    This was a fun movie. Made me jump several times. Good action. Don't over-analyze it - just enjoy it! Stay for the credits......

    this movie reminds me a little of Close Encounters of the third Kind...with a mix of Goonies and Stand by Me. It was good to watch, saw it in 7.1 surround which was amazing. worth the price of admission. 4/5

    I went in with great expectations only to be disappointed with the entire movie. Wait for the DVD. After the movie ended people could care less about the credits and the kids zombie movie, they were all like me wondering why I had wasted my money on a B movie alien movie.

    If you enjoyed CLose Encounters of the Third Kin, ET, Goonies, then you're going to love this movie. If you want wall to wall action with no story, look elsewhere.

    Special Effects do NOT make a great movie. Acting was horrible and story line leaves it hanging. Enough with the invisible aliens already...

    Worst movie I've seen in ages. Bad acting. Ridiculous story line. This movie is for six year olds, not teens or anyone older. Pure disappointment.

    What an excellent movie, it did scared the crap out of me in several unexpected scenes. Really liked the way how the movie built up its atomsphere and attention. Full Price, gotta see it this weekend!
