    ^ I agree about there needing to be more seriousness. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to other people, BUT thought it failed a little in that it tried to be humorous, an action flick, and serious at the same time. You've got the cliche corporatization thing, which is right out of robocop/other b-grade movies, the military dudes which reminded me of so many other movies, the action scenes, etc. The story is brilliant and I was drawn in (with the little development that was there) to the alien characters. I wanted more of that.
