Firstly, the trailer looked great!I was expecting an Alien invasion film, something which would probably not be great but have at least a decent plot. But the film was nothing like I was expecting.

The constant time jumps throughout the film are confusing, and there is just too many characters to try and keep up with, even though the end of the film only focuses on the outcome of two of the characters. It seems almost pointless even introducing half of them to begin with. The acting is terrible, and half the time the characters look as bored as i was when watching the film !

Utter garbage. Don't waste your time.

If you love being confused, this movie is for you. If you enjoy timelines that jump back and forth, you are in for a treat. If you like characters that are clueless and don't pick up weapons along the way, woo hoo! And what's with the SUPER BRIGHT LIGHTS? Unfortunately I had to give it a 1 out of 10, as there is no negative ratings. I would have been happy to give it a 0, but even that isn't an option so it gets a 1, and that's more than it deserves. I hope it wasn't made with taxpayer credits.

Don't Believe anyone that gives this more than one star, they must be family, horrible garbage. bad story line, bad acting, unbelievable, my husband left the room and i fast forwarded till the end to find something worth seeing and there was nothing. 699 and 1 hour wasted. I want a refund for both ugh

With scenes lifted from "Signs" and Tom Cruise's "War of the Worlds," editing so choppy that I couldn't always tell what time line was being presented (and I understood "Primer." Hint: copying the editing style of "Lost" without actually understanding why they did it won't make a good movie), a cultural view of relationships and marriage that only Millenials who thought "90210" represented real life would believe, and what appears to be a sincere desire on the director's part to tell two stories, I simply cannot recommend this movie.

I was once a micro publisher and we regularly received books for review that wanted to tell one story, but thought that telling another story would make it successful. In every case, the story the author wanted to tell was a human drama story (the heartache of affairs, lost love, yadda, yadda, yadda), but they knew that other stories were much more popular. So they would couch the story they wanted to tell in another story: time travel (often civil war romance), westerns, vampires, etc. The result was always a terrible story, and this is no different. Which is a shame, because the special effects where better than average for a low-budget flick and the acting wasn't bad for a bunch of new-comers.

Unfortunately, the biggest problem in the flick (ok, the second biggest, it was SLOW) is that the director actually thinks 20-somethings experience life-altering moral issues. At 50+ it's actually quite tedious to see 20-somethings bemoaning how their lives are over and they're all alone. Kids that haven't actually experienced a lot of real life - and yet that was the story the director wanted to tell. Which, once again, is too bad because the alien story was actually quite well presented. (Well, except for the rifle. A bit too obvious as a plastic toy. Guys, you should have at least glued, sanded, and painted the plastic seam. I'm just sayin'.)

So, end result, not a movie I can recommend.

I was expecting a plot. By the end of the movie we have no idea what the main character does for a living as a workaholic and nothing made any sense throughout the movie. We saw aliens attacking but they never gave any background on that and the aliens were obviously humans in bad wardrobe. The effects were a joke. The final scene was ridiculous. We don't wonder if he got shot, we hope he did so no one makes a sequel.

I do not understand the negative reviews. This movie is not about aliens and invasion and big explosions. It uses these themes to deal with a much more down to earth issue which is 'alienation' in erotic relationships. This should be clear to even the most naive viewers.

Acting is good and character development very good. Montage is different than in the usual Hollywood flick which makes the story not so linear but that is a good thing as it is used in a nice way to keep the story up. There is tension building like in any nice thriller but it is more of an internal one as we descent into the troubles of marriage and ambition. External tension is following the same arc beautifully.

For an Indy film this was stellar and for a change there is a film with actually a little bit of meaning in it. If you want your 100th movie about aliens and explosions and heroics please move on. If you want something deeper definitely see this one.

I couldn't believe the reviews I read after watching this. I enjoyed it, OK it's no Predator, but everything about this flick holds up. The acting was good, the effects well done, and although the story burnt slowly, was different and well done. Yes, it's told in a different format. Yes, it bounces back and forward in time to tell different aspects of a story that is important. People should stop whining and watch movies for what they are for, and that's entertainment, and not to slag off what they don't understand. One reviewer gave this film 2/10 but One Tree Hill 10/10.... so you be the judge. I'm giving this flick an honest 7/10, it gave me more than what I expected and I enjoyed the ride.

the entire cast was sleepwalking through this turkey. It rates right up there with Plan 9 From Outer Space for really bad scifi. I have to type in five lines or they won't publish the review. How many ways can I say yuck, boring, terrible, a total waste of time and money to view it, and about a hundred other similar words. If you can't sleep, this is the cure.

Garbage. There's nothing else to say, but the review process requires 5 lines in order to be a valid review, so I'll just carry on pointlessly like this movie until I reach the minimum number of characters to fill up 5 lines. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them...

Like 'Monsters', another failed attempt to cross-genre, this movie is really more about the protagonist getting back to his wife. The alien invasion is more like the obstacle. That is about the most positive statement that can be made about this movie. As mentioned, the use of flashbacks were incoherent and not well paced, meaning you spent more time trying to figure whether it was present or past than learning the backstory. Primary issue is acting. Knowing that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of unemployed actors that can act, why do directors settle on a main character that makes Kirsten Stewart look good? There is an alien invasion going on, and people have the same level of emotions as those waiting in a grocery line. Main character has one confused look for most of the movie, regardless of the scene. I lost 90 minutes of my life, I'm warning you not to do the same. Sharknado 4 is an upgrade.

Still looking up in the sky to see an alien.................................................................................................!

And a pointless ending. I guess i have to leave a longer review. The acting's not great. Alot of whats happening doesn't make much sense. I had a little hope in the second act but it went to heck in the 3rd. Some good jump scares if your into that. Not really a bad-bad or a good-bad movie more a ok-bad movie. If your into alien movies, jump scares and are really really board give it a go.

Yes yes yes... there have been a plethora of alien movies invading the big (and small) screen over recent years. And many have been downright dreadful. Poor scripts, predictable plots and amateurish acting, direction and production.

However, this is most certainly not one of those.

The plot is solid. The shifts in time line well considered and engaging. The acting suspenseful and the aliens... hmmmmmm? OK the aliens (as usual) play a very low key role and are mostly shadowy off camera characters. But then hey, they're aliens. So what do you expect? Lol

All-in-all an enjoyable movie if you're ready to engage a little by stepping into the actual plot and give it some space to affect you. I know that most movie watchers expect to be bedazzled and thrown into a mindless haze of visual spectacle but that doesn't mean that there's no space for more introspective 'alien' movies such as this one.

So switch off the lights, make a hot chocolate and enjoy this horror-sci-drama for what it is.

This was a movie I went into completely blind, kind of expecting to think it to be not worth my time. It turned out better than I expected! Yes, the jumping back and forth in time was distracting, but not difficult to follow if you were paying attention. The special effects are about what you'd expect from a made-for-TV movie, if not a little better. The setting was unexpected and refreshing. Certainly not the best movie out there, but not the worst, either. I'd recommend it.
