best SF I have ever seen

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2009)

I was really surprised by this film. I was expecting something much less but I think this has got to be the best SF film I have ever seen. Excellent makeup work and 'mis en scene' makes this a very believable movie. Just too bad the cinema I saw it in had kind of tattered seats and kind of smelled of sweat, and a fly kept flying in front of the screen in front of me, just beyond my reach. The movie was not overly short or overly long, and the acting was perfect for what it was about. I recommend this film highly to fans of SF, the summers best one, bar none. It is interesting to see the progression in terms of SF film making from when the film Alien came out in 1979, to the Hollywood blitz of Arnie does SF films in the 1990s, to the land of endless rehashes of the concept of monster aliens that is supposedly a nod to Alien post 2000, but is really a nod to nothing. This film adds to the work that will be called classic SF in years to come. Up with it!
