The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

A good alien and a bad alien land on this planet in 1869. The bad alien intends to call others and tell them what a rich planet this is, so they can exploit its population together. The good alien warns a human being that mankind is in danger of an invasion if the bad alien cannot be stopped. That human being happens to be Reinhardt (Robert Amstler), a gunman who has already some trouble, because he is falsely accused of theft and headhunters chase him into the mountains. Reinhardt follows the good alien's instructions, however, and fights the bad alien who clearly has superior firepower. More than a century later, the young scientist Marina (Nadia Lanfranconi) discovers Reinhardt's body and his diary, and she has to prevent an alien invasion again – all alone as nobody believes her story about aliens.Maybe the ingredients were a bit too obviously taken from other movies, especially the look of the bad alien is a straight copy from 'Predator'. However, the story is built up well with the parallel story lines of present day and wild west times. Fighting scenes, acting skills and special effects all leave a lot to be desired, though - before watching this, don't expect more than amateur quality.

By Jove, dystopian old west has some visitors from outer space.Hilarious it is, both for all the contradictions, and over the top displays of dynamism; that it makes one seek the strangest of bedfellows to decipher this one-piece. Band names so hilarious they cut out a sleek bang. Spoiler! A Faux Pas is cooking.We Butter The Bread With Banter — Oh my guard. Forest guard. Why are you gate keeping a forest you never tread. And being caught off-guard? The Hero, Reinhard getting to lock legs with PTV, Predator The Villain. Blimey! Predator shook his(?) head way too much than he groaned.Heroin Your Vines — Say the forest is the vineyard. A big walking machine has just landed in here. And very armed. It goes about testing a super-massive weapon on the vines just in case any inhabitant is watching, to witness how it will bring about earth's decimation. Like the heroine does, in a different manner. Like heroin, really.Godflash (oops) — This! Not the savior of the universe. It's the beams. The shots. The signals. The eyesight
They just surpassed the Jesus status.Aesthetic Hunt Promotions — Because matters of the heart! The aesthetic value exists in the alien's heart (should it have one). So now it's obvious why a beauty will promulgate the alien's wish back to space, all in the name of science. Duh! Pure Aesthetic Heart Promotions.Mourning Teleportations — Falling. Into a world, well past morning. In a ball of ash. Teleportation so conspicuous! What is being named here? Morning Teleportations could after all be worth the wait since no one knows what else could snap out of the "gravitational anomaly", besides a predator and a green alien.Reprobate Romans — Doing it as they do in the proverbial town, especially when it could turn out being labeled immoral. Beauty and beast, only that beauty doesn't take being eaten before having a bath as one idea to be in the nude about.Yo! My waking habits will now beg a question. But I won't curse the shriek of a sneaky Methuselahesque alien. Yet.

Original title, as displayed in the movie: Alien Predator War. This is actually a nice movie, considering the budget and the level of amateurism. The story is thin but interesting. The cinematography is really amateuristic. It is clear what it is supposed to look like, but it just doesn't.The movie score is monotonous at best. Better than no music, they must have thought. Some kind of elevator music I think. The acting is fairly decent, save Robert Amstler's performance (Reinhardt/Alien invader) which is more like pretending to act, while stepping through the forest scenery like a 1967 sasquatch. Amstler is best described as a cousin of Arnold Schwarzenegger who never took acting lessons. Also he is the producer of this movie. Multi-tasking is common in these mockbuster movies. Rene Perez is director, cameraman, writer, editor, and fight choreographer.Special effects are creative but far from good, again with an ultra low budget in mind - fair. There is some inspired screenplay, like making use of the environment nicely (the huge fallen trees). An alien invader (predator lookalike from the movie "Predator") comes in. Very creatively the dreadlock-like beady hear strings are suggested with pieces of ragged cloth. Also, it's stepping through the woods like bigfoot. That's when I realized it must be the same actor playing Reinhardt. Another alien (a "gray") transmits information in an inaudibly garbled voice. I still wonder what it was saying.The cgi guy worked miracles. Really, I take off my hat. Nice work!There is a scene with bears, which is clearly out of a documentary like from Discovery or National Geographic. Well, as long as they paid for it it's okay. And YES! There is nudity which seems to arouse the praying predator, breathing heavily and grunting like an animal - and wow! It appears silicone breast implants were available in 1894. Later, in present time, the "gray" alien also likes to look at the naked female body. Kinky aliens, those. The camera-work and editing allowed a little too much filler footage, seconds in where nothing really happens or is added to the movie, and no entertainment value is apparent. A lot of lost seconds, makes the movie advance a little faster trough time. At the end I was like: "Really? Already?"Concluding I'd say it is a nice movie on the amateur level. Something a cosplay club could have thrown together. Script is consistent, all the way, in contrary to the Asylums recent "Jack the giant killer". Once I discarded Amstler's chunky acting and the amateuristic cinematography, the movie was really not bad. Was I entertained? Moderately. On a geek level, though.

Just recently saw this movie and it was quite amateurish in its presentation. First of all the lead actor turns out to be the head of the production company that produced the movie (of course he gave himself the lead). The cowboy gear he wears is straight out of a current western apparel store and the lead of the story even wears twin forearm leather guards, something I had not seen in the hundreds of western movies I have previously watched. The special effects were, to say the least, not too special, as it appeared that the facial gear for the original Arnold S. movie Predator was crudely copied for this clone of predator. The other alien (good alien)was one of the most fake looking blow up doll alien wannabees I've seen in any movie. I would presume the budget for this movie was somewhere in the low 100,000s, with the lead probably working gratis, and hoping that somehow this straight to DVD turk would generate enough capital that he would actually draw a paycheck after expenses. I wouldn't bet on it buddy! StocktonRob
