Saying this movie is good would be an understatement. The movie has it
all, a very intriguing deep plot, good acting and great action. If I
was to find a flaw in this movie, it would be the shaky cam technique
employed at the beginning part of the movie and also at the very end.
The shaky parts are supposedly documentary clips telling the story of
Wikus, the protagonist. But rather than add to the feel of it, the
shakiness is just nauseating. They just over did it. But after a while
into the movie, they got out of the documentary mode and things
couldn't be any better. And the special effects in his movie will have
you believing that these aliens are real.

It's better that you go into this movie not knowing the deeper plot as
a big part of the movie's entertainment value for me is the parts when
things look hopeless and you really feel the despair and hopelessness
of the characters. The only thing you need to know going in is that
there are aliens stranded on earth and they are put in slums.

This is one of those movies that teases you that it's nearing its end,
but inside, you go "No, I want more. It can't end like this", and the
movie hears you and gives you more. And it's primed for a great sequel.
The potential that this franchise has is just enormous. The way they
can expand the story is just limitless and all of them can add to it's
lore. This is a classic franchise in the making.
