Aliens Stole My Body

Aliens Stole My Body falls so spectacularly short in the face of its potential by doling out a poor, uninspiring sequel that has lost its charm and wit from the original. A weak plot, unimaginative dialog, and a cast going through the motions rather than embracing the whimsy behind the story are all culprits in crippling the movie. Most especially the much-anticipated special effects, characteristic of the science fiction adventure genre, now appear a bit outdated and underwhelming in their visual appeal. While lightening its tone to make it more acceptable to a younger audience, it succeeded in losing that sense of wonder and excitement that truly made the original worthwhile. In the end, Aliens Stole My Body feels more like a forgettable TV movie than an epic worth continuing such a strong series.
