Silly. Silly film.
A useless cast whose only response to alien attacks is huffing, puffing, and other breathy pointlessness.
Ambitious special effects, and by "ambitious" I mean "not very good". Explosions look like match flares filmed right up close, and the alien stuff doesn't look anywhere near solid enough.
The film wants to be a cross between District 9, Alien, and Transformers, but doesn't come close to any of them in terms of story, quality, or content.
The plot (such as it is) flaps wildly all over the place, with aliens alternating between apparently invincible auto re-generators and brittle piles of bits that buckle under a good fist-pounding.
A perfect example of how a tightly-edited trailer can sucker one (i.e. me) in. If Lawrence and I hadn't simply squeezed the film in between exiting the spa and heading off to the airport to pick Pavey up, it would've been a complete waste of time.
Don't fall for it!
