I honestly stumbled across this film by accident and took some time to actually watch it. I'm glad I did. This is one the best movies that I've seen in a while. Although the movie is a throwback to the days of alien invasions, a very original story inhabited by a wide variety of characters has formed in a way that almost defies a simple explanation.
The delivers a perfect movie experience through a blend of things we like to see in these kind of movies without reaching the cliché point. Through a brilliant display of screen writing, we can hate the characters at one point and then be amused by their actions and dialog or feel sympathy when they get eaten by creatures during another point. I usually enjoy creature features as long as the creatures themselves are fit to deliver, the aliens are no exception. The simple design of the aliens is just brilliant and although I don't mind a through explanation I like how the movie gives us just enough information to let us know what is going on and leaves the unimportant details up to us.
Overall, a very well-done film from the UK. To me it's refreshing to see a British film that isn't a comedy or a zombie horror film. It's a nice alternative for sci-fi fans or anyone looking for a good movie. Do yourself a favor and watch this film. Now.
