Finally Something Fresh!!!

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2011)

The theme of "aliens" have been tainted much in modern cinema such as in the abysmal Skyline and the mediocre Battle:LA. Even Steven Spielberg had spoilt his latest Indiana Jones installment with aliens. This theme has reached its overdose and keeps on firing at all of the wrong directions.
Thankfully, director J.J. Abrams saved the theme gloriously with this film. With an interesting plot, a fresh band of young (very potential) actors and great special effects, J.J. Abrams have unleashed one of the greatest aliens films easily in this decade.
The story is told very similar to 1980s Steven Spielberg alien films (ET & Close Encounters Of The Third Kind) where suspense play a large role to keep the viewers hooked.
Therefore, I strongly recommend to give this movie a go and exit the cinema with a brand new feeling that has been missing in the films lately. Also, like Inception, the lesser you know before you watch the movie...the better.
