Alien Nation Ratings & Reviews
- ZokkiieDecember 29, 2025An 80s sci-fi with a fun twist—aliens trying to live among humans. It’s a bit uneven at times, with cheesy moments and slow spots, but the humor and quirky ideas keep it interesting. Not mind-blowing, but a pretty enjoyable, laid-back watch.
- Mister ArnJanuary 14, 2025“Alien Nation” puts a unique spin on the classic buddy cop formula by making one of the partners an alien. As expected, the cops are wildly out of control—behavior that would land them behind bars in real life. But if you enjoy this action-packed movie and can set aside a need for realism, it’s entertaining and watchable.
