Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

riesel72 After watching (and regretting) several days of cringe-worthy or boring sci-fi movies on Netflix I came across this gem. Like my roommates, i ignored it at first because of the 1-star ratings. The trailer was lackluster and didn't or couldn't really show us what it is or what to expect; Even the cheesy title makes it sound more sci-fi than it should be. IMO, this is just as good as "American Sniper" and "Saving Private Ryan". And yes it does have SHADES of "Starship Troopers" but the sci- fi elements are only a PART, not the whole. Yes there are aliens and a little alien tech, but their presence does not dominate the plot at all; the aliens are almost a macguffin. This is a movie about a military squad assigned to a remote outpost, followed by a documentary film crew. THANKFULLY, the movie is NOT fully shot in found-footage/first person style. It seamlessly & masterfully switches between the two styles, and NOT jarringly at all - the vast majority of the film is in the traditional style). It's about the very human characters and their experiences at this time. Very intelligent dialogue, characters, and story; wonderful special effects (although it IS a military/war film, so there is some realistic blood and gore); a very under-rated film that deserved much much more than it has received.

Paul Adcock I enjoyed this movie & found it to be a competent & entertaining offering in all respects. The story line was well developed & engaging. The characters, though somewhat clichéd to some extent, were believable & well rounded. The acting, sets & direction were flawless. Alien Outpost is definitely no amateur hour effort. Yep. It's a great flick. But let's face it... it is imbedded with a non too subtle political subtext & could easily have been called 'Terrorist' Outpost. To begin with, the troops are American marines stationed in an Arabic country, namely Pakistan, where they are constantly under attack from the local tribesmen. In fact, the only enemy we see for a good part of the movie are turban-bound combatants who object to the presence of an American outpost in their country. But of course the Americans 'must' be there to fight the big bad terrorists. I mean... aliens. And the overwhelming premise presented by the film is that, yes.. it's okay for Americans to slap a military outpost in any country they want & sovereignty be damned.However, political bias notwithstanding it's a great flick & to be honest, the behaviour of the local tribesmen would probably be just the same if the main combatants were in fact aliens.

seanbrown-77710 I don't what movie the latest reviews were watching or maybe they were trying up the review ratings but this movie was beyond terrible. It almost looked like some of the actors knew they were in a terrible movie and were trying to keep themselves from laughing during certain scenes.All the camera shaking and obvious military drama felt like every cliché in the book for this type of movie not to mention hardly anything Sci-Fi about it. If you're considering watching this movie, do yourself a favor and save yourself a couple hours and do something constructive like clean your house instead. You'll feel better about yourself afterwards.

James A challenge to review, given that this film is pretty authentic-looking, raises some interesting issues and is at least competently done, and on occasions even impressive. This is not the first time that we seem to need to be reminded in a film context that the armed forces of the United States (most especially at the level of the ordinary personnel) are effective, brave and mostly noble in their intentions. "The Last Ship" has been doing something quite similar for the US Navy, and a little bit by the way has a pretty interesting pandemic-plague-apocalypse story tacked on. In the case of "Mankind's Last Stand" (aka "Outpost 37"), we have an alien invasion story with a twist relatively unique, given that the invasion was some time previously, and success with its repulsion has been partly, even largely achieved! That just leaves pockets of resistance to be cleared up - a dirty, thankless and often dangerous task now pursued out of the gaze of a planet putting its life back together, and seeking to put a very unpleasant setback behind it ASAP. The full story here unfolds via a pseudo-documentary "talking heads" mechanism (involving service personnel) which convinces pretty well and apparently has various time frames that leave we viewers a little ensure as to how far along the story the film is going to take us. It is more than half way through that we finally learn that the "US" in USDF does not stand for "United States" (shades of the USS in "USS Enterprise" - and a reasonable enough plot device given the goal of the movie). Since both alien invasion and (mainly) United States forces are involved, it is clear that this is not entirely new territory for a film. You've got series after series of "Falling Skies", plus "Monsters", "Battle: Los Angeles", "Cloverfield" - even "Independence Day" and "War of the Worlds" to choose from. Hence those who like comparing alien invasion movies, or are even carrying out a study of them, will certainly add "Outpost 37" to their collection, and probably even be pretty satisfied. The bigger question is what everybody else should do! It's not especially that "Outpost 37" is obviously a worse film. It really isn't, even if it is a modest offering that relies on (sometimes quite thought-provoking) storytelling and realistic scene-setting rather more than a grand scale or special effects. It's just that it got to the cinemas rather later than the others mentioned above, and perhaps after our appetite for this particular kind of movie has been satisfied...
