Absolute toilet

Rating: 1/10 (3 June 2011)

I watch a real variety of films and enjoy most of them, for all sorts of different reasons. This is not one of them.
This is a dreadful film. I have just signed up in order that I may counterbalance in some small way the rave reviews given elsewhere. I can only think the director has some very kind friends.
It is hard to know where the director thought the film was going.
Putting aside the irritating south African accent the first half hour is filmed on a hand held camera presumably to give dramatic effect that cant be found in either the incoherent script or the acting
Having read some other reviews, any attempts to justify the screenplay by supposing some semblance with ghetto areas in south Africa or elsewhere beggars belief. Maybe they were going for a comedy. Aliens that love to eat cat food - that has got to be funny
The worst point is the end, where they unapologetically leave the 'plot' open to a sequel. Please don't.
