Powerful and moving

Rating: 9/10 (29 February 2012)

The first time i watched this movie i didn't like it, but this was because i went in expecting a simple action sci-fi movie.... The second time I watched it I payed more attention to the story AND IT BLEW ME AWAY!!!!
The characters were written amazingly well and helped you immerse yourself in the story.... The movie made me despise the "prawns" at the beginning but then made me sympathize with them the further into the movie I got, but it's not forced sympathy and that's the beauty of it. The writing is top notch and you genuinely care for the main characters. I could go on for ever about the characters, but there is more to the movie than just that... The special effects and CGI were amazing, the aliens were near on perfectly modeled and the action scenes showed off some outstanding visual effects.
This movie is not a Terminator- type action film, it has a deeper meaning and an awesome story. I have no problem recommending this movie to anyone, just don't expect something simple
