When I first saw the commercial for the SciFi Original Movie, Alien Express, I was intrigued by how they were going to write aliens onto a train.  Did the aliens attack the train?  Was the train carrying an alien egg or something and it hatch?  How in the world, err, universe, did an alien get on a train?

Alright, so, I'm OK with it.  A car waiting at a railroad crossing gets hit by a large meteorite when the train was approaching.  The train screeches to a fast halt to help.  As often happens with meteorites which turns out to be an alien egg, it hatches.  The baby alien goes to hide in the train eating a conductor on the way.  Baby aliens come out of eggs with full spiky teeth and an appetite and pregnant.

This alien is one bad dude, err, gal.  A hyperactive, super-fast, cloaking alien that spits green pasty acid and has a nervous disorder and bad disposition is on a presidential campaign train eating everyone, starting with the presidential candidate.  The alien was born pregnant and laid eggs within the dead bodies, so now there is the mother and 3 babies to contend with.

The alien eats the conductors on this high-speed train and the safety "dead man's switch" doesn't engage, so it's running along the same track at 75 miles an hour with a freight train ahead going 35.  Not only do you have 4 mean, hungry aliens, but you have a runaway train with 58 minutes left

Oops.  More eggs, more baby aliens.  Oh and more bad news.  ("Gina, I think you've used up all your bad news for the day.")  The freight train ahead is hauling nuclear waste!!  I had to laugh out loud.  Oops, more eggs hatching.  Makes for a really rough day fighting something that is born pregnant and has a 5 minute gestation period.

The tide turns when they realize the aliens have methane blood, which is flammable.

As I've said before, SciFi does some really lousy "SciFi Original Movies" IF you expect them to be serious.  While some of them are pretty good movies, with a noticeable lack of budget, some of them are just bad.  The special effects in this movie are along the lines of the original Godzilla movie and the plot is half really bad, and half almost satirical.

While I expected to see the little hint at the last scene that everything isn't over, I didn't expect to see another half-dozen meteors heading to earth.

Sad.  Really Sad.  See it with popcorn and tequila wouldn't hurt.
