I was pleasantly surprised. The overall plot from beginning to end makes sense, and that is the hardest thing to do. Usually movies fall apart either in the middle or in the end.
Usually the little green men from alien invasion movies are against humanity, but in this case although the aliens show their superiority, in the world of our protagonist they use their control to change the course of things for the better. Obviously we do not know what has happened globally but here the alien's mission seems to nicely intertwine with the life events of our protagonist.
The special effects are good and it evokes the classic Twilight Zone/Alien invasion atmopsphere from 1950s movies. Even though the movie did not have a big budget, it must have helped here to do the most with the least; we see just enough about the ufo's and the aliens for what we need. There is no excess in visuality as in War Of The Worlds (2005) or Independence Day (1996).
The acting is good and also fits in this minimalistic style, so you do not miss the fact that there is almost no dialogue whatsoever.
All in all, a very clever and underrated alien movie with a satisfying ending.
