User Reviews

Great action flick

I read some of the reviews of this and would like to say how much I disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie in the theater. I really enjoy the story and effects. Maybe it does not have a completely new idea. Invaders from space have been done many times. This one is very original in its thoughts on how a superior race would accomplish this. If you just set back and enjoy it without judging every little imperfection, you will enjoy it. And I am way over twelve. I was that age when star wars first came out. Take a look and enjoy the originality and great effects. Enjoy!
