An overrated, disgusting, repetitive, stupid, and boring film

Rating: 1/10 (19 August 2009)

I've officially given up on mankind. If so many people like crap like this, then the earth might not exist in 10 years. The movie is essentially telling the true story of people locked up if they ar blacks in Johannesburg as aliens. Although, in the film, they are literally aliens. It's a boring film that falls into people's body's splitting open, and overlong gun shoot outs too frequently. It's really a boring movie, and also very stupid. People are raving about how the aliens are fully developed- I didn't find them even close to developed. Everyone's also talking about the great twist at the end-there is no great twist- just an obvious ending. Everyone's talking about how it's a late, great summer action-sci-fi-thriller, I just found it boring. It's not thrilling, it's not action packed, and the special effects are just plain awful. The main character is Wikus Van De Merwe (Sharlto Copley), a jerk who locks up the aliens who deservedly gets accused of doing sexual things to the aliens. Overall, it's a god-awful film, an overrated piece of complete crap that never reaches, nor shows its full potential.
