I don't see why the previous posters were expecting the movie to tie up his redemption at the end in a little bow.<br /><br />Life is far from that simple and would have simply been unrealistic. <br />I think Joe Cornish did well with a strong debut movie.

The premise is sound, but I think would of worked much better with a more likeable/decent set of characters. The combination of slang and young punk attitude and bravado, pulled drown the promising elements of original indie Creature Feature SciFi/Horror. Jodie Whittaker's role wasn't enough to buoy the film up for me. Sadly.

I really wish she'd let the cops cart Moses off in the end then he would have gone through a redemption arc for sure.

It really does channel early Spielberg - ET. Gremlins, The Goonies. Other movies that came to mind were The Warriors, Escape From New York, and Do The Right Thing.

The aliens were cool looking & different from normal fare. The plot was well paced & structure as well as story was top notch. Definitely a recommendation to sci-fi fans for something a bit different but fun.JRATM23https://www.blogger.com/profile/02967129545919852206noreply@blogger.com
