    It was not really Twilight

    Let us establish some facts here 1)The host is not twilight 2) Saoirse Ronan is not Kristen Stewart and 3) (Melanie / Wanda), well we can argue that point, is Bella 3.0t. If I had seen this movie first i would have definitely liked it more than twilight. I love the psychological play in the movie, i liked the story, but I really really really loved Saoirse Ronan in that role. She played it marvelously well, and the director did a great job portraying her two personalities. I can't tell you what it was missing yet; I am not getting payed for this so i am allowed to not know. I encourage you to see it, I was pleasantly surprised. It is a solid 7/10 for me.

    Hit or Miss

    This movie you will either enjoy or hate to be honest. If you want something that is action-packed and filled with cool sci-fi moments do not see this movie. Yes the movie is sci-fi but it's more about romance. It also is a tad slower.

    However, the cast was fantastic and the script was beautiful. There were cheesy moments but it was still really sweet and well done. Basically what I am saying, is if you like romance with a twist go and see it! If you are expecting something like Gattaca, you will be disappointed.

    I really loved the movie and felt it held up to the book. I usually hate movie versions of books but this was really good! If you like the book chances are you are going to like the movie. There are tweaks of course, but I thought they were mainly well done and helped get the same message across.

    Definitely underrated

    This is a smart movie and I really loved every second of it, I should admit that first 15 minutes of the movie is slow and you should wait...you will see how it gets you!! Trust me and watch this movie with all your sole, you have to listen and understand what is happening. This movie has beautiful scenes and amazing music, OMG the music just melts in you and you lives in there. Finally Saoirse Ronan just killed it, specially the way she tells the story, you are connected to the movie soon and enjoy watching it, I remember her play in "the lovely bones" she is more mature now and always she's been consistent and so talented actress. This is one of my favorite movies ever. 8/10

    Falls Short

    I went into this movie expecting something decent. Perhaps my hopes were a bit too high. First off, I have not read the book and now being aware of the whole plot, I definitely don't plan too. The plot never really went anywhere. It starts out with plenty of action and anticipation, but ultimately falls short and ends up being really boring and lacking any real conflict. At one point I thought Diane Kruger was going to save the film, but the character development was poor. Overall, the acting was weak, the plot never took off, it became a make out session with no emotional attachment to characters. I strongly recommend you not waste your time or money on this sorry excuse for a film.

    "I only have eyes for you" lyricist Al Dubin

    Based on "The Host" a novel by Stephenie Meyer released on May 6, 2008.

    This presentation is a standard invasion scenario. It was our world until they took it over. It was my body until they took it over. But wait there are some hold outs. They do not have a chance. On top of that Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan) becomes the hostess with the mostess by resisting her alien occupier; this will through a wrench in everyone's plans.

    It took some time to figure out why the alien good guys were so aggressive when it came to Melanie Stryder who changed her name to Wanda.

    So we could tell the hosted from the unhosted we the hosted have strange eyes. So, you can tell them at a distance the good people (depending on your perspective) wore white and drove silver; the rogues wore muted colors and drove more militant vehicles. Sort of like the old westerns with black or white hats.

    The whole story is easy to second guess as it is all standard clichés. I have not read the book yet but something tells me it has more facets to it.

    In any event, it is fun to watch the interactions between the characters and even the few chase scenes. You may even want to watch this again.

    • Trivia
      As the Seekers wear completely white clothing throughout this movie, including in the desert sequences, it was a tedious process for the costume designers and make-up artists to constantly clean the clothes whenever they became dirty, which was often.
    • Goofs
      (at around 28 mins) When crossing the desert on foot, Melanie tells Wanda to walk only on rocks so as to leave no tracks. The cave-dwellers, however, drive 7.5tonne Mercedes trucks in and out.
