Absolutely not a typical Sci-Fi flick. For me, totally disappointing.

Rating: 2/10 (16 April 2010)

With the high ratings here on IMDb I thought that this film was a shoe-in. How wrong that expectation turned out to be. The film is more of a sociology study about 2 incompatible societies. The aliens are gross, but in a pathetic sorta way. I guess that that was the intent. The way the plot starts out is just stupid. I'm sure I'll get thousands of "unhelpful" votes for this review, but this movie, for me, was quite the disappointment. The fanboi base must be voting this film up BIG TIME. Take the blacks under apartheid in South Africa and substitute funky aliens and you get this film. I gotta admit that the look of the aliens was well done. The portrayal of the human response to the aliens just was not well done at all. It is the absolute antithesis of how it would be done in a big budget film. The portrayal is amateurish. Humans probably would have the general mindset shown. Again, how the script portrayed the human response was bush league ... and the acting was as good as the script.
