Ok, went and saw it on Friday afternoon.

It was very very raw and probably one of the most realistic looking SciFi movies I have ever seen.

DO NOT take kids to this movie. It hits you below the belt. I shows humanity at its' worst and best.

The CG aliens were very cool.

Tell me what you thought.

I want to see it, but I don't go to the theaters for many. It's cheaper and more pleasant to watch movies at home without the sniffles, crunching, rustling, blabbing, etc.

I heard they got carried away with the shaky cam effect.

I'd kind of like to see it.

I HATE that.

The writer or director is from S. Africa. They have some fairly recent experience with segregation, etc. which is obviously one theme.

Trust me guys...the shaky cam effect came NO WHERE close to other movies. It was minimal to me and I am sensitive to it.
