Official Score = 2 Devils[/caption]When I was a kid one of the Science Fiction movies that I found to not just be an interesting concept, but was actually a lot of fun, was the movie, Highlander (1986) with Christopher Lambert (Mortal Kombat).
I mean the concept of an immortal man that goes from age to age, and living through out history, fighting against his own kind... (Because there can be only one), was just a great movie, and a fun time in general...
Well when the show came to TV, Adrial Paul (The Void) took over the lead role for the TV series, and well, the truth is, is I think he did an absolutely awesome job in the lead on that show...
I hate to say it, but I have not seen to much of his work since, which is a shame, because in a role when he kicks ass he does an absolutely awesome job... And you know what? AE: Apocalypse Earth (2013) may not be a great movie, but it is a great example of Adrian Paul and his work as an actor!
Written & Directed by: Thunder Levin (American Warships). Starring: Adrial Paul, Richard Greico (Coachella Massacre), Bali Rodriguez, Gray Hawkes (The Hermit) & Jayson McCardell (From Faith To Freedom).
The concept behind this movie I found to be rather fascinating... What I mean by this, is that when humanity looses the war against an alien invasion force, Earth manages to get a couple of escape ship off the surface and away from the alien invasion forces...

Mankind as they are trying to crowd in to their escape crafts![/caption]On their way, through the cosmos and while the survivors of Earth are under cryogenic suspension, their ships end up crash landing on to a hostile world, where they are being hunted by a group of hostile aliens that would be ok with wiping out humanity!
And for them to survive, they are going to have to band together with the humanoids on this new planet till they can get a ship they find up to working order and off this planet, so that they can go home...

Richard Greico with Adrian Paul in, 'AE: Apocalypse Earth'... In which they play the last survivors of humanity![/caption]In the end, the truth is, is the concept behind this movie is an awful lot of fun, and the locations were great, the acting, and the vision of, 'Thunder Levin' was absolutely amazing... The problems though are as follows:
1. If the aliens are supposed to be completely camouflaged, then how come it seems to be easy to kill them?
2. Also, the alien ships are just a little to easy to destroy...
3. Also, the alien weaponry looks just a little to cheap, and I have to wonder, why with so much going for them did the makers of the movie end up using weapons that were dressed up to looks like more then they really were, but in the end was probably some sort of plastic toys that they got from the dollar store?
This movie may not be the best in the world, but it is a fun one, and I am glad that I have seen it at least once...
