Goofs
After Cassie fires the last shot from the Colt 1911 handgun, it makes several clicks, as if she had pulled the trigger several times. After the last shot is fired, the slide locks back blocking the hammer, so it would not click. The 1911 is a single-action gun. For a trigger pull to drop the hammer, the shooter would have to either fire a round or manually cock it. See more »

Wow. Yet another steaming pile of Hollywood garbage filled with thin white "good looking" people instead of actors.
If it weren't for some huge writing flaws like gaping holes in logic, super flimsy character development, completely unnecessary romantic "tension" crowbarred-in and the aforementioned models-where-actors-should-be trope, the idea and story could have been pretty cool.
I was actually looking forward to seeing this movie, but honestly just had to force myself through from about the half hour mark.
Adding insult to injury is the very obvious set up for what the film makers are most likely hoping will be two or more sequels.
Twilight, but aliens. Not even cool or scary aliens. Just lame, romantic aliens. Or incognito aliens. Huge yawn.
