Unbelievably lifelike aliens set in an urban hell

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2009)

Unbelievably lifelike aliens set in an urban hell that is all too believable. Exciting, menacing storyline that grabs you at the beginning and never lets go. If that's not enough, add in ruthless social commentary. Television news feeds and interviews are interspersed with terrifying realities on the ground, yielding an added juxtaposition of realities that adds to the feeling of lack of control. This movie is destined to become a cult classic which touches all the big issues of the human race, both psychological and social. Don't miss it on the big screen. Hurray for Peter Jackson for making sure this movie gained the attention it deserves.
