Movie Connections:

Follows "ALF" (1986)

Alf in his own TV movie.

What's cool about this movie is we get to see what happens to Alf after he was capture by the Alien Task Force.

He's been imprisoned by the Military for over 5 years. He's gone through a lot of Doctors and tests. Besides those he's living it easy with the best jail cell that even he would live in.

But when the plans for him to be eliminated have been ordered that's when 2 young military cadets made a plan to save his life.

It's different from the TV series, and the Tanners are absent in this one. but you'll learn what had happened to them when you watch it. Which is one of the reasons why most fans hate it. But at least Alf is in it which counts and still worth seeing.

There's still plenty of laughs, Alf is still a smart mouth Melmacian, and still has an appetite for cats. It even ends in a good yet funny ending for our furry idol.

I rank this movie 8/10.
