If you love a fun SciFi and aren't going in expecting some cerebral Oscar-worthy movie, you might absolutely love watching this.
It started about how I figured it would, but within 30 minutes it really took off and surprised me. I think it had some original ideas taking it past the usual Alien invasion type movie. The acting is all good for a lower budget Sci Fi, I thought they all did a good job.
One thing that surprised me was the special effects. There were a couple scenes where the CGI was obvious, but they used a nice blend of practical and CGI effects in this movie that must have REALLY stretched their budget to the max. Very impressive. The Aliens, their "craft", ship, weapons, etc. all looked awesome.
I thought the trailer looked like it would be a decent 6/10 straight to dvd type SciFi, but I feel it went much beyond that.
For a fun SciFi movie that isn't meant to take itself too serious, I give it an 8/10. I had a great time watching it and will definitely come back to this one more than once.
