REVIEW
Shot as a docudrama we learn from television news clips and the on-air interviews that extraterrestrials have travelled to our planet. Things evolve quickly enough what with crisp editing and rapid fire developments. There’s hardly a pause in the action until midway through.
The CGI effects are remarkable and the acting by Copley first-rate.
The squeamish like me will have to avert their eyes for some scenes. However coming in at almost two hours, it is a tad too long. For that it gets one star lopped off.
CLASSIFICATION
for bloody violence and pervasive language.
