Alien Adventure Trailers

The movie begins with an extraterrestrial humanoid species, the Glegoliths, wandering through space in search of a new world. Encountering an unknown planet (which turns out to be Earth), the Glegolith leader (Cyrillus) sends two "manned" probes to the surface to determine if it is suitable for colonisation. The scouts in the probes think they have arrived at a great city, but in fact they have arrived at a new amusement park that is not yet open to the public. They proceed to explore four amusement rides.

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Alien Advanture" is a 35-minute movie from almost 20 years ago which was made by Belgian animator Ben Stassen. The major problem here is the complete lack of a plot in here. I guess the animation is fine for the most part and this may even be interesting when watched in 3D on a big screen, but I still believe there is almost nothing memorable to it overall. I have seen better stuff from Stassen, but I guess we can forgive him for this mediocrity here because he must have been really young when he shot this one and if it's needed to accelerate his improvement, then it is fine I guess. Still overall, I cannot recommend the watch here. Thumbs down.
Chuck Straub Alien Adventure is a film that consists entirely of 3D effects. There isn't any plot. The entire basis of this film is to show special effects in 3D. I saw this DVD on a regular television screen losing the 3D effects. The special effects were still nice but since I couldn't see it in 3D and that was the main purpose of the movie, there was no real point of watching it. I don't understand why they didn't combine some plot, some point to the movie, with the 3D viewing. If you can't see this in 3D, don't bother to watch it. It's a waste of time. If you are able to see it in 3D, expect to see 3D and some great special effects but nothing more.
matthewbg In the finest tradition of sci-fi 3-D movies, the plot is terrible.The 3-D effects, however, are really very good. I just bought a 3-D viewing system on line and was impressed at how well the home system worked. Of course, one loses the sheer mass of the IMAX screen, but it is pretty cool to see quality 3-D popping out of your home screen (and we just have a standard 19" color TV).The aliens look great and the roller coaster rides are entertaining, though it would have been nice for the aliens to encounter something else at the amusement park (like a 3-D shooting gallery, for example).
Shiva-11 Alien Adventure: A band of aliens that travels the galaxy looking for planets to conquer discovers a small blue green planet that they think will be perfect for their newest base. However, when their scouting party lands in a soon to be opened virtual theme park the begin to have second thoughts.Besides having the biggest screens of any theatres the IMAX format also allows for excellent 3-D effects. While there have been several attempts to exploit this format most of them have consisted of paper thin plots that serve to connect the special effects sequences and showcase what is possible (Encounters in the Third Dimension however did manage to combine both aspects successfully). This feature is no different.Adventure 3-D sequences are very well done - you feel like you are actually on a roller coaster, (they were so well done that I almost got as sick as one of the characters in the movie). Unfortunately, that's all there is- each sequence is a slightly retooled version of its predecessor.Once you take into account the length of the film and the cost, you're better off going to Six Flags (or any other big amusement park) for the real thing - it will cost less and be more exciting.
