Alien at the Movies

Endangered Species

A family’s dream African safari vacation turns into a nightmare. Real life couple Rebecca Romijn & Jerry O’Donnell star in this not so subtle thriller. The lure of a working vacation must have been too great for them to resist; plus minimizing their onscreen time. This film feels more like a made for TV movie. All of the anticipated scenes are so obviously telegraphed that it becomes almost comical. The film’s messages are so heavy handed. It was just not very believable how things played out in the film. But it was a great view of Kenya. 

Alien gives it 1½ “baby rhino” stars out of 4.
