I first saw the trailer for this film and thought hey looks interesting, District 9 however boy was I wrong. This movie want's to be a serious war documentary... really. No idea why anyone would think that making a fictitious sci-fi war documentary would appeal to anyone.
This is what the movie offers: 1) Interviews with soldiers asking them about personal life, families etc (like you care about them as if they were real people in a real war) 2) Shaky camera all over the place with frantic movement and zooming, not to mention that any time the aliens were in range or any explosions would happen the camera would pretty much get distorted, digital cams and emp near them so you missed just about every special effect because the camera would get pixelated and distorted, great idea.
3) Writing about the effects of things in the film, how people got medals, what happened and so forth as if this was a real war or based on a real story and they were stating facts.
4) No story whatsoever, no explanation to Alien invasion why they were there or got left behind. We saw similar stuff in other films.
5) Poster and trailers look much better than the film.
Best part was how the humans have put up some kind of planetary defence system that stopped these highly advanced aliens from entering the planet yet the humans had no advancement in technology no special weapons or vehicles... wonder how the aliens could fire lasers and plasma cannons, mind control yet their space ships could not take down whatever the human military managed to put in space as defence.
As someone else has mentioned, the films seems like an art project for some movie students. I actually watched about 20/30 min then ended skipping and skipping until the end.
One to skip, nothing to see here, move along:)
