One of my all time favorites.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

YES I THINK THIS IS THE BEST XTRO FILM.Xtro, was basically just a splatter film with huge imagination going wild and disgusting visual effects. Take the imagination away and you'll possibly have me hating it.Xtro 2 - oh god where do I start. With acting so wooden you'd think they'd cast an entire Canadian forest for the roles and writing of the cheapest kind by 4 people.Then we come to this. To be honest this is not a bad little monster movie, yes the visuals are bad. but if you take into account that it's independent then it's probably the best visuals I have seen for an indie film.The acting was good aside from the actor that plays the old man. The writing is actually the best I have seen in these little films (better see more of Daryl Haney and Harrry Bromley Davenport working together).So basically I prefer it to the other Xtro films. I hope this Xro 4 coming out is a step above this one and not a step down like Xtro 2.

The original "Xtro" (1983) still remains a cult favorite these days, because of the gory effects and weird nightmare sequences. Certainly, it was influenced by Ridley Scott's "Alien" (1979) but it was no cheap rip-off. Unfortunateley, that was the case with "Xtro 2: The Second Encouter" (1990). It had nothing in common with the original one and was nothing more than a mix between "Alien" and "Aliens". To a certain level, it was enjoyable, but not very good. It had it's moments.No memorable moments for the awful "Xtro 3: Watch The Skies". What the hell ? Again, totally unrelated to the previous films, so why the title ? Just another way to cash in on the cult success of the first one. But this time, it really is bad.. No idea what Andrew Divoff (Wishmaster) is doing here, the rest of the unknown cast if unconvincing. That can also be said about the creature, you can hardly see it and that may be for the best because it is bad and awful. The awful story is boring and uninspired. I use the word awful a lot but that perfectly describes this cheap mess.. avoid it at all cost....

This is a cheap and tatty generic sci-fi military paranoia paste-up job, using clichés minted in a thousand other movies.It does the best it can on a budget of about ninepence, but that isn't very good. The special effects aren't very special (lots of ordnance expended, and the chameleon effect is interesting), and the alien is poorly executed.The cast (with the exception of Robert Culp, adding a few bucks to the pension fund) is composed of total unknowns, and this movie is not going to change that for any of them.And there is incessant use of the F word to no particular effect. It isn't big and it isn't clever, guys.

This production was recently shown on Dutch TV, the TV-guide announced it as a very poor Predator ripp-off. Since the original Predator is one of my favourites, I taped Xtro for later reference. One day waiting on a cable guy I decided to view it. It was a long wait, I can tell you that. The urge of pressing the FF button every second scene was so enormous that I had to give in. This piece of junk does not even qualify as a Cult-thing by any standard. There is nothing to laugh about and script/acting/screenplay/continuity are so poor that you wonder why in the hell garbage like this makes it on video and National TV!. Don`t waste your time on this one. Go rent the original Predator, find a big screen TV, some Dolby stuff and let that cable guy stand in the rain for an hour or two....
