Summary - Perfect 5.0

Sci-Fi really isn’t my thing, but when I heard so many great things about this movie, I thought I’d give it a shot. What a perfect movie. This isn’t your average sci-fi shoot-em-up, omg-alien thing. Something about it really pulls you in and engages you in the story. I watched this on a car ride, and halfway through the movie, we stopped to get food. Very rarely has a movie made me really want to just get back to it and finish it. When I did finish it, I was very suprised about how the ending turned out, and it left me with my jaw hanging open.

Acting - Perfect 5.0

Absoutely perfect. Nothing more needs to be said.

Film - Really Great 4.5

The style of the film was very interesting- it starts out s a documentary, then turns into a traditional film. Something else I must mention is how the aliens looked very realistic. The motion-capture technology really worked out for this film.

Edge - Sordid 2.9

Very violent and some references to “inter-species” sex.

Reality - Fantasy 5.0

Very unrealistic, although someone not knowing aliens don’t exist may mistake this film for a real documentary.
