great film in the Sci fi Genre

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2019)

4.5 out of 5- South Africa-
Sci Fi are rarely this great.
Reading the 1 star ratings- I can't say I agree- it is a sci fi- which is fantasy fiction- Dr. Who time travels- while I am not a fan of Zombie films except George Romero; or Dracula; or one of greatest Frankenstein & it's variation including Bride of F. . what about the picture of Dorian Grey (the book was better than any film made) all Fantasy & invention - so one has to accept the premise-of an Alien race internment camps in S. Africa.
sure it's a play on racism, hating, controlling the immigrant, underdog, outsider. Of course we've seen this among ppl of the same color within nations. sure it is an old theme,
But this is a truly original Sci fiction movie- entertaining on many levels, just for the stry telling and visuals. Including the script, directing, as well as the creativity of the visuals. Excellent lead. that his own wife is unreasonable, sure.
as an aside, the follow-up Chappies, was a great disappointment- barely 3 out of 10 stars. I hope these filmmakers (writer director) try again.
it says the budget was $30million, so not low budget- there was a lot of FX, special effects. probably a lot of pre- and post production. the Aliens, bug like, had a lot of personality.
