This movie deserves its praise

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2010)

I recently bought this movie on Blu-ray sight unseen and I am so glad I made the purchase. The faux-documentary style was a bit off-putting at first but upon reflection I think it works very very well. It is a great story that is well acted.
The CGI in the movie is incredible. The "prawns" (the derogatory name used by humans to refer to the aliens) look like they are real. Visually they are not attractive and their behaviour (by human standards) is gross, but by about half way into the movie I found myself starting to empathize with them.
This movie will captivate your attention and stir emotions in you that you would not expect possible.
