ALIENOID MOVIE REVIEW

Do you want a movie about a cyborg alien guard and his robot sidekick assigned to monitoring and capturing extraterrestrial prisoners hiding here on Earth inside human brains? How about one that takes place in the 14th and 21st centuries with characters able to cross time and space in a souped up, sentient sports utility Jeep that can double as a spaceship? How about one that has a baby girl rescued in the past and brought to the future and raised by the cyborg and robot but has grown a bit to witty and curious and has figured out her “Dads” might actually be from another planet? How about impressive Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Wire-Fu enhanced by expert hand-to-hand martial artist actors and PlayStation 4 CGI? Not enough yet? Okay! How about a movie that has competing bounty hunter wizards in the Korean Goryeo Dynasty who can bend air, pull swords from fans, mutate kittens into people, and use sci-fi tech to create forcefield prisons? Or maybe you want a movie about an alien invasion of a major city where tentacle creatures possess humans and a space hero has to CGI boss battle his evil counterpart while preventing a widespread gaseous explosion that may render all of Seoul helpless against the malevolent force? Or, ya know what? How about we put ALL of that into one movie? Yeah, that’s the ticket. And Tessa, Chad, Lewayne, and T.C. are here to review that actual film. But maybe, just maybe there’s a way to do an entire MCU Phase of plot in one film and succeed. Does Alienoid do that? The Squad is here to tell you.

Chad Halvorsen (Screener Squad)

Chad Halvorsen currently resides in Milwaukee, WI, where he produces and edits commercials, films, and everything in between. He was always a fan of film/television growing up, spending days in the Summer, making (terrible) home movies with his brothers. Little did he know that passion would carry on into adulthood. Since 2006, Chad has worked for several agencies in various departments. Shooting, producing, editing, production management, directing, and when forced to, writing copy. In 2015, Chad decided to take the big leap and become a freelancer. Since then, he’s produced content for Lyft, AT&T, Target, and Discovery Network. His passion lies in entertaining people, making them feel better, even for a moment.
