Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Yes, the movie gets bogged down by some show-stopping incomprehensions, some hilarious bloopers and some bouts of overacting (ah, Diane Kruger...), but to be frank, it could've been much worse, and the end result is... enjoyable. The story does not require that much thought if you are in for the laughs, the acting can be decent at times, the music is enjoyable (well, it is the highlight of the movie), and in the end, you have passed a satisfying amount of time watching it. So all in all... OK.

Awful acting, awful design choices and it's not fit to be called science fiction.The Emoji movie was more entertaining than this.Dying would be preferable to watching this septic tank of a film again.

The critics did not treat this film well, however, after re-watching it a couple of times, I will admit, I find it mostly a entertaining and solid effort, with the impeccable impressive Saoirse Ronan headlining the cast. I cannot think of one thing I've seen her in, that Im not impressed by her acting abilities, including this. While not per se, a great movie, it deserves a solid rating. Mildly entertaining romantic sci fi dust-up. Overall? Worth the Watch

You remember the TV show V with aliens invading our earth, taking our bodies and resources while crushing a brave resistance? Well, this is pretty much the same idea here, with the funny idea of Inside out about having much people driving one body ! The other difference is that the movie is rather philosophical and analyses feeling instead of being a hollow action movie with guns fights, car fights, etc… The good thing here is that the cast is excellent : Saoirse has everything for her as she excels in physical stuff and has drama knowledge as well… For one time, Kruger finds the perfect part as the seekers chief because she has indeed a cold, unfunny, strict and not cool personality. However this canyon location and cave settlement is not really enjoyable, all the more than the movie used too much the dreadful orange / blue palette… So it's an original SciFi piece but at the end, just honest and not worthy to be labeled as a Classic !
