Ratings and reviews

Tedious. Slow moving, overacted, very PC - why was Jeremy Renner ridiculously underused to push the awful Amy Whatsername. Same old story with aliens. Boring. And the usual drivel from it's supporters "You need to be intelligent like us to enjoy the movie" Nope, thats the Emperors New Clothes logic. You think you're fantastically kitted out while you're naked. Its a runt of a movie. One of the most boring Sci Fi movies ever

Urgh, sooo boring! I'm the kind of guy who will power through an 1000 page book so I can say I finished it.... but good lord I could not finish this film. The good reviews just baffle me. I thought Left Behind with Nic Cage would be the worst thing I ever saw - how wrong I was

excellent sci-fi movie... great take on the short story, which it completes. perfect pace and rhythm to the story telling, building the tension nicely. And "pfft" to all those looking for a Michael Bay style tanks and lasers 'splosion fest, you're not going to find it here. Grab a copy of the short story which fills out some of the background not mentioned in the film
