It's the kind of movie a 12 year old might call "greatest of all time"
No offense to anyone who said that but - cmon people!!

Um....whaa? Favorite of all time??
Honestly this movie is no better than your average TV sci fi series. It was entertaining for a lil while but pretty silly and didn't add up to much in the end.

Brilliant on so many levels. Philosophically speaking.

This movie is actually what the Halo movie was going to be until it got canned. Once that happened they just turned it into D9, so im going to go ahead and say that Halo would have been the greatest videogame movie of all time, which of course isnt saying much.

Just watched this last night and i've already rated it as probably one of my favourite films of all time, definitely in the top ten.
Why?
- No big stars in it. I hate films that rely on stars to get people watching it.
- unique location for film. like the say in the film - aliens usually just land in NY or Washington in the US.
- Great storyline
- Good bit of humour in there
- has you on the edge of your seat
- action is good
- CGI is amazing but not overkill
- Good mix of news/interview footage along with film storylineI really hope theres a sequel, its definitely been left open for one. And im pretty sure it'd live up to the mark too.
a must-watch for everyone!

I enjoyed it. Agree with Digdre. Great fun (don't wanna sound like a hater as it was awesome for a first-timer) but masses of plot holes and some pretty ropey acting at times. But that's when you rate it in the top end of cinema (which is an awesome achievement for it to be there). That said if it's going to get mentioned with the best it did have a lot of flaws.

I watched it this weekend, Im from SA originally, it was really good. normally i shudder at home grown stuff but it was awesome. i remember having dinner with the lead guy about a year ago and he was talking about and alien movie he was going to be in and i didnt think anything of it. he rocked it though...
- I thought he was excellentJimbo82
- Yeah he was spot on.whereRI
- the guy was great, and no prior acting experience according to IMDB. respectjimbojones
- he said he was originally just cast as one of the aliens, ie an extra but they put him in lead after not too longwhereRI

Just saw it, thought it was fucking 10/10 brilliant. what's not to like. except for the plot fail of why it was there in the first place.
exploding heads dammit!
