Very good
9/10. It is showing in a documentary style in the beginning and the tension mounts and mounts as the movie goes throughout. The main character is acted brilliantly, by a guy who I've read has never acted before! The situation with the aliens is, of course, a direct analogy to Apartheid and it really tends to convey the point powerfully.
Highly recommend it!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

Just saw it. Decent movie. I agree with Imran about the main character, the guy who plays him does a pretty good job. Loved the documentary-style cinematography, it makes everything "more believable". The movie refers apparently to the district 6 incident that occurred during the Apartheid. But it it only refers to it, as far as I can tell. Not sure there's something more substantial to get out of it. In that regards, its a lot less successful than War of the worlds was in its time. (IMO, they both belong to the same kind of sci-fi pioneered by HG Wells.)Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – Lessing

I agree with Nostromo. I watched the movie, my opinion is this is a good science-fiction action movie, but there is nothing mind blowing about it. The action scenes are very good, the documentary style in the first half of the movie was very enjoyable and sometimes funny. But I think the movie is overrated.
I would rate this movie; 7.5/10 which means: I had a good time at the cinema, but nothing mind blowing.
In my rating systems; 7.5 is above average.bleh

I saw it. Probably the best movie I've seen for a bit. Fresh and fairly original, albeit with a few overdone Hollywood bits.
The fact that those bits stand out is a good thing. The rest of the movie is generally good.
Tonewise, it's a little like Blood Diamond meets Wall-E."lol internet" ~ AAHZ
