The alien Kulku demand eight million humans or they will destroy the planet. The world governments cave in and the U.S. has a lottery to decide who will be sacrificed. Stephen Chase (Brad Johnson) sets out to save his daughter, who has been selected.
Quick Review: The scene of the destruction of a town looks good and the set up, with the ethical questions for both the aliens who had been noble in the past, and the human governments, had promise. There, I wanted to say something nice about Alien Siege. Done with that.
This is a poorly acted, horribly written, cliché ridden mess. Ignoring what could have been interesting, like how the governments and people react to the alien demand, Alien Siege goes for the action-hero-scientist using his secret ray gun (which he got from Roswell; will these cheap invasion film ever forget about Roswell?). There’s a romance, sort of, that makes no sense, but hey, don’t these movies need a romance? And there is the dramatic saving of the daughter and confrontation with the enemy leader. It’s all been done a hundred times before, and usually better. Poor Carl Weathers has a cameo as a collaborating general who has a good heart; I guess he can’t find real work.
This is the type of film where the hero turns his back on the villain (who he was holding at gun point) just so he can be knocked out.
