Not anywhere as good as I expected

Rating: 3/10 (15 August 2009)

I was very disappointed. While I have to agree with others who said the CGI was great, and I thought the plot was OK...the filming of the story was sub par. It was like a bad version of the Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield. There was not any sort of smooth transition between the sequences that were supposed to be government recorded and those that were just supposed to be plot...which I found disconcerting. If the entire film was supposedly be from secret tapes made during the occurrence, the film included sequences that could not have been recorded by these secret tapes. I thought the ending left us hanging, as I found no hint that the Alien would indeed come back, or fix our the Wikus, or what would happen when the did.
