Wow, just had to watch it again.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked this up. I just knew it was a science fiction movie and as a bit of a science nerd I decided to pop it in for a watch. At this point I've seen a lot of movies, but this one was just amazing. The score is honestly gorgeous, the direction is great, the cinematography is also great. It's actually quite calm for a movie about aliens landing on earth which was again, pleasantly surprising.
My love for exobiology was big factor in why I loved the Alien design. They seem to be inspired by the aliens from The War Of The Worlds Novel (not any of the movie adaptation aliens) but I don't know for sure.
Of course I couldn't make a review without mentioning the best part; The plot twist. Obviously I won't spoil it as this is a non-spoiler review.
It's been so long since I watched a movie where the plot twist was less about shocking the audience and more story based in it's execution. It felt smart but certainly was still a really cool surprise.
