I really liked the movie. It was very different from the conventional alien flick. Evil humans. Aliens you sympathize with. It was a nice change of pace. Its fun to root for the underdog, all the more when the underdog is very different. I wanted Christopher to succeed, saving his kid and making it off planet to save his race, all the while hoping that the bald soldier gets what's coming for him, and he did. Regarding that, the violence was slightly over the top. People getting vaporized with lightning guns and heads getting blown up with tazers was fun and all, but it made me question the aliens. If Christopher does come back, he's gonna be pissed, and he'll want to kill us all, especially what he saw in that EMU lab. Hopefully he'll be merciful, maybe enslaving us instead of killing us. I'd give the movie a 4.5/5, the only reason it not being perfect is the overuse of swearing, it impairs the otherwise well written script. Here's to hoping the sequal is better, and that it comes out sometime soon. Until then, i have plenty of silly alien movies to watch, like war of the worlds and Paul. Let's hope i can get a laugh out of those instead of thinking i've been wasting my time.
