if Gorak gets his hands on the egg first, he will open it and destroy Earth. What make him especially hard to catch are the facts that he is immortal (his life force can be captured but not truly destroyed by normal means) and can leap from one body to another with ease. Vince has got the whole Van Damme thing going now, but that's about it. Luckily for Vince, he knows martial arts because everyone in this movie is kung fu fighting. The special effects aren't anything to brag about; a few things get vaporized rather unimpressively, but everything else comes down to the many fight scenes. The fights would not be that bad were it not for the fact that no blows seem to get within two feet of their targets; I am quite confident in saying no actor was injured in the making of this movie, unless that person tripped coming out of his/her trailer or something. On the positive side, the movie doesn't shy away from its campiness, so you don't feel too bad about laughing at all of the inane dialogue and affected accents. The plot makes a few leaps as large as Vince's jump from Proxima 18 to Earth, but it's all so simple and predictable that you don't have any trouble following it. Of course, there has to be a human girl involved; you can't make a movie like this without adding a touch of interplanetary romance to the mix. Alien Force is really just your typical low-budget science fiction film, succeeding well enough for what it is.
