After the opening voice-over narrative tells the audience
that aliens are being imprisoned inside people’s brains, I started to question
where Alienoid was heading as a story.
Scratch that. When the film jumped 600 years into the past,
I really started to question what this film had in store for me.
Wait. Hold on. It was when the space SUV pummels through a
sky portal to reveal a cyborg and his shape-changing Apple-style Wall-E
knock-off sidekick who steal a baby from said past, rewire her brain, and raise
her as a contributing member of the society in current times that I started to
wonder… where in the fiery CGI-green-screen hell was this film going to go?
The answer is that Alienoid goes. It just goes. And
it goes. And it goes. And it goes.
