My go to film if I ever want to feel better
I first watched it on my 9th birthday, really upset because me and my family travelled for hours to go to a theme park only to find it closed due to a bad storm. From the very start of the film, I was cheered right up.

I love Stitch from the very start and I felt like I could relate to Lilo when I was a kid.

The tells you that you can always find people who will love you and you can always break expectations others hold on you. It has a wide variety of characters from the mad scientist, to the secret agent pretending to be a social worker. The animation is smooth and the designs of the characters are great, completely different to other Disney films, which I love. Plus it's about aliens and I am all for that!
Now that I have rambled about it, it's reminded me that I need to rewatch it!

What the What?
I understand that this is a low budget somewhat of a rip off of Transformers, but I have seen similar movies like this and some of them are pretty good. Transmorphers however is not one of them. I think this movie is more of a showcase for modeling off the actors. The women were very attractive in this movie and some of the guys were pretty boys. The plot is aliens in robots trying to take over the world😒. A group if military personnel get together to try and stop them. They enlist the help of a disgraced solider named Warren Mitchell to help stop them. I will say this that it was pretty cool that Mitchell finds out he is an android with human feelings. If this type of movie is your thing, you may like this movie. But as a big sci fi fan, I did not like this movie. Big thumbs down from me

No they didn't, and don't be silly. Hugely derivative British pulp SF movie is unsuccessful in hiding any of its influences and just ends up looking like a random slap-together of bits from Gerry Anderson, Quatermass, Dr Who, The Avengers (the TV show), and much more. Aliens stage a stealthy (and cheap) invasion of England via meteorite, possess the boffins sent to investigate, and cause all sorts of trouble. Imported American boffin Robert Hutton proves immune due to the metal plate in his head and fights back. Michael Gough turns up briefly to chew the scenery as the Master of the Moon.
Almost entirely absurd, but rattles along and never actually gets dull. Performances are mostly lousy with the exception of Bernard Kay, who is actually not bad. Fun can always be had spotting the influences, the props recycled from Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 AD, and the sight of Zia Mohyeddin with an anti-mind control colander on his head. Daft, but fun, and certainly more entertaining than The Terrornauts (but then so is giving yourself a tonsilectomy).

Hmm...

Well I loved this at the beginning. Mia was kick-arse, as were the rest of her team. I was interested in what was going on with the murders and finding out who was behind it...

I also loved the little glimpses we got at the start of Kyrin. He sounded equally seductive and bad-arse--which is a great combination.

I can't say I understood Mia's need to attack him all the time...but I guess she has some anger issues regarding aliens.

The murder plot became less interesting throughout the book as I just wanted to concentrate on the sexual tension between our main characters. There were some pretty steamy scenes between them...but also not enough for my liking.

There was a shock thrown in, which did surprise me.

The thing that stopped this from having four stars was the ending. I can't say I enjoyed it that much. It seemed to resolve itself far too quickly and I can't say I felt Mia's emotions at the time.

"I saw the movie as a teenager and I loved it, but I didn’t know why I loved it. I loved it because it just felt like a gargantuan document about time and the history of time, but I didn’t really understand it. Then I saw it again probably in my mid-20s, and the part that I glommed on most to was – and this was pre-AI, basically pre-Siri; you could imagine me thinking about 2001 in the age of Siri. But then I watched it again probably two years ago, and it absolutely transformed itself, and I started to take different meaning from it. And I realized that, ultimately, what it was saying is that we are the aliens, and that curiosity, mankind’s curiosity, is what actually leads to our own demise in a deep, deep way. That we know something is a problem, yet we want to embrace it. I haven’t ever felt that way while watching a film. It’s such a perfect, beautiful document about the universe."
