Greatest Sci Fi film of this generation

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2009)

I don't even know where to begin but before seeing this film I had a handful of friends telling they didn't enjoy too much. Only a few of my friends really liked this film so I had no idea what to expect so I go to watch this film and I gotta tell ya its probably my favorite movie thus far. It is to me the best movie I've seen in my generation way better than the Dark Knight and Iron Man combined. Yeah go ahead and stone me. I know there's no connection with this movie but the reason why I say this is here's a movie we really need: An original story. This movie doesn't seem to steal or show any apparent similarities with other films and I like the fact that it doesn't take place in any familiar place like LA or New York but South Africa its just a fresh of breathe air. There is nothing about this film that meets the criteria of Hollywood, it surpasses it. Its not one of your run of the mil movies you go with your friends on the weekend to waste your money on some cheesy over hyped horror or action flick. The film has its unique style of story telling and cinematography that keeps you interested doesn't bore you one minute. Also the special effects were outstanding you almost feel like this is possible I love how they made everything look sophisticated and not over the top for the mechanisms of the alien technology or the props. But thats not the highlight of the film, its the whole spectrum of this movie that makes it an original masterpiece, our generation's Star Wars. Great acting, music, filming, directing, dialogue etc the whole package. Very provocative film.
