This comment might have a tiny bit of spoilers...
First off this movie is pretty incredible. It is a sci-fi movie, but at the same time its sort of a mockumentary with documentary parts to it, but most of the film is in normal present time...footage..
The movie is very fast paced and intense..there really aren't really any "slow" moments in the movie, there isn't a whole lot of character development I guess you could say, but for this film I don't think it was really necessary.
I'll tell you what this film isn't though, because I think the trailers were a little misleading...the movie isn't about a huge alien revolt where all the aliens fight back and rebel against the humans. The trailers also make you think that the humans are just evil people doing horrible things to the aliens and so forth which is kinda true but not completely true..The humans do have greedy and bad intentions for the aliens, wanting to harness their technology and weaponry and what not, but in the film there isn't a huge focus on the humans mistreating the aliens...its not like what you would see in a film about the Holocaust or something like that.
Since the film dosen't use any Hollywood big shots it feels very realistic..the CGI effects are fantastic and the aliens are very realistic and the interaction with them and the human characters is very convincing and well done..
This movie isn't for everybody though. Like I said it is pretty intense and there is a good amount of gore in and painful to watch imagery...
I wouldn't say the movie is absolutely PERFECT so I didn't give it a full 10 starts but it is pretty damn good.
