Alien at the Movies

Songbird

For those seeking some escapism entertainment during these pandemic times, this film may be an odd choice.

In 2024 Los Angeles, Nico (KJ Apa), a bike courier with immunity to COVID-23, races against time to save his girlfriend Sara. Scripted & film entirely during our current 2020 worldwide pandemic, this is a nightmarish escalation of today’s real life situation. The film centers around just a few interwoven character storylines bounded by these obstacles hindering society: the deadly disease itself, the strict quarantines, & controlling martial law. Bradley Whitford, Demi Moore, & Craig Robinson round out the cast.

Alien gives it 3 “lockdown” stars out of 4.
