We saw the movie over the weekend and enjoyed it. I admit that I was reluctant to see another Sci-Fi because of the TREMENDOUS disappointment of Skyline but I'm glad I took the chance. It's a good modern day Sci-Fi flick. The trailers made it seems as though there would be a search for the "others" of his kind and ending in a big battle but disappointingly, no. There is a nice story otherwise and it runs smoothly. I never found myself feeling bored or thinking "just get on with it".
I would have had an EXTRA awesome night had the patrons sitting in front of us not brought in there 6 kid deep family. They kept talking, texting and the mother popped open a 16oz beer! You have to love when trashy folks join the rest of the world on the night you and your significant other are on a long awaited date!
Thanks for the tip. We were disappointed with Skyline also. I just thought it was a fluke. Maybe they were trying to beat Battle LA to the punch, since it looks pretty similar. This seems to happen a lot. (Mission to Mar/Red Planet, Bug's Life/Ants, The two Volcano movies, the 2 Magician movies, etc, etc. (Hey this is a really cool background, BTW!)
