Not awesome, but good.

In general the movie is good: it has an interesting plot, a well-done photography and amazing special effects.
What I really appreciate is the physiognomy of the aliens. If they had been represented as lovely creatures, the audience would have immediately take their side. But as they where portrayed as a sort of big and abhorring bug, it is more difficult for the viewers to start liking them. This will only happen when the audience realizes that men are cruel exploiters, while aliens - even if they seems to be the bad invaders - are the innocent victims.
But it also has some defects. For example, I didn't like the very first part of the movie for two reasons. First, I think the actions develop too quickly: aliens arrive, they're segregated and men decide to transfer them somewhere else, all in about 4-5 minutes. Second, I find the documentary technique a bit confusing.
There are some scenes that I consider useless. For example when Wikus cut off his finger: first, he knows that that wouldn't solve his situation; second, there are no more references to that actions after that. Or when he slap really strongly Christopher because he said it would take him 3 years to cure him. It happens and no consequences arise.
I also find the theme of men vs. aliens not originally developed and moreover the film's ending was a foregone.
All thing considered, the movie is worth-seeing but I cannot say that I'm surely going to see it again in the future.
