Horrible acting!!!!! Even worse story line!!!!! Terrible camera angling!!!!! Cheap "special" effects!!!!!! Can't even get to see the actual "THING" properly. I wish there was a "-" star rating for this movie. From now on I'm going to read reviews before and not after I see the movie, I don't usually write but this movie was just too horrible not to warn viewers before they watch it. The characters seem to die then come back to life, and for the story line, there's a difference between being desperate to find your spouse and just being plain dumb, as in the case of the couple that went missing. Basically, failure at it's best. And since when running around the forest shaking a camera is entertaining? They should have used the little funding from this film to either pay tuition for the actors, or the director.

I really knew nothing about "Alien Origin" before sitting down to watch it, other than the title. After the first couple of minutes I thought this was going to be a "Predator" copy. Nothing could be further from the truth!After watching "Alien Origin" I'm left to wonder what was the point of this film? Was it to see how much boredom a human being can tolerate? Perhaps there's a subliminal message embedded in the film urging viewers to eat more vegetables? It certainly wasn't to entertain the audience with an engrossing tale and engaging dialog. I would love to hear the director being interviewed about his reasons for making this film, I'd imagine the conversation would go something like this;Interviewer: "Well Mark perhaps you could tell our viewers what inspired you to create Alien Origin?"Mark Atkins: "Actually, my sole purpose in creating this film was to see just how much life I could suck out of people - end of story." Interviewer: "That's a bit callous isn't it Mark, after all life is short."Mark Atkins: "Ehh, It's just what I do."Please, do not waste your precious life watching this film. If you really have 88 minutes to spare, why not clean out the garage, start working on last year's tax return, or better still, visit your sick Aunt Mabel, all of which would be infinitely more entertaining. 1/10

guys i liked this movie and thinking of making one myself with my newly bought CMOS camcorder wait for my next release ;) I simply do not follow movies which are very high budget with great stars but poor storyline and just like following the crowd people assume that they liked the movie. I strongly suggest to get this perception out of our minds and start appreciating work of people newly entered in the movie industries. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and if you like films of this genre then you should enjoy it too. There were a few bits of the film that I guess weren't explored far enough (for me anyway, I pay too much attention to detail perhaps) but all in all I enjoyed it enough to want to watch it again sometime in the future.

This is the worst movie I have seen in a long time, it will make you sick if you just watch it due to the camera operation. I wouldn't watch it if someone loaned it to you. This is two hours of my life that I will never get back and I feel dumber for watching it. I would have enjoyed the movie if it had stayed in the ship longer and I noticed how they blurred it to avoid you seeing the plumbing in someones basement. I can honestly say that anyone can put out a movie these days and this one didn't even make a B-movie list for me. Don't get me wrong I love any kind of Sci-Fi but this was not even that. They try to pass it off as a documentary and some lost footage so don't walk RUN!!!!!
