very good but crappy ending

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2015)

This movie was great up until the ending. It was very interesting and had an original storyline. Where the movie went wrong was vilifying the alien and then trying to get the audience to like it at the end. It doesn't help by showing that the alien is eating innocent humans at the end. The ending was also pointless, I don't understand why the alien couldn't leave right away, and why it needed the kids help. What the movie should have done was not have it eat innocent people. Cows and army men that were hunting the monster would have been OK. Also they should have had the kids help the monster to build its ship so the kids would have been necessary for the alien. Sorry for my rambling thoughts and poor grammar.
