Ratings and reviews

So many science-fiction films pit us against them. The humans versus the aliens. This film takes a rather interesting approach in making humans the bad guys for once. The main character and hero is a human, of course, but him learning more about the aliens and doing what he knows has to be done makes the whole story all the more intesting. It's not the same old sci-fi I'm accustomed to, and I like it for that.

Hey my friend Daisy (don't know her last name because she doesn't think I'd write this review) is watching your movie and she thinks your Aliens are too mean and ugly. I agree why do they half to be so damn ugly they don't even have E.T. go home fingers. Anyways it be awesome if you made a show or something based off this and made the Aliens different and had a Character named Daisey.

It's very disturbing if you actually have a heart. Racist doesn't even begin to describe it. I think that it shows a plethora of our faults as humans. Cruelty, oppressive tendencies, hateful ignorance for living breathing things. Watching this was the equivalent of listing all the terrible things humanity is capable of and then doing it. I'm saddened that so many actually found this to be a good movie. It's disgusting and whoever thought it was a good idea to make should be ashamed.
