Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 2009)

First of all, believe the hype. Its all true. This films is one of the best films I have ever seen. A masterful mix of emotions and styles, blending comedy, sci-fi and action together in such a seamless manner. I didn't really know what to expect before seeing this film, only that it was set in South Africa and had something to do with aliens. I came away shocked by what I had just seen and just hoping to god that they will make some kind of sequel because I need to know more. The characters are brilliantly acted. The special effects suit the movie perfectly without ever trying to take over from the story telling. Please please please can we have more movies like this and less of the god awful Hollywood blockbusters such as Transformers. This film proves that it is possible to make a good special effects laden movie where the story shines through. Well done to all involved and thank you for a truly magical cinema experience.
