What on planet Earth did I just watch?! I feel like a fool now watching the full entirety of this film, it's just stupid as hell. The acting was dreadful and the story just made no sense at all. A few News people are publicly allowed into the secretive Area 51 for the first time and then all a sudden without proper control from the military some aliens break out loose on a killing spree. One of the aliens has the ability to mimic people and how that one escaped is probably the stupidest thing to happen in the movie as it fools people in thinking they are the real person and the soldiers keep shooting at the wrong thing, accidentally killing the real person. The other aliens they just didn't show or explained how they got out, and they usually kill people using a tail which is obviously ripping off from Alien. Oh and there's a friendly telekinetic alien that talks like a computer... What?!!! This film is garbage, it's like the movie was made by aliens from the planet Stupid. Avoid this movie at all costs!
