    Alien Invasion resistence film


    Looks decent enough. Needs a longer trailer and more detail though.

    Looks good, and very similar to the (recently cancelled) TV show 'Colony'. Wonder if the final film will remain this ambiguous though.

    I vaguely remember seeing a review saying it wasn't great. Can't remember much of the detail though

    Good performances from John Goodman and Vera Farmiga

    I thought it was a more miss than hit, to be honest.

    It's basically a film version of the TV show 'Colony', but it just sort of plods along without ever being truly compelling or engaging.

    Not terrible, but could've been executed much better.

    Nooooooh! I really liked that low-budget-but-much-better-than-Falling-Skies-alien.invasion-resistance show.
    Seriously- I thought it was a great show for such a low-budget production.

    I really enjoyed this movie. Could see the surprise coming a mile off but thought it was still very good.

    I’d say a lack of action (practically none) has put off its target audience. Also the low reviews (harsh IMO) prob put people off. A solid sc fi flick but more based on the human side of it.
