Half way through the film I kept thinking this is like Skyline, a film I hated, but good. As it went on however, it just got better and better, the twist comes as a huge surprise, one I certainly never expected. This has been advertised on a huge scale, and is I would say better then the adverts would have you believe.
Such clever writing, it's sci fi, but so different to everything I've seen in a while, clever and imaginative, seeing the other side for a change, which makes you think about the film differently.
Very well acted, with some great special effects. It's not perfect by any means, there are times where it seems to jump about so much I didn't know who was who, or what was happening. It really didn't matter though as the story itself is very, very enjoyable.
It's been a while since a film has surprised me, particularly a sci fi, but this is excellent

I really enjoyed it. Expect the unexpected.
Yep, those kids are just so distracting...
As the plot unfolds and you gradually become invested in the story and it's trajectory, the child characters do their best to distract the viewer by just being little pains... They seem to actively do everything they can to get the main characters killed off... I think this Netflix sci-fi flick should have rated much higher had it not been for those characters... Shame.
Keen eyes up there
I find it ironic that this film was shot in Serbia, a country whose existence was partly borne out of committing genocide.
Peter (Michael Pena) is having nightmares that Earth is going to be invaded by aliens. His behaviour and actions make him seem odd and his wife Alice (Lizzy Caplan) is concerned about him.
Then the aliens attack and everybody on Earth need to fight for their lives. Peter is shocked that one of the captured alien looks human. When Alice is seriously wounded, the captured alien offers to help fix her.
This Netflix movie looks cheap, a large portion of the film is shot in the dark. The CGI looks dicey. It really is a made for television film.
As a sci fi action film it below par, at least the screenplay has a twist to give the movie an Isaac Asimov type substance to it. It does not all add up but at least the second half is an improvement on the derivative first half of the movie.
