The movie takes place in South Africa and it is the story about an alien race that was forced to live on earth as their spaceship would not start. These aliens start to wreck havoc in the nearby villages as they scavenge and steal food. The humans start to get annoyed and start calling them derogatory terms.

Well I won't spoil the movie for you guys. I personally really liked this movies as it was different for the other movies that I have ever watched. It is not your typical alien more as it focuses more on humans and aliens trying to coexist. Some people however said that they did not like the movie as I guess it was because the movie started out slow but picked up quickly after.

You don't have to ruin the movie for me. I already figured out the movie, and I haven't seen the movie yet. It's about ALIENS!!! Duh!! For the past few years, besides obama, what was big in the american news, back then? It was the illegal aliens coming into the country.
back in the day, the movie night of the living dead played on what was going on in society, the racisim. And to me that's what this movie is implying, too. Doesn't matter to me that the movie is set in Africa. To me it applys to America.
and sorry if I offend the fellow mylotters out there. But that's how I see this movie. It doesn't have to only apply to south americans, it can apply to anybody that is coming to a new country to start a new life for themselves. People coming to a new country with hopes and dreams in their hearts, but will the people that are already living there welcome them with open arms?....
I know the difference is that these guys are trying to go home, so that may blow my whole idea about the movie out the water.

Everyone I talked to about this movie has told me is it absolutely amazing. For a low budget movie, I was pretty impressed by the previews. I have still yet to see it.

hiya killer

I just watched the trailer for this movie and I think it's going to be pretty good. I see from a previous response that it's a low budget movie... well the effects look brilliant. Thanks for not giving out spoilers lol, hopefully we can discuss it when I've seen it. thumbup

Alice happy

Hi Alice. I hope that you will enjoy the movie. I was surprised by the special effects as they were very good for a low budget movie.

I like this movie eventhough like you said it started out slow and pick up quickly after that but still it is very good.I hope that there will be a second movie for it.I really want to see Wikus turn to human,and i hope that it would be more than just better from the first one.

Do you still remember at last the prawn promised Wikus he would come back to cure him.
And the movie didn't tell us if Wikus was killed by government. The whereabouts of Wikus was unknown.

The episode carries a foreshadowing of what is to follow later on in the sequel.

Actually I don't like this movie.^_^
I felt uncomfortable when I saw the inspect-like aliens.
