Instant cult classic for scifi geeks!

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2009)

I don't often write reviews, but this movie blew me away and perplexed me. It does of course follow certain movie-making traditions, scifi conventions, and even some pretty classic action movie type sequences... but this movie has something extra and something special. It's hard to put my finger on it exactly, but I guess in a way the characters, the plot and even the aliens, they're all so absurdly human and somehow completely believable.
I'm a huge scifi geek, so I reckon most non-geeks probably won't "get" this movie, but for me, personally, it feels like an instant cult classic. Nice to see a hyped movie that lives up once in a while!
