BoondockScholar Speaking to the craziness of this film, I think it is also important to note that a SEMI drives over some old, rattle-trap car. Both occupants somehow miraculously not only survive, they are thrown from the vehicle (on foot no less) and run after the semi.Yea, a couple surviving a roll-over like that, falling out, and getting it on in the dirt and dust is a little off-base, but the semi scene. Really, Shatner? This was so painful to watch.I hope this was meant to be a spoof, but I have this lurking suspicion that it's not.

Augusta Insigne (EllenAndree) I don't know why moderators didn't insert the cast zero vote, because one is just too much for this, i recommend for those who want to laugh endless about grossness. Notes: You can notice in the groom lake cafe on the decorated back mirror a big microphone when they're shooting. the alien is just ridiculous. The cars who are running on a straight street had to turn left lane during the shoot to avoid the knockdown of cameras-men. The plot is really bad funny especially when they wanna die suddenly after climbing and crashing their car tumbled down. Began with a love excursion, then go out of plans totally: the worst guinness for this too. The purple radiation light on the skin and the UFO spaceship jellyfish could be made with a win95 software by anyone. The award for worst special effects too. The characters are totally inexpressive, too awfully acting like script-less and improvised scenes, they killed the characters mistaking their roles, like they would not have own. The scene in the military base with the purple sky and the people walking is reiterated about 5 times, even ahead on the movie end. Every scene is worth of laugh, especially Andy and kate tumbled down from a high hill, they were completely unharmed, and then they continued quietly kissing... GooooofY The shooting quality way it's the same used on the DVD backstages, where it is used for interviews. The boyfriend didn't die galvanized across the wire netting like the other intruder did, Or HE must be SUPERMAN or it's Goofy. The girlfriend instead, has been raped from that unsuspected couple, LOL, what's within the rest of plot line??? she wanted to die, what she was waiting for then? Don't waste your money, unless you want to laugh.

Winfred van de Put It is sad to see a potentially nice subject (dying girl tries to find alien life before she dies) wasted like this. The characters are wooden, there is hardly any logic in their actions. But there is a lot more in this film to complain about. The special effects could be charming as they are disarmingly clumsy and unconvincing, but they fail to be. The lighting and editing reminds one of the bold and the beautiful. The acting is terrible. No memorable one-liners whatsoever. In short, there are no redeeming qualities. William Shatner even succeeded in miscasting himself. Only a tiny amount of irony or self-parody would have made the film at least bearable, but unfortunately it all seems to be meant seriously. Avoid.

Andreas It has been 9 years since William Shatner wrote, directed and starred in "Tek War" and even 14 years since he presented "Star Trek V" to the audience. Now Shatner is finally back with "Groom Lake", which he wrote, directed and stars in. The story centers around a young couple, Kate (Amy Acker) and Andy (Dan Gauthier), who go to Groom Lake in order to spend their last days together, because Kate is dying. Soon they become witnesses of alien activity around the area and have to cope with strangely obsessed people who have been influenced by the aliens. Meanwhile, John Gossner (William Shatner), the captain of a military base involved with the aliens has to cope with the administration, which wants to cancel his work. "Groom Lake" is a low - budget independent movie, which is unfortunately quite obvious in a couple of scenes. Especially the special effects (created by C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures, a Canadian firm of which Shatner is the chief executive officer)are quite unrealistic and cheap. But still "Groom Lake" is much better than an average B - movie, it is clearly visible that Shatner has put all his energy and love into this project. A strong story, an unpredictable puzzle that keeps the audience excited from the beginning to the end and a wonderful performance by Amy Acker raise this movie high above average. The main message of the movie is also very touching and probably the most important aspect for William Shatner, who dedicated the film to his late wife Nerine and to Mike, his new wife's ex - husband who died of cancer. It is the message that there is a life after death, because the human essence is immortal. 8 out of 10 stars !
