5.0 out of 5 stars In the heat of a SF night
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2017
Verified Purchase
Derided by many film critics as having too little SF and being too much like a cop buddy movie I was apprehensive prior to my revisiting this 1988 film as to whether it would come across as embarrassingly dated. However, although the movie definitely has a feel of its time it has somehow retained an entertaining freshness and the themes explored are similar to those confronted in Neill Blomkamp’s District 9, but whereas that film has the South African government segregating the alien newcomers from the indigenous human population, in Alien Nation the government of the United States has granted their more humanoid alien immigrants citizenship and decreed that they are to be integrated into southern California society. Perhaps it is because the movie’s strength lies in the successful chemistry between the two lead actors (along with their predictable, but nevertheless amusing interactions) that the film does not appear dated. At times James Caan’s Matt “I’m a bigot” Sykes and newcomer Mandy Patinkin’s Sam ‘George’ Francisco appear to be reprising Steiger and Poitier in In the Heat of the Night, and even though the plotting is predictable and the car chases inevitable its obvious allegorical relevance to western countries today still resonates. However, the fast pacing of the narrative never allows the social points to overwhelm the action. I particularly enjoyed the appearance of Republican President Ronald Reagan offering these intergalactic immigrants amnesty and citizenship while the presence of Terence Stamp in any movie is a plus. In my opinion, a classic movie whether in the SF or cop buddy genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars This review is for the 101 films issue of Alien Nation

Saw this film recently. It holds up well as entertainment. The Blu-ray is a decent 1080P transfer. The disc has a subtitle track and a player generated track for the Newcomer language scenes, starting with the scene in the morgue.

5.0 out of 5 stars ALIEN NATION
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2015

A brilliant 80`s sci-fi film, still up to date(ish) and this takes me back to my youth. Stars a youngish James Caan, Terence Stamp to name a few, James plays a cop in LA and becomes the new home of 300,000 humanoid extraterrestrials. Then a gang of the ET`s kills a police officer (James partner) an ET becomes his new partner and together try to find the killer and solve the crime, they soon become friends. Arrived promptly and i would recommend both the film and the seller. @:0)

Excellent item, service, delivery time and packaging. A great film, vastly over-rated and way before it's time! I would certainly recommend and use this seller again.
