This is not the best movie in the world, but nor is it the worst by a long stretch of the imagination. The opening premise was really good, and thought out quite well, but from the middle of the movie it began to drag a bit, and then caught up quite a bit I the third act of the movie.
I won't spoil anything but the big twist at the of the first act was telegraphed from a long way away, in fact there are meerkats sitting on their little mud huts saying how they saw that from a mile away.
Even though that was pretty obvious it doesn't spoil the enjoyment of the movie, and does add a bit of angst that wasn't really there.
As I said not a bad movie, and if you go into it expecting Aliens or Star Wars you will be disappointed but if you go in expecting a district 9 or minority report, then I'm sure you will enjoy it.
