Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe countdown audio leading up to Commissioner Igoe's descent (1:10 into the movie) and up to Mulligan's descent (near the end of the movie) is the actual audio from the countdown of the launch of Apollo 11, in 1969.
- GoofsLate in the film, Mulligan hands Gabriel a SIM card from an old cell-phone. Whilst Mulligan is preparing to go down the shaft, Gabriel puts the card into an SD card reader slot, and views videos of his mother's baby shower. A SIM card is not an SD card.
- Quotes
Kermode: [on the resistance] They don't exist
William Mulligan: [snorts] That's what they said about aliens
- Crazy creditsDuring the beginning of the end credits, a map of the world is shown with listed locations where human rebellions have achieved victory against the aliens, across America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Featured review
If you know what you are watching, great movie!
Just skip the negative reviews and bear in mind one thing: do not expect an action sci-fi movie. This is telling the story of people fighting against oppression. The context is just a marketing excuse to make you more attracted. But this story applies to what we have already seen in the past century. It's basically a modernized sci-fi-ed version of a great rebellion some of our grandfathers' took part to.
Just don't watch it waiting for the monsters and the aliens with super hi-tech in independence-day style fights.
Good movie indeed! If you find it boring at the beginning hold-on, the middle gets more animated and the ending is solid.
People who disliked such an interesting approach to fights versus authoritarism deserve Transformers...
