Eerie Buildup but Some Glaring Holes

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2002)

I enjoyed this film from start to finish. Very atmospheric as we have come to expect from M.N.S and worth far more than the average hollywood big budget box office. However.. Some of the sentimentality wouldn't have been out of place in a Robin Williams movie!!
and ****SPOILERS AHEAD*****
I realise this was a subtle film about character and faith and that circles and space aliens were just a device to hang these on.. but you cannot have an invasion of the earth by aliens who have travelled across the galaxy, can make their ships invisible but CANNOT GET INTO A LOCKED BASEMENT!! And then they just go away. I thought that was a little lazy.
Still, better than every other film I've seen this year including LOTR.
