could have gone deeper

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2009)

I liked the feeling they went for when trying to shot it as a documentary/different news feeds. And to make it all believable which I personally think that the director managed to do, making us believe that this actually happened. I liked the idea that for once the aliens could find another part of this wide world instead of the U.S which every alien seams to land in for some unexplainable reason. (U.S.A has the 3rd largest landmass, Russia and Canada is in 1st and 2nd place. And not to mention, China is about 34.460km2 smaller. Part from these 4 we have about 190 more countries, so our planet isn't small at all). Anyway to move on with my review before it sound like Im jumping on the states. I did find the scenes to be very well done, same goes for the CG's. However! They could have included more information in the beginning, as of now it felt rushed through and could have easily been 15-20 min longer (I know that other feels that way too). All in all, characters where well preformed, scenes nicely done, plot was done with great precision that too, showing how power and greed corrupts people. Even how it was forbidden for the aliens to even posses their own technology, and humans tried to R&D them, weapons lead to power, power leads to money, money leads greed. According to me they did manage to make the movie all believable and true in its own way. One final note! After seeing the movie it feels like a prelude to a sequel.
