Character mistake: Kathy Ireland as Wanda speaks mostly in a slightly squeaky voice. But in one scene she uses her own regular voice.

7.4/10.Possibly the 2nd best movie Kathy Ireland did with her as the lead, the other being Miami Hustle.I completely understand why some people wouldn't like it.A model trying to look nerdy doing Jules Verne's Journey To The Center Of The Earth.Sure it's hokey with Kathy Ireland acting silly and Thom Mathews, of Friday the 13th Part 6:Jason Lives, matching her with hokey machismo.Yet I find something charming about this B movie that made me intrigued enough to buy it on DVD and watch.I can't explain it other than to say it has a cute, harmless charm about it.I would say it's not meant to be taken seriously, like other movies such as Santa With Muscles aren't. If you like serious science fiction like Predator or Alien that's fine.But if you like those as well as movies like Alien From L.A, that's fine too.It's all about personal opinion and taste.I would rather watch Alien From L.A. over some mindless artsy drivel like The Shape Of Water, far more entertaining.
