The Crazies

“The Crazies”

Greetings fellow Earth Movie Travelers,

~~If this is your first time reading a Movie Alien travel blog entry, please visit the “About Movie Alien” page to learn more about the purpose of these transmissions.

On my most recent Earth Movie vacation I journeyed to an idyllic small town that would have been just at home in Middle America. It was a nice place. All the folks in town new each other by name. The town baseball team’s first game signaled the start of spring. And the Sheriff of the town is a sound, honest man who is married to the town doctor.

I thought this would be a great way to spend some time off Earth with my Human Host; peaceful, relaxing, low-stress, normal... but then people started to go crazy. Then the journey got chaotic – but since I had booked an Earth Movie travel vessel with the name “The Crazies” it was what I had expected. I found myself under attack from a mysterious biological force that turned everyday, normal people into violent lunatics. It starts off with just one guy with a shotgun wandering out on to the baseball field during the big game and escalates into absolute mayhem.

The trouble for me with this Earth Movie experience is that often I felt like I was just being taken on a tour of the maddening without ever really seeing the chaos descend. One minute the town seemed fine. The next minute, after a confrontation with a crazy, everything has changed with little explanation or surprise from those who are not infected. But I didn’t package the Earth Movie, so maybe Alien Travelers who enjoy a little less story and a lot of thriller maneuvers will enjoy this subconscious experience more than I did.

I’ve been to plenty of zombie infected planets; once a world is infected it’s nearly impossible to get rid of all of those reanimated dead. This peaceful little town in a normal Earth-like world feels like it can be compared to those much more terrifying zombie worlds once things really started getting crazy. As an Alien Traveler visiting “The Crazies”, it did have worthy moments of escape that made the Travel Journey worth a 50% rating.

Take care and safe travels,

"Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant"

“Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant”

Greetings fellow Earth Movie Travelers!

~~If this is your first time reading a Movie Alien travel blog entry, please visit the “About Movie Alien” page to learn more about the purpose of these transmissions.

There is a fascinating corner of the known universe that comprises of two major galaxies with habitable (and travel-able) solar systems that have populations of vampires. Your Human Host might be wondering – Alien Travelers don’t have to worry about vampires? Do they?

Well, the idea of vampirism is not unique to planets of Human origin. In fact, there are many sentient beings that fear or desire what vampirism brings to their communities and their culture.

There are two major types of vampire tourism originating from Earth Movies – those that inspire fear and those that inspire desire. In recent years you may have noticed a tremendous amount of travel opportunities to the “Twilight” system which in turn inspired similar travel destinations. Even Earth Movies with worlds that fear having a predator more powerful than Aliens or Human have surged in recent years.

Then there is the occasional fringe planet in this Vampire-based corner of the galaxy that represents neither. That is where the journey “Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant” took me and my Human Host. The one refreshing attraction of the journey, the Circus of Freaks, was merely a backdrop to the melodrama of a just plain silly mix of Vampires that were neither frightening nor fascinating.

By the end of the journey I had to will my Human Host to not fall asleep. I give this one a 25% rating and must warn fellow Alien Travelers that an active subconscious in your Human Host will certainly cause this ride to be uncomfortable.

Take care and safe travels,

Shutter Island

“Shutter Island”

Greetings fellow Earth Movie Travelers,

~~If this is your first time reading a Movie Alien travel blog entry, please visit the “About Movie Alien” page to learn more about the purpose of these transmissions.

“Shutter Island” is a brand new voyage embarking from your Human Host’s local theatre this weekend. I just returned from an enjoyable experience with this sturdy, well crafted vehicle as it compelled travelers to examine the nature of the conscious psyche and its fragility when placed next to trauma or stressful memories.

Out of all the mysteries we share in this complex dimension that we all call home, none is more puzzling than our ability to relate to self-awareness. For most, the “self” is always a work in progress and the joy of life is found in what we personally find meaning in. The process of creating meaning is a personal experience for everyone with a mind.

But sometimes we visit conscious beings who have lost touch with their realities and their sense of “self” to understand how fragile our own lives can be without love, family and friends.

The voyage to “Shutter Island” is shared with Teddy Daniels. Teddy has traveled through his home solar system to a remote planetoid known as “Shutter Island” on official police business. “Shutter Island” is a place for the criminally insane and resembles a fifties era Earth. A prisoner/patient has escaped and it is Teddy’s responsibility to discover what happened to her. It is the start of the technology revolution and like Earth, the world here has unlocked the secrets of the atomic bomb. Paranoia is commonplace and psychiatrics is an evolving field of study.

