this amazing movie will tank at the box office

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2009)

THIS IS ONE OF THE TOP FIVE SCIENCE FICTION MOVIES EVER MADE. Unfortunately, I don't think people are going to want to go see a movie where it's the humans that are the bad guys. These aliens don't invade, except in the way Cubans invade Florida when they try to escape Cuba: barely alive, hungry and dehydrated.
This is a movie about racism, class-ism, corporate greed, governmental stupidity, and the lowly preying upon the lowlier, but it is also about hope, love, and redemption. It has much to say about the absurdness with which we underestimate one another, and the way a few greedy bastards ruin it for all. Manipulation of everyone for personal gain is the rule, and that is accurate in our world today. In that respect, this movie is non fiction.
But as I said, no one wants to go to the movies to see the truth. Even it is as well made and compelling as this one is.
