Alien Armageddon is an action-packed science fiction movie that was released in 2011. The movie stars Katharine Lee McEwan, Marilyn Ghigliotti, and Cynthia Martin. It's a low-budget movie produced by Wild Eye Releasing, but it still manages to deliver fantastic special effects, thrilling action scenes, and a quirky sense of humor, making it a real treat for fans of B-grade sci-fi movies.

The movie takes place in the year 2015, where a massive object is detected heading towards Earth. The object turns out to be a spacecraft, which crashes in the Mojave Desert. The crash site gets surrounded by a military team, but before they can investigate further, the team is attacked by strange alien creatures that emerge from the wreckage of the spacecraft. Meanwhile, a washed-up former astronaut named Roy (Don Scribner) is called upon to lead a mission into space to investigate the origin of the spacecraft.

In the meantime, the alien invasion takes over the world, and the survivors desperately attempt to fight back against the extraterrestrial monsters. The creatures are unlike anything anyone has ever seen and pose a severe threat to humanity. The military team tries to save as many people as they can, but in the end, it's clear that they are not enough. It's up to Roy and his team to find a way to stop the aliens before they exterminate the human race.

In terms of the overall story, Alien Armageddon is a relatively simplistic movie. Still, it touches upon some deeper themes such as loyalty, teamwork, and sacrifice. Despite the lack of characterization of the supporting and minor cast, the movie primarily focuses on Roy and his team of astronauts, making it an enjoyable ride. Major parts of the movie center around action set-pieces, which are incredibly well-shot and leave the audience awestruck.

The CGI used in the movie is stunning, and it's evident that the movie's production designers spent considerable time creating the aliens, spacecraft, and the destruction that they cause. The movie takes place in various places, from a government office, to a laboratory, to the crew's spaceships to the crash site, and in each scenario, there are different visual elements that make each scene stand out. The movie's sound design, including the music score, is also very well done and complements the visuals perfectly.

One of the most refreshing things about Alien Armageddon is how charmingly, it attempts to balance humor with the action. Even in the most dire situations, director Neil Johnson manages to add some genuinely hilarious moments. This helps to alleviate the tension that would have otherwise made the movie incoherent. The movie's script is not perfect, but the director's familiarity with the sci-fi genre compensates it. The dialogues could have been better, and some exchanges between characters feel forced, however, the overall narrative is still engaging.

Another drawback of the movie is its acting. Most of the cast is forgettable, except for Katharine Lee McEwan who pulls off a great performance as Captain Linda Glenn. Her character is tough, combat-ready, and fits into the movie's action set pieces perfectly. The actors playing the minor roles are decent, but the real problem lies in the lack of connection between the performers.

Overall, Alien Armageddon is a fun-filled B-grade sci-fi movie that is well-worth a watch, especially for fans of the genre. Its plot might be simple, and the acting may not be perfect, but the special-effects, action sequences, humor, and the stunning visuals make it an enjoyable watch. It's an interesting take on the alien invasion trope, and the sense of humor and campiness adds to the fantastic experience.

Alien Armageddon is a 2011 science fiction movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 35 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 2.1.
