It's so deliciously shocking

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2009)

I like the combination of drama and science fiction in the story, very similar to what we see in a film like Blade Runner; It has touching moments like E.T. but without it being corny; nothing against the Yanks, but it's a breath of fresh air it not having anything to do with the United States.
I agree it has elements of a lot of other action films, what makes this one different is that it involves so many elements of our own human history: the scene where they first find the non-humans is like when nowadays they discover a cargo of refugees or illegal immigrants; the experiments the do to them is similar to what was done to Jews or Chinese during WWII; the official and social treatment given to them like as if they were cattle, pretty much the way so many "civilizations" have given to unwanted minorities, (or in South Africa's experience majorities). Add up the media manipulation pushed by greedy interests of the war industry conglomerates. Issues others fail to bring up and place in the spotlight.
It's so deliciously shocking, what's not to like about it? Unless of course, it makes your subconscious feel uncomfortable. Then again, it's achieving its purpose.
Gave this movie a 10, because I can see it's generated a lot of hate voters.
