Wordiezett So much average

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

myvallli A great movie idea, but with awkward making. The film makes the people say, it sucks so bad... But I think that if just there was more concentration and vision for brilliance and success in the audience's feelings and emotions. These emotions and feelings, which were destroyed by the awfull play between the scenes and the bad made screenplay. Also the direction was crashed, literaly.

julie_seguin21 I love this movie and it's very similar to the book. they are chosen the good actor for the role. I very like Chloë Grace Moretz as Cassie and Alex Roe as evan .

Bruce Thompson Contains spoilers. I have seen a few clips from this film on Youtube and thought it might be interesting, so, when I found it in a bargain bin yesterday, going for next to nothing, I paid the paltry few dollars and brought it home.I played it last night and reached the end of the miserable thing wishing that I had left it in the bin and used the paltry few dollars to buy something useful, like liquorice allsorts. You get what you pay for, I guess.Just about every teen flick/post-apocalyptic/alien invasion/wrong-guys-are-the-bad-guys cliché has been recycled in this mind-numbingly vapid waste of 108 minutes of my life. The heroine, Cassie, stumbles from one life-threatening moment to the next and barely gets her hair mussed or face dirty - by halfway through the film I was starting to get sick of close-ups of her perfectly clean, pretty face.I actually started to get twitchy early on in the film, but nearly reached breaking point when the military massacred the adults in the gunfight at the survivours camp and departed, leaving their own dead behind - and their weapons! In light of later revelations, the apparently callous abandonment of their own casualties could be explained, but no military walks off leaving behind weapons than could later be used against them.Expecting a viewer to accept that small children could, in only a few weeks, be turned into combat soldiers, was pushing things a bit far, but it has apparently worked in parts of Africa, so why not the USA too? But then those same children were sent into battle at night, wearing lights on their helmets! Why not just give each a bullhorn so that she/he could stand out in the open and shout at the enemy, "Here I am! Here I am!"The final nail in the coffin for this awful film was expecting the viewer to believe that one man could carry enough explosives to blow an entire airfield and its buildings into a huge hole in the ground. By then, thank the Lords of Kobol, there were only a few minutes left in this film, so I sweated it out to the end and vowed never to watch it again.I have two teenage granddaughters who like lightweight films, but they wouldn't be able to stomach even this.This film gets two stars from me, and lucky to get even that.

dsmith6068 If you know the book trilogy, of which this is just the first book, then you know the secret of the alien "others." It could have been revealed in this movie, but then the movie would never have been made. The "Others" are rabid environmentalists, going around the universe to different planets killing off the top-dog species on each planet on the assumption that the top species is a danger to all the others. So that is their motive to exterminating the human race. But you can't have "good" environmentalists as "bad" aliens without a lot of thinking, which this movie doesn't have.
