Xeno Ratings & Reviews
- Eurico.MApril 19, 2026Simple story en bad effects
- Vincent ReggianniniOctober 25, 2025Maybe I am getting sappy in my old age, but this is a great movie. Think of it as a slightly more grown up version of E.T., on a PG-13 level. It’s obviously the product of a low budget, but they pull off some very impressive practical effects through a valid and heartwarming story. The lead actor does a believable job of carrying the film and although the antagonists are cardboard cutout “bad guys” there is still enough suspense to make you really feel some tension. Maybe I was caught off-balance by this movie, but that allowed me to enjoy a really good movie without the decades of cynicism ruining anything for me
- J. MarkumFebruary 27, 2026Fair acting but a bit overdone on the lead character. The Xeno itself had potential but came up short in several ways. The story well that's where it all falls down, an overused theme in this genre and VERY predictable. The special effects were decent but over all pretty boring. Watch it if you have nothing better to do (like your laundry)...
- sinriseOctober 25, 2025I really tried with this movie. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be for kids (which I guess means we should expect poor quality all around?) All the characters are one dimensional. The main character is stupid, mean, sullen little brat and totally unlikable. The writing is awful. The practical creature FX are on part with 80's movies. The CGI was at least ok. But, the bottom line is I didn't make it through the whole film. It really is just boring. I don't see how kids would like this even if that is the target audience. Not sure who this movie is made for but if you're a scifi/monster/horror fan definitely skip it.

- DermotNovember 20, 2025Pretty low budget and acting pretty bad
- ammy.pFebruary 15, 2026It was cute and sweet! And the kids acting was awesome :)
- SirMonkalotJanuary 27, 2026Another generic “Friendly Monster” movie that was very on the nose. Nothing really stood out, it felt like someone asked ChatGPT to make a movie like ET but make the alien look like a knockoff Xenomorph.
- Steve PecoraroNovember 15, 2025It was worth watching. I'd watch a part 2 if they make it.
- FigueiragamesNovember 8, 2025If you like sci fi movie you gonna love this alien movie
- Timeless CinemaSeptember 21, 2025The actors work to carry the underwhelming story and minimally developed characters. Xeno is forgettable, but it has enjoyable moments.
- the2ndJanuary 8, 2026A 20-something actor that looks 30-something trying to play 15 yr old character. This movie could have been good back the acting was terrible.
- Jimac1888January 5, 2026Really bad, don't waste your time
- superGUNnerJanuary 4, 2026Not a bad movie with a standard ET being chased by the government story line.
- staffm8January 2, 2026Meh… I’m not upset that I watched it but it could have been a lot better. Everything about it was just off, the acting, the storyline, the characters. They just could have been better. I don’t know how else to explain it.
