Village Voice by Alan Scherstuhl

The promise of the multi-screen future-history info-dump that kicks off Alien Outpost isn't enough to mask this military sci-fi indie's repetitive familiarity.

The Dissolve by Andrew Lapin

Once the Heavies arrive back on the scene, Raisani uses their presence—and the way the military dispatches them—to dodge complexity in favor of shooting stuff for freedom’s last stand. It’s Starship Troopers without the irony. But it looks nice.

Slant Magazine by Ed Gonzalez

The film splits its time evenly between half-heartedly pretending it's an allegory for our current war on terror and pretending that it's not.

New York Post by Kyle Smith

A sci-fi actioner with the production values of your average porno, Alien Outpost spews clichés like a machine gun set on maximum triteness.

Los Angeles Times by Michael Rechtshaffen

This first feature by Jabbar Raisani is played out with considerable conviction on the part of its director and the tough-guy cast (led by Rick Ravanello), but the alien element is less convincing because of corny costumes and static-y special effects.
