Interesting

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2010)

This movie has a highly realistic take on a "what if" aliens were stranded on earth idea. Although you can certainly find flaws if your looking for them, overall the film is trying to look realistic as if it has already taken place ie: a documentary.
I'm usually drawn to alien phenomenon in films because I can experience something I wouldn't otherwise on earth, easily. In other words I watch a lot of action and sci fi movies, I still find these kind of movies realistic just more exciting. With that being said, I knew nothing of this movie before watching it except that it had aliens living on earth and was begging intense action seeing as Peter Jackson was involved.
After watching this interesting movie I felt pretty weird. The beginning does take quite awhile to get to the main plot, however the foreshadowing is brilliant. The characters emotion is very powerful and can really shift your feelings about them. The movie really makes you think and ask yourself questions. So why isn't this movie a 10/10? Well, it left me desiring one thing and given the plot and characters I was quite in awe with how very little action is in this movie. The most action you will see is around the climax and it felt very vague. The movie was practically begging a Sci Fi thriller but instead its a Sci Fi Drama, which is not a bad thing.
