Which is why it was unfortunate that the last act especially wasn't up to the same level. The characters may not have been the meatiest but they didn't frustrate and did find it easy to get behind the leads. It was engrossing and had a lot of intrigue and thoughtful moments. It, as aforementioned, started off very well. Some of the photography was slick and there was some skill in the directing and a natural chemistry between the actors. The best performances even very good, with a very strong lead in Kyle Gallner who brings intensity and likeability. 'Alien Code's' best element is indeed the acting, which is as everybody said well above average. One of those films that started off very well, with some surprisingly well done elements that didn't fail as feared, but ran out of steam too early which is a shame. It didn't fully live up to this potential, but it turned out to be watchable if uneven and somewhat of a mixed bag. Thankfully, this was something that 'Alien Code' did not do. Was a little worried at the same time, having seen so many films that waste great potential so badly. What drew me in was that it had one of the most interesting ideas for any low-budget film seen recently and it didn't look too bad from the advertising. Saw 'Alien Code' with no knowledge of what the rating and reviews were prior to watching.
