The strongest point - almost flawless, well crafted story.

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2009)

I think this movie beautifully combines three major pillars that makes it work. First is the idea of the end of the world, which is always interesting if done well. Then this contemporary question of deterministic universe versus total randomness. Thirdly, aliens, which are a part of modern folklore so it is only natural to combine them in this kind of story. And that is this movie strongest point - almost flawless, well crafted plot, which is very rare in movies of recent years. The closest that modern sci-fi movies usually come to is a dumbed-down version of some old classics. But this story by Ryne Douglas Pearson survived all the usual trimmings by Hollywood. The thrill and tension was great. I thought Rose Byrne (Dyana Wayland) was very good. The visuals where also up to par. Good movie, very entertaining.
