Awww Baby Bug Alien

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2010)

When I first heard about this film I was interested. Later a bunch of people I knew saw it and some said it was too gory and the story was stupid. Well I finally decided to watch it for myself and I really liked it. First off I will mention the gore. Yes there is some, but not even close to over the top. I have seen war movies with more gore. The only reason they show gore is from the effect of the alien weapons which is great. It is meant to scare you. The story was not bad at all. An alien race is stuck by Earth and the people of Earth try to get the aliens their own area to live in, but after awhile treat them like a lower class. It takes one human to realize that the aliens have feeling like anyone else. The human is played by Sharlto Copley who did a fantastic job in his role. He was so into his character, I couldn't stop watching. The CG in the film was not too bad. For they were CGing aliens and not humans. When you CG humans, it looks to fake. Since these aliens were more original, it was easier to believe they were alive. The weird thing though is that the aliens were mostly like giant bugs. At first it seems a little strange, but you get use to it. Now if the movie needed something for the ladies, how about a baby alien. Yes that is right. A little alien that makes you go awwww. So overall this was a pretty entertaining movie with some suspense added in. I will admit that the ending was a little off, but it was not horrible. I guess you are looking for more of a intense ending. There is tons of intensity leading up to it though.
