Original and thought provoking

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2016)

I love a movie that keeps me guessing and this one did. The way they introduced the characters and aliens was suspenseful and interesting. I saw this in the theater for the special effects and they did not disappoint. Not only were they beautiful, they were integral to the plot. I've seen a few movies recently that felt the special effects WERE the story so it's refreshing to see a movie that used the special effects to enhance the story. They were also original and fascinating.
I liked how the main character was treated by the military, it seemed authentic that she wasn't given any information. I felt like I was right there with her. In fact, I think I held my breath for the last hour of this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
