    Very boring

    Well that's 121 minutes I will never get back. All talk and no action. Total waste of time.

    Interesting idea but it just ended up confusing me.

    This was a suspenseful drama that was super confusing to me, i didn't quite understand the end but it isn't good enough to make myself watch again so i hope it's a mystery that leaves my memory quickly.

    What you see isn't what you get

    Once again, I've been duped by a misleading cover image. It looks like aliens and invasion and explosions and helicopters and guns and some dude in a white shirt trying to save the world or something cool. At least they got the dude in the white shirt part right. The movie was mostly watching him and his annoying family being ignorant about what's happening outside their front door. You could learn a bit about what was going on from the TV broadcasts, until Mr t-shirt shuts the TV off. A lot of this movie did not make sense, and it tried to make more sense in the end, but by then, I just wanted it to be over. The movie itself isn't that bad, but I wouldn't call this science fiction.
