Plot
In Moscow, five young people lead the charge against an alien race who have attacked Earth via our power supply.
My Thought's.
When I first saw the trailer for this film, I was really intrigued not by the premise of the film we have seen movies with alien invaders time and time again. What caught my eye was the fact that the invaders where invisible, that has not been done before and if it has I never saw the film that did this. Going into the film my expectations where not overly high while the aliens intrigued me, the premise of the film did not have me expecting the world. The cast was mostly unknowns except for the character of Sean played by Emile Hirsch who I have seen in a few movies and he was decent/good in all of the roles he played and Rachel Taylor who I have seen in a few films most notably the first transformers movie.the rest of the cast I have never heard of but they all did commendable jobs and played the roles well enough, I will say the Olivia Thirlby who played the character of Natalie overall wasn't horrible in her role, but she suffered from what I call "Megan Fox transformers syndrome" or MFTS for short, What I mean by this is that she kept screaming a certain character's name over and over again in situations that did not call for it, if you do not understand what I mean watch the first two transformers films especially the second one and the watch h this and you will see the similarities, it's not that its bad acting it just get's very annoying and it got to me and took away from the film and made me start to dislike her character the more the film went along. The film overall was Okay nothing special here, I will say that the aliens while a good idea of them being invisible was something new after the first few times of experiencing them it got boring and predictable with how the character handled them in the film, especially after a solution was found with how to deal with the aliens and the idea in itself was kind of cliche. I went into the film under the impression that it was 2D, after looking at movie showings and theaters in my area I was surprised to see that the film was only available to see in 3D, this initially put me off as I had no idea this film was being done in 3D but I finally decided to see it anyway. The 3D was decent nothing spectacular on a level of the likes of "Avatar" or "Piranha 3D" but better than "Shark Night 3D" and "Clash Of The Titans" it had some good scenes that put the 3D to good use, my only problem is that this film just does not feel like a 3D film a film about an alien invasion is not in my opinion a good set up for 3D but that is just me, Lastly the special effects where actually very good. This film was not bad by any stretch and it always depends on what you expect going in to seeing a film if your expectations are to see a decent 3D alien invasion film with a different twist to it with invisible aliens then you will not be disappointed, if you are looking for wold class acting and world class 3D then look elsewhere.
Rating
Decent invasion Movie, decent acting, Good special effects and decent 3D 7.2/10!!! worth seeing.
