Good movie but.

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2009)

This movie had great reviews so i couldn't wait to see it. After 10 minutes i was ready to walk out. The movie starts out like a cheap documentary shot by people that learned their technique by watching TV.but after a long long long while they drop that and get to it. The reason i gave this movie a 7 was it did little to develop the plot. Why are they here? Who are the people in charge of them and why? Why did they put the aliens in a garbage pit? It got to the point where i was hoping the ship would crash and take the aliens and the city with it. The other thing is i am getting tired of watching films like this where the hero is a blooming moron. Its called a convoluted plot device. The hero has to be stupid so he does the thing that gets him in trouble which is part of the premise of this film.Then they dump the mockumentary crap and start a great movie. You pay for the first third of the movie but you stay for the last 2/3s. From that point the movie starts to make you care and its a great ride from there. See this movie.
