With a low budget, badly designed props and alien costumes, and a lack of day / night continuity throughout the film, Alien vs Ninja is not for anyone looking for a stylish, all action martial arts film.
If however you are looking for a possible "cult" film, then this is certainly a contender. With its tongue-in-cheek action sequences, the clear sexualisation of the female ninja, and the incredibly bad alien costumes, this has all the makings of a cult classic.
But for those of you who prefer "proper" martial arts films, our advise would be to stay clear of this film, as far as you possibly can.
