An Interesting and Unique International Film
I went into this film not sure what to expect and boy I was not disappointed. The story was original, the aliens were unique, and it was set in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is very refreshing to see such a good international film, as I have not had much luck with them in my time. Simply brilliant film, highly recommend!

The wildly wacky novel that features Thursdays you can't get the handle of and teaches the importance of towels. The plot involves aliens and the last human's journey after Earth is destroyed. If you haven't read it yet, you are in for a treat.

Horrible movie but entertaining with friends
This was a horrible movie but entertaining since I watched it with friends.

Released 6 years after ET, which is comparable. Yet the CGI was worse and the costumes were horrible. I don't understand the plot exactly and the ending was just weird and bad.

The characters were not likeable, the acting was terrible. So much product placement from McDonald's and coca cola. We laughed at the aliens but they were just annoying.

Not sure if this was self aware about how bad it is but that's what it is. Bad. Don't even ask about that ending. I am as confused as anyone.

***Spoiler alert*** chased by government which soon goes away and suddenly the aliens are granted us citizenship with noone questioning anything. Oh and the daddy alien is wearing a suit.....yeah this movie was weird ***end spoiler***

 I would still say give it a watch but watch it with friends so you can laugh at it. This is like the lower budget ET except no emotion osr redeeming qualities. The characters reactions to the aliens were too calm and rational and I have no idea of the point of the government chasing them. Didn't build to anything.

The lesson I came away with was that coca cola seems to solve everything.
