This was one of the movies i anticipated the most this year, the trailers looked promising, Peter Jackson movies don't usually suck (forget Braindead for a second here) and the premise was promising.

I was hoping for a dystopian "City-of-god"-like epic in the spirit of "Children Of Men", but in the end the film was ruined for me by the totally bad choice of character in persona ex Sharlto Copley.

From here on there be minor spoilers ye matey! One thing that absolutely did'nt work for me was the friendship between the main actor and one of the aliens. This Friendship was based off on.... nothing. Just plain coincidence.

But, however, make up your own mind about this flick

I saw this movie as a preview test screening some while ago in Germany and i left very disappointed. The movie is all about clichés, you have your Turkish prison inmate named "Döner", you have your muscular bad-boy who becomes a good guy just by taking care of a dog, the "I'm so strict" prison-director which has a heart of gold.. etc... blabla... It is described as a mixture of drama and comedy, but you wouldn't know that unless you read the program.

With today's prices for cinema you're better off buying a couple of good DVD's rather than watching this unentertaining piece of cinema. The movie might've worked for me if it were on television, but it's nothing for the big screen.