But after spending a short time with Teddy Daniels on his journey, it becomes obvious that the he has ulterior motives on the desolate island. His past is linked to the place. But to tell you more about where I saw Teddy go would only take away from your own experience with “Shutter Island”. This is a cerebral thrill ride for Alien Travelers.

Overall, I would rate my voyage at 75% and be prepared to find out what lurks in the minds of men. Just don’t try to over think and enjoy the voyage.

Hunger

“Hunger”

Greetings fellow Alien Travelers,

~~If this is your first time reading a Movie Alien travel blog, please visit the About Page to learn more about what this is about.

The beauty of the Earth Movie Travel experience is that they allow Alien Travelers and their Human Hosts near limitless choices in their travel destinations. Of course, the more challenging places to visit in this dimension are often the ones that find the least available Human Hosts willing to travel there.

Such is the case in “Hunger”.

“Hunger” takes you to a time and place in a galaxy that closely resembles factual events on Earth. This intense and personal dramatic travel journey is vivid, shocking, and morally uncompromising in its temporal pattern of showing an act of defiance by a rebellious force contesting their rights to civic galactic liberties in the face of a pluralistic regime. If your Human Host is conscious during your travel, they will be witness to a period of recent Earth History known as the Irish Republican Army Hunger Strike.

It is an easier journey for your Human Host to make when the adventure you subject their subconscious to takes a more obvious moral path to a universal concept like right and wrong, especially when you are traveling to a prison planet.

But in “Hunger”, the two forces at war equally believe they are representing the actions that best represent their cause. Orders are carried out and the results are shocking and realistic. The tone of the travel experience does not cross in to preach or moral outrage or even indignation. The moral compass is simply provided as an elegantly personal moment between a political leader and a priest debating the spiritual nature of the political leader's decision to enact an uncompromising hunger strike.

Everything is barbaric. And no one seems to be willing to secede to the either moral authority – and by authority, I simply mean the intergalactic paradigm of treat others how you wish to be treated. If you starve the body, sure the fissures can be sealed and amended. But if you starve the soul, then you only deprive yourself.

A very powerful travel experience and I would rate it at 90%. But I would recommend it to Alien Travelers who can subject their Human Host’s subconscious to the powerful forces at work that drove the inhabitants of this lonely, prison planet to be forced into this situation. You will arrive safely back at home, but the emotions elicited from this journey might stay with you for a while.

The Wolfman

“The Wolfman”

Greetings fellow Alien Travelers!

~~If this is your first time reading a Movie Alien travel blog, please visit the About Page to learn more about what this is about.

I just returned from my journey on the Earth Movie “The Wolfman”!

The region of space that this particular Earth Movie takes you to is known as the Monster Movie galaxy. In fact, this particular incarnation, “The Wolfman” is directly inspired by one of the original pioneers to this Galaxy, billed as the “The Wolf Man” and set sail in 1941.

While my Human Host wasn’t even incubated in 1941, he has also not had the opportunity to revisit the original wolf man journey. But it is famous so I convinced his subconscious to give this one a try.

Earth Movie Travel Technology has come a long way since Earth circa 1941, so now when the monster attacks we get to experience the up close effects of spilled organs and severed limbs. This monster is a viscous one! The first time I got close to the beast I was rewarded with a rich, visceral experience of how powerful this creature is.

But what does not help this journey ultimately succeed for me as an Alien Traveler is the unavoidable pit-stop in the Romance Quadrant of space known as the Love Interest. The beast we hunt is savage but can a beautiful creature of diametrically opposite intentions to the creature’s savage ways really satiate the animalistic killer’s lust for even the briefest of moments? Ummm… Not so convincing on this trip.

“The Wolfman” also provides a step back in time to a Victorian Planet. I have been on journeys that seemed like a far better excursion to this type of planet, but I did enjoy the effort the Earth Movie made in making it feel like a home, instead of just a stay at a Intergalactic Bed and Breakfast.

If you are considering traveling to “The Wolfman”, I would advise that you use a Human Host who enjoys camping. If you don’t, the campiness factor of this Travel Experience might leave you disorientated and confused since I don’t think the creators of this journey ever intended for you to stay out in the woods and laugh at the monster they invite you to hunt.

Overall – I give this ship a somewhat rocky 55% rating. It might fail you when you reach the end of the journey.

Take care and safe travels,
