Not what I expected

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2012)

I thought this was the best film of 2009 but I didn't like it.
I liked the premise, the idea of another intelligent species living on earth is just excellent. The acting was not anything huge or over the top but it was the most realistic acting I have seen in a while.
The story is where it failed it began so interesting I thought it would be a awesome movie but then it fell into the clichés that other alien movies end up doing. I hated the end of this movie because I felt like there was something missing I felt like it needed to go on but thats OK.
I liked the idea of an alien that was a single father that was something I have never seen and probably will never see. It made the aliens more relatable to humans and in the end the aliens were the only interesting characters I wish they would have followed the aliens more not the government agent.
And I would like to have seen more of why there was racism.
