A great movie - blending entertaiment with thoughtful, sometimes humourous, subtle social comment.
Outstanding character development of the main character, who starts off as a complete dork.... Read more
..Excellent effects, awesome weaponry ( when is the game coming? ) - a movie that goes beyond the simple concept of aliens as friends or enemies.
Makes you think about the inherent way that human beings treat something they don't understand. This story could be about apartheid (ironically its set in SA) or the oppression of any race or refugees... Read more

Okay the special effects look awesome! Blue Ray rules! The plot, well it's okay. Fairly Sci fi although a little annoying at times. I kept waiting for the main character to do something. Watchable... Read more
but don't expect it to live up to the hype. It never will.Good movie. It keeps in pace with what we humans would do if this did happen
