good for special effects... the rest... bleh

Rating: 3/10 (1 April 2009)

This film really let me down, yes the special effects were excellent and the first two thirds of the film made complete sense and was full of action and questions being asked. Unfortunately the film writers seemed to get sloppy towards the end and completely chicken out of any credibility.
There are enigmas posted all the way through the film... who are the mysterious men in black and what do they want with the children? The answer is of cause they are aliens, and they want to abduct them.
There's lots of little rocks in the movie, that never get explained. The reason the children write the numbers and how they know, never gets explained. Why the children are beamed up with bunny rabbits never gets explained. Nothing gets explained.
Then everyone dies...
I think I'm pretty good with films and will watch anything, and enjoy it... I did enjoy this film until the scriptwriters seemed to just go....
"Yeah... can't think of an ending... it was aliens, then we will kill the entire cast.
Having said that if you like sci fi disaster movies you might like it... but the trailers make it look like a chilling thriller... it's not!
