Alien Apocalypse falls into that deadly and dull middle ground between those films that take themselves seriously and those that do not. It's clear from the acting, plot (or lack thereof), special effects, and so on that it's not a serious movie, but it never lets loose and embraces its cheesiness. Instead, it falls somewhere in the middle and just looks poorly executed and lame.
Unfortunately, Bruce Campbell fails to save the movie. I'm a big fan of his, but he wasn't given anything to work with in terms of a script. His humor and charm don't come through as much as they should; the part might as well have been played by any other Sci-Fi Channel stalwart, like Antonio Sabato Jr.
Basically, I'd only recommend this to die hard Bruce Campbell fans who feel the need to see every one of his movies, even ones that (like Alien Apocalypse) aren't very entertaining.
