I was looking very much forward to it, since I'm a fan of the original (nostalgia based). 15 minutes into the movie I just knew it was going to be bad.

Made by the same director that made the movie 2012, it has the same terrible drama and completely transparent storyline. I'm not even sure if there even is a storyline to this movie.

The worst part, aside from all the crying scenes based upon long distance relationships, unresolved father issues and what not, was in fact that the aliens are more primitive than us.

You would think that a race with such insane technology have evolved beyond petty and shortsighted impulse driven emotions. It's when you realize that the Queen of the aliens suddenly gets a personal vendetta against a yellow school bus while fighter planes are bombarding her, that the manuscript was written in half an hour in a coffee shop.

I really went into this with open eyes and was completely set for loving it, but no. The movie is just pure garbage. I'm sorry...

This film is overlayed with a deep and gloomy atmosphere.

From the beginning to the end, one gets the feeling of watching a good feature film, and both the image and sound quality surprises in a matter of professionalism.

The camera action and movements are really refined, and the story likewise.

I really enjoyed this film, and when it finished I was stunned for a moment or two, reflecting about its plot. It's deep, sad and at the same time filled with a discrete happiness.

But it doesn't end here, I recently read that it has been nominated for an Oscar. This is what drew my attention to the film. The crew has done a magnificent job, and I would recommend it to everyone that enjoys a film with an euphoric underlying meaning.
