Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): An express train traveling at 70mph that is closing from 100 miles behind on a cargo train traveling at 15mph in the same direction will take 109 minutes to reach it not the 58 minutes that Gina calculates. more

Rubber sock-puppet aliens aren't the worst part!, 15 August 2005
2/10
Author: Craig from Australia

Alien Express is one of the worst movies I've bothered to experience.

The plot is predictable. The aliens look like rubber sock puppets. The effects would have been mediocre in the 70's, but are just atrocious by today's standards. Couldn't they take a shot of a real train instead of using an obvious model?

The acting isn't great but, really, the dialogue is the worst part. It gouges its way into your mind. "Don't you die on me. Not now." If you ever manage to suspend disbelief long enough to be absorbed into the movie, you'll rapidly be jolted painfully back to reality by the aliens, the model train, or the clichéd dialogue.

The only reason I didn't give this movie a "1" is that it doesn't deserve to be rated so badly that some poor suckers might watch it for the pleasure inherent in a truly bad film.
