When I saw the trailer for this, for this, I wasn't very interested in seeing it. The trailer didn't really tell what the movie was about, and it looked a little boring. This trailer is one that I didn't see, but I think represents the movie a bit better. The part in the first trailer where they're interviewing the alien, and it says they just want to go home and they didn't mean to come here isn't even in the movie, so you never actually know why they came or anything.
The beginning of the movie was kind of weird. I felt like I was watching a PBS special or something. That didn't make it bad, it was just different from most movies I've seen.
There were some things I really liked about this movie, and some things that got on my nerves. The main character guy seemed to be dumb as a box of rocks, but I think that was the point, kind of. He was supposed to be dumb. Also, I started out thinking the aliens were really gross. They were just disgusting bug-like creatures. But then, as the movie progressed, I was rooting for the aliens, in particular the father and son.
It ended kind of abruptly, in a spot where you would hope there would be more so you could find out what happens. In fact, Troy got up to go to the bathroom, and I wondered what he was doing, because I could tell there was five minutes more movie, at most, but he thought there would be a bunch more. I was right--there was only 30 seconds left when he got back. I guess that leaves it open for a sequel, but this doesn't seem like the type of movie for one.
I would recommend this movie if you like science fiction or alien movies. I'm not sure how well a non sci-fi fan would like it, but it was definitely interesting, although there was lots of swearing. I'd give it 4 out of 5.

It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised by a movie! I'm glad you liked it. I probably won't watch it since I hate alien movies and rarely like a science fiction movie. :)
