Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2009)

I loved this movie and thought it was one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. I am probably going to see it again in the theater because the cgi parts are amazing. People that dislike this movie seem to only be able to cite a few supposedly unrealistic parts of the movie which honestly aliens aren't going to act exactly how you want them too. Leave something to the imagination critics of the movie. It tells the story like a documentary and that is done amazingly without camera shaking and it flows so well that I don't even notice when it changes to black and white during certain scenes. This movie is to alien movies what Saving Private Ryan is to war movies. I saw the reviews on here and I usually trust them because after a sample group of thousands of people you get a general idea of how good a movie is but it had a 9. That was really high so I decided to see it over other current movies. I just can't believe how good it was. I love the feeling of being super happy and adrenaline pumping because the movie had you genuinely surprised, and worried about the characters in it. The main actor does an amazing job of changing personalities throughout. I will definitely have to find more movies from this director and that actor. I really hope a lot of people go to this so they make a sequel. What a reward for my $8. I would have paid $20.
