I guess opinions make it interesting!

I was very excited about this movie after seeing the trailers. One thing I didn't agree with was the fact that they showed the prawns (Aliens) during the commercials. That tactic in movie cinema is hardly ever done. They usually have you anticipate how the creature will look. Anyway, as the movie goes it really wasn't my kind of movie. The first 30-40 minutes was documentary style to give the movie a real feel but for me it really didn't do it as it just really bored me. Minutes later it goes to a more movie style play and even thou I still found myself falling asleep and really not enjoying this movie. Yes it was really original it wasn't your typical remake junk it was a good story but for me it just didn't keep me interested long enough to enjoy it. I was with my 6 year old and understandable yes he is 6 but his exact words after the credits were "dad this was boring" I feel the commercial showed way to much and really the movie itself just dragged at many points. The CGI was great, the look of the PRAWNS was unique being the fact that they didn't use the basic big headed big eyes aliens. Knowing this, this is a movie I wont want to sit thru a second time or even bother to buy on DVD. Original YES.... Summer blockbuster NO!!!
