Excellent but underrated film
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Slow paced and low on action, this film is a pleasant way to spend 90 minites. The plot lines are a little confused and it does jump ahead. But generally flows well.
Still it is unbelievable how this movie has so high rate. So blunt, so hollow... everything is familiar so achingly familiar . I guess only teenagers rated this movie
It's a scathing indictment of Humanity's primal survival instincts and how they inherently begin to work against us, contained within a story that forces the mind to do just the opposite: remain vulnerable. I love it. Those who dislike this movie are, in a sense, exactly the ones that it calls out: those with preconceptions with which they are unable to part.
This movie was great. At first I thought it would be a cheap mix of the "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and "Sphere". This movie was so much more. I went into this movie with low expectations which is probably why I enjoyed it so much. In all, this movie had a plot twist that was more beautiful than plot ruining.I know a movie is great when I am driving to work the next day (1 hr commute) and I can't stop thinking about it.This movie is free on Hulu, if you have not seen it yet, please do so
