Featured reviews
Interesting concept with so some WOW moments combined with comedy this film worked well. If it had a larger budget it might have been really great. The ending is LIKE WHAT?
This is minimalistic and micro budgeted film that doesn't take itself too seriously. The plot includes a typical millennial couple going on a retreat with no internet. So they don't know that the Earth is attacked by fluffy killer aliens.
This movie has some pacing issues in first act, but then fun begins until the end. The end is left ambiguous enough which might put off some viewers but makes sense at the same time. There is not much into the story per se, but the small touches with dialogs and situations keeps it interesting. It doesn't try to reinvent the genre and plays safe, but the leads Su and Jack handle it too charmingly to be too noticeable. If you are looking for a minimalistic movie with loads of fun, this is it.

Interesting and unique, but as the film proceeds its keeps getting abstract and finally ends unsatisfactorily.
REVIEW - SAVE YOURSELVES
Frustration!
When a film even a cheap independent film starts and starts well in a way you have to expect that due to budget there will be for example poor effects, creatures or aliens but honestly and surprisingly I found these to actually add to the charm of this film as it simply doesn't take its self too seriously, sorry I'm jumping ahead, let me start from the beginning.
A couple decide to go away and not look at their various devices for the entire week, no phone, no tablets, no laptop and just enjoy each others company.
While away earth gets invaded by what look like Tribbles, yes Star Trek fans a version of our favourite pest returns but this version kills people!
What do they do? what would you do?
I'm not sure if this film is listed as a comedy but a few times I did chuckle to myself so surprising enjoyed this except for the sheer waste of time ending, what happened, you actually get hooked, start enjoying and actually sit on the edge of your seat at what happens at the end and then nothing?
So yes enjoyable but....?
Rating 6 out of 10

Many people here seem to hate this movie even though it's so cute and inoffensive as the baby Su and Jack pick up towards the end. I can only guess that the haters expected a serious alien invasion flick with "Independence Day" effects and heroics. Well, it's not! The alien invasion is mostly just background noise to the story of Su and Jack and their often hilarious but relatable ineptitude in the face of first their own little problems and later the big alien problem.
Just expect the quintessential "small" movie, have a glass of wine and maybe you too can enjoy this little gem, with beautiful scenery and cinematography and the cutest couple since "Harry and Sally".
