Nice effects though.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This could contain a spoiler. But I don't see how I could spoil this for anyone. Looking at this movie trying to figure out what the audience is and I believe it is "preteens" and girls at that who are trying to FIND their place in the world. From that perspective it might be a higher rated movie. The acting is okay for a bunch of rugrat but the story line was terrible. Apparently they did not have a huge budget, and the storyline around "The Thing or The game" until they kinda told you what "The Thing" could do was just terrible. And they never show "The Thing" to you so it made it just a tease. Thumbs up the the Faron actress for trying to keep this thing together.

Faron Hallowell (Courtney Halverson) is about to be released from a mental institution. It seems that when she was 11 she shot a weatherman (the T.V. type, not political) and nearly killed him. Watching the film we find that she was under the impression that she was fulfilling a part of guardian assistance is subduing rowdy aliens. Of course we all know that is impossible. Now all she wants to do is pursue a normal life and put all that behind her.It appears that the past will not stay the past; the most innocuous actions on the part of kids and authorities are weaving a pattern that we as observers cannot keep up with even with a bevy of clues.I kept looking around corners and just waiting for "teenagers from space." Of course there is always the possibility that it is just freaky Faron. The film ends way too soon and the results cause us us to do a little or our own Introspection.

I cannot agree with previous reviewers of this image. This is definitely not a brilliant movie, however it wasn't that bad. It's not also good enough to give it 8 stars (in my opinion only). Some people gave it only one star :/ I have no idea why... The screenplay had lot of possibilities some of them were wasted some were not. Main character was really nicely played. It wasn't an Oscar creation but still was quite good. The best thing was the mood of this movie, a little bit in Donnie Darko style. It was dark, static and strange (however i must say Donnie Darko was much better). Most important thing is that it's not a movie for everyone. I mean if you are a sf fan with desire to see spectacular CG effects you will be disappointed. There are no CG effects at all...well there are no special effects too (even standard camera tricks). The movie itself could be a little bit longer and maybe (just maybe) it could have a different ending. After last scene I got the feeling that CD1 ended an i'm waiting for CD2 to start :) Anyway the ending was supposed to tell us something (unfortunately i missed it). However I can understand the creators, after all the ending wasn't that senseless. This is a kind of budget movie so beware of huge Avatar like expectations. I recommend this movie to all fans of more independent type of pictures. I really enjoyed it. I'm also pretty sure that with more money (Hollywood amounts), little review of script (different ending and some more background plot lines) huge dose of hype (see Twilight Saga ;), better camera work (see Black Howk Down ;)and really famous director (doesn't matter which one) it would be a real blockbuster.

Not sure how this movie is at a 7.5/10 at the moment. My guess is all 11 voters have worked on the project.And the first person to comment on this movie is talking about a Horror movie. Well, there is nothing horror about it - besides the camera work and acting that is.It's basically a Thriller, with some small sci-fi elements (in the story, not special effects).The beginning is fine, and opens a lot of possibilities for a good movie, but it never gets better, only worse.Avoid this movie when you can.
