Worth the time to see it

I was flipping through the channels to find something to watch until another show started, and ended up watching the whole second half of this film as it was so clever and different. I love SF of all kinds, even the really bad stuff, but this was so quirky and fun! There are so many oddball twists that kept it interesting. It's not heavy duty or intellectual in any way, but if you're looking for a fun SF flick to kill a Saturday afternoon, I'd say this would be a good choice for you.

Intelligent Comedy....

This movie has a lot of great references to past and future movies( e.g. Mars Attacks! which came a year after it.)

But one of my favorites is the "Don Polson" character, which so hilariously captures Jean Paul Sartre, that I was puzzled by the name ,until I said to my wife "I don't see why Jean Paul Sartre character is named Don Paulson!" .

Devious minds...

Out-rageously funny

Out There, with its star studded cast, was a fresh relief from the boring old "Alien with Tentacles" and "Alien with Ray Gun" movies of lately. Independence Day, Alien, Predator, Species.... even Mars Attacks, all have aliens who try to annihilate the Humans. Here, the aliens are trying to... well, CHEAT us, through the Universe Marketing Consortium, by making us join them.

Outrageously funny, outrageously..... Out There.

Computer lingo adds to movie

This is a good popcorn movie for lighthearted viewing and entertainment. The reason I give this movie an above average score is due to the use of computer lingo within the script. That may seem like a silly reason at first, but the movie was made in 1994? and released in 1995, so the terminology was state of the art (sort of) for the time, and still better then some of the big name rubbish still being produced.

Imaginative, fun, sleeper of a movie.

An interesting, fun take on the whole alien invasion scenario. A bit corny, and the acting is a little loose at times, but that was the point. It was obvious the cast enjoyed making it. The theme and flavor are somewhat reminiscent of, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World" (+or- a, 'mad'). No surprise it's not well known, but it is a cut above most Amazon or Netflix Sci-Fi offerings. Nice seeing some senior actors from earlier Hollywood playing rolls out of their normal range. I enjoyed it and would watch it again with a friend.

Trivia
During the filming, leading man Bill Campbell was, in real-life, dating actress Jennifer Connelly, his co-star in "The Rocketeer." Jennifer visited the set on several occasions and, for fun, agreed to appear as an extra in the grocery store scene. She and the film's director, Sam Irvin, play a couple in the grocery line in front of Bill Campbell.
