Alien Origin

Alien Origin is a 2012 science fiction movie directed by Mark Atkins. The movie features an ensemble cast of Philip Coc, Eric Darins, Daniela Flynn, and Mjr. John Frear. Alien Origin is a survival-horror movie that tries to blend horror, scientific explanation, and conspiracy theories into a compelling narration.

The movie starts with a group of ten explorers venturing deep into the Amazon rainforest to search for an ancient pyramid. The team is led by Dr. Joseph Smith (Philip Coc), an archaeologist who is looking for evidence that a civilization existed in the Amazon basin long before the Aztecs and Incas. The team consists of a linguist, a microbiologist, a geologist, a survival expert, and the obligatory token hot babe, played by Daniela Flynn.

After a long and perilous journey through the dense jungle, the group finally stumbles upon the pyramid. The structure is older than anything previously discovered in the Amazon, and it's baffling that nobody ever found it before. However, as the team investigates the pyramid, they realize that it's not an ordinary structure. There are strange markings and paintings that indicate that the pyramid was constructed by extraterrestrial beings.

As the team explores further, they discover that the pyramid has an ominous ambiance, and they encounter objects that no human hands could have crafted. However, the team is resolute in their determination to press on, and they finally discover an underground chamber that houses a giant, intricate machine.

The machine seems to be a living organism, and it's emitting an energy field that is affecting the team's health and sanity. However, just as the team tries to make sense of the machine's purpose, they realize that they are not alone. There are creatures lurking in the shadows, creatures that are not of this world, and they have been awakened by the team's exploration.

The creatures are relentless in their pursuit, and the team is quickly forced to abandon their scientific curiosity and focus on survival. The creatures seem to have an intergalactic vendetta against the human race, and the team must fight for their survival as they try to unravel the pyramid's mysterious purpose.

Alien Origin has drawn criticism for its derivative storyline, weak characters, and poor special effects. However, it provides a decent amount of suspense and delivers a well-executed climax. The movie's biggest strength is its ability to incite curiosity and create a compelling sense of mystery.

In summary, Alien Origin is a movie that tried to do a lot with a meager budget. Its storyline isn't particularly original, and it often seems like a pale imitation of other, more successful movies. However, it's an entertaining movie that provides just the right amount of suspense and mystery for audiences who love survival-horror movies.
