We seen this movie the other day and I thought if was AWESOME! It is worth seeing just for the cgi aliens and their weapons. They called the aliens prawns but they remind me of roaches. They did such a good job that I thought that the young alien was cute. They left thing unfinished at the end so I think there will be another one.

I've been wanting to see this too, but haven't been able to get away yet. Hubby and I saw the trailer when we went to see the latest Harry Potter movie. It looks good. Will at least get the library to pick it up.

It looks like it has a slightly different take on alien/Human relations...how did that play out on screen Snap?

It was kind of strange that it takes place in South Africa and the aliens are being treated like how the blacks were at one time. They are like different and unwanted.

I like the way that good science fiction tackles these issues.

I like the way that good science fiction tackles these issues. Good science fiction always tries to address the larger issues that arise through its muse, its the generic stuff thats just wants you to accept it all. It's why Independence Day is really the only 'UFO invasion' movie I can stand, it mentions things people might mention in a modern alien invasion, such as people using it as an excuse to party or someone asking about Roswell...

I saw this and thought it was pretty good, a different kind of SF movie to be sure...

Just realized that this is out on DVD now. Amazon has a two-disk set.

I just put it on hold at my library, but there are seven holds ahead of me so it'll be awhile. Would have put it on hold earlier, but had forgotten about it due to all the family stuff that was going on around the end of last year and the beginning of this one.
