Editorial Review:
The truth has been kept hidden… Groom Lake, Nevada. Deep in the desert, near the infamous Area 51 military base, Commander Gossner (William Shatner) has been conducting top secret missions involving extra-terrestrials. After the government tries to shut him down, and his alien test subject is kidnapped, the Commander resorts to desperate measures.
Also includes a new, exclusive Groom Lake interview with William Shatner!
Groom Lake Reviews:
far better than to be expected 
2009-02-03 - Mr. Shatner produces, directs and stars in this b-grade sci fi story that frankly is better than one might expect. Yes, b-grade, but Shatner brings his sense of fun and adventure to this 'area 51' alien story. Is he a good guy or a bad guy or simply a guy with his own agenda? You have to watch it, but here's my opinion....
I was told by some that this film was not very good. I beg to differ. If judged as a b-grade sci fi it was more than good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not since Trek has Shatner done sci fi in such a gut-level fun way. And yes, I saw the pretrek Incubus when it was released, and Groom Lake is far better a watch in my opinion, not to mention it's in English.
Groom Lake is a Saturday afternoon in an archair with popcorn and soda.
Go rent it! 
2007-11-26 - I found this "gem" to be highly entertaining. Sure, it is not the best movie, but if you are a Shatner fan you've got to see it. The gospel singer is especially good, though it was a shame that most of her scenes were cut.
Explode movie with hydrogen bomb! 
2006-03-08 - I agree with some of the other customers. This movie was absolutely theee worst!! The acting was bad, the script was bad,
the whole plot was bad!! But you know what? I'm gonna buy it!
The reason is it was filmed in our home town in Arizona and my
son got to be in the movie! He was the one who saved the alien from the evil man's clutches and freed the alien off of the tow truck where he was imprisoned. So in a sense, my boy was the hero of the movie! So that's why I'm buying this classic! Maybe some day my boy will make it big and someday say "remember when....?".
shoot this movie to the stars
2003-08-11 - Absolutely the worst sci-fi movie ever made. The filming is much to close up and more suited to x-rated movies. Script, acting and directing aren't much better and the special effects (or the lack of it) are very low-budget. Don't buy or even rent this. See "Communion", "Roswell", "Fire in the Sky" or "Intruders" for some serious UFO stuff.
A Fun Story
2003-03-18 - A couple seeking the truth about alien visitors, the commander of a secret military base at Groom Lake trying to complete one last project, and assorted UFO fanatics demonstrating dubious sanity all collide in a movie that may not win very many oscars, but is thoroughly enjoyable.
