Alien at the Movies

Illya Naishuller writes, directs, & produces this unique first-person GoPro perspective film that's parkour "Robocop" meets "Avatar" meets Magneto with near nonstop action & plenty of blood & carnage. Henry is a human cyborg with a wiped memory who must fight for his life battling an army of bad guys while on a mission to rescue his kidnapped wife. Sharito Copley stars as the many faces of Jimmy, Henry's lone assistant in this shoot 'em up, blow 'em up spectacle. Amongst the utter violence lies a sly sense of humor in the character portrayals & musical selections. Gamers may love this look & feel, but for the motion-sickness challenged, it may be more than they can stomach. It is senseless violence told in an unusual style bound to polarize audiences.  You'll either love it or hate it. Better rush to the theaters if you want to see this Russian production on the big screen because it isn't likely to be there for long but it may become a cult classic.

Alien gives it 2 ½ "dizzying disorientation" stars out of 4.
