A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
I have a habit to highly appreciate any movie with a good ending, which I think was very successful here. The move has some weak points, but I decided to consider it comedy parts, even though it wasn't meant to be so. For example, the arm scenes were horrible, but why not laugh at it and continue enjoying the movie!The small girl in the end really tricked me. She made me think it wasn't that bad on earth! They were calm and text each other's, then suddenly the husband shout at his wife's work partner not to let her come to earth. A million question in my mind, and suddenly the perfect end. Enjoyable if you don't take it that serious.
Don't believe the critics. This is pure entertainment with fantastic special effects, mind blowing CGI and scary moments. With a touch of Interstellar, Prometheus, Alien and many more sci-fi classics. Maybe not the best script, some plot holes and bad acting...but hey, it's a big budget Netflix popcorn movie you won't easily forget. Just relax and sit back. And of course with a breathtaking movie score by Bear McCreary. His score alone is worth one extra star!
Cheesy expository dialogue and a chemistry-less cast of characters get things off to a rough start, but it sort of morphed into an enjoyably campy sci-fi romp with an appreciably eclectic cast when there was just a bunch of super weird/gross things happening ("What are you talking about, arm?"). But before long, uber-serious and unintelligible science-y plot-speak, bland character drama, and a distant-in-every-way side plot on earth take over and ruin the film's chances of being decent.5.5/10
There is nothing special about this movie. It is almost a copy of every space movie. The idea is a bit complicated and this dis not help the movie at all.
