I love movies about aliens, apocalypse and found-footage so deciding to watch this was a no-brainer for me. After the first 5 minutes though I was afraid I had made a terrible mistake. But for some reason I kept watching and found it to be surprisingly not terrible. The acting was nothing to get excited about but there were some good moments. It had more heart than you usually see in low-budget alien/end-of-the-world films. The main characters were likable for the most part or at least understandable. Characters weren't too cookie-cutter (except for the bad guys - they were unimaginative and tiresome). Overall a decent effort for an indie.
