Think how much better the Americans would have done with this plot line and you've got a clue as to the current problems with UK cinema - something the Film Council and all the Lottery funding in the world won't cure.
A good film starts with a good script - this movie doesn't have one. Once you've got your knock-out script you cast the best possible actors you can get for the roles, not a string of television personalities, minor stand-up comedians and B-list celebs.
Then you get a good director and give him or her a decent budget. "Alien Autopsy" would have been much better done for television, where most of the performers in it belong. It just doesn't have the scale, scope or ambition to be a big-screen movie. And for something selling itself as a comedy, it certainly doesn't have enough laughs. Don't waste your money - avoid.
