8+ Really...I mean REALLY!?!?! Truly a horrible movie

Rating: 1/10 (15 August 2014)

I've NEVER written a movie review. After seeing the 8+ ratings on IMDb(whom I used to trust), I thought I'd take a chance, even though I'd seen the corny trailer on TV. It fit the time slot I needed and IMDb was 8+, how could this be bad, I thought!
Spoiler alert, well, after the first scene in which the kids mom dies, which I thought at that point the movie had a chance, my hopes were dashed within the next few minutes and I knew that the next two hours were going to be pure agony and I was right. I was wondering if some of the glowing reviews were from people that had a stake in the movies success.
Very poor story line, the aliens were all human like with subtle variances and it seemed to just drag on with predictable action and outcomes. There is really nothing I can say that is remotely good about the movie.
