Total waste of a great idea

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2010)

I have waited quite a long time for this movie since I read the news during production. The idea of aliens on Earth being treated as immigrants was quite exiting and new. Despite all the good hopes about the movie, it turns out to be a real disappointment.
The screenplay is not coherent for the starters, kick-off as in a documentary, it turns out to be monologue and then ends like an American action movie.
Also, the holes in the scenario were extremely disturbing. I felt really ashamed for what the director did. Some points of these were;

How can a spaceship come to world and not be researched for 20 years? - How can two guys enter a NATO kind of office, kill everybody and steal what they need? - In the last part, how can the human race leave the destiny of all aliens, escaping spaceship to the hands of a crazy lieutenant? - Why do they end every movie with a final fight, in this case Crazy Lietant and the Dutchmen?

I know it's a science-fiction. But it doesn't mean you have to neglect all the flaws. Could have been a classic if the producers were elaborate.
