I can admit that I went into this movie thinking I would dislike it -- By looking over these user comments, how could I not? However, I was actually surprised as I found myself enjoying the slow paced suspense and the beautiful atmosphere.
I am definitely not a big sci-fi fan, so perhaps that influences my opinion. I can look back at my thoughts of many "sci-fi" flicks, and I know I tend to enjoy the more atmospheric, narrative pictures better than the in-your-face special effects blockbusters.
I disagree with many of the other people here who left comments, because I feel this movie is definitely worth viewing. However, if you are looking for a lot of explosions and fancy alien makeup and special effects, look somewhere else.
The only thing I can really say I wanted more from was the ending. Not only did it leave a terrible taste in my mouth, it also left me confused and a bit unsatisfied. The plans of these other-worldly creatures were never explained to us. Sequel, perhaps?
