Men In Black: Alien Attack Review (4/5)


Remember the Men In Black movies? Well, you should: Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith provided dead-on adaptations of Agents J & K in two superb comic-based efforts focusing on alien interventions, memories and mysteries, while maintaining humour between the two protagonists and also a likeable bunch of intergalactic beings. Smith returns for this laser-shooter ride, Men In Black: Alien Attack at Universal Studios Florida, where riders are challenged with becoming MIB aliens by shooting cosmic targets and racking up high scores, then gaining an Agent Ranking at the end. There's little to no tale to follow here, but the way the carraige thrusts you around, sometimes even rotating continuously in full circles for ambushes, is an exciting addition to an essentially more adult Buzz-Lightyear shooting range attraction. The corridors leading to the vehicles are futuristic and as with the rest of Universal maintain their themes realistically- the standard of detail in every ride at both parks is phenomenal and deserves to be seen by all. Overall, while it's still a bit static as a ride experience, Alien Attack is fun to go on and has a good queue to boot. If you ever saw the movies, this is an absolute must.
