Opening Netflix a few hours ago I was bracing myself for yet another horrible sci-cry like many other that come out these days, but not seeing all fake 10/10 reviews I just had to watch it.

Not going to post spoilers, but untill the twist half way I was buying the character development and when we see who the aliens are my heart sank into my shoes and was thinking "attack of the clones...". Shortly after I was actually rooting for the invadors and feel sorry for Michael Peña.

CGI overal was good, it's clear there wasn't a big budget but if you make the characters interresting enough so you can focus on them, you don't have to render a complete burning world but just small parts of it for the actual plot. Some scene's you can roll your eyes but when just enjoying the movie they are hardly noticable. Besides the pin coming out of the window washer's cart that made me wonder "oh no..." :)

Acting was good, the overal story was decent and the twist in the middle was perfectly placed as you would rewind in your mind everything that happend and see it from the other side. If they would have kept it for later in the movie you would feel cheated and earlier it would ruine Michael Peña's character building so you wouldn't care one bit.

Review title from rajat_24 pretty much nailed it, you will either love it or hate it. Considering the junk coming out of hollywood I will give this one a 7, the twist was great, finally some one thinking a bit out of the box as the invasion movies have been done to death (thank you independence day 2...).

I am actually really curious to the estimated production costs as it feels like an indi movie with a tad more money but simple to the point of using CGI where is absolutely needed to save costs and small crew to keep it relatively cheap. Well done and how such movies should actually be made.

I was definitely entertained, thank you.

If I could give it a -10, I'd complain I couldn't give it a -11.

Unbelievable bad script and acting (as in none). Homeworld 1 had better graphics, heck, I'm pretty sure Half Life 1 will hold up to this. It may have the tag "sci-fi", but I'm voting for IMDB to add a "sci-cry" tag, though Half Life 3 may be released sooner then that happening...

Edit; Atleast the keyboard warriors are telling the truth, the movie really sucks.
