Simple review...

- Corny story that has a few good moments plot wise
- Some "neat" effects that I was pleased with
- A number of great "shock" moments that had the theater where I saw it buzzing

Overall : 7/10

EDIT : If you have a date that is a "jumper" at shock parts, it's a good flick for that

Somebody spoil the movie for me. I'm curious, but I'm not going to bother spending money on it.

Putting an Xfiles comment under your spoilers kinda defeats the purpose since Xfiles was all about aliens anyway ;P

In the end, I liked the movie for what it was...especially for those scenes I mentioned.

Spoiler

- The Car crash scene made everyone chatter for like 30 seconds afterwards
- The cop scene made everyone jump about 2ft out of their seats
- A couple of other jump scenes made it worth the $6.50 I paid to see it

I can't believe the NSA had so much trouble catching them though. And was that main alien guy creepy or what? What other movies has he been in cuz he looks familiar.

I thought the movie was pretty good. Had a couple of shock moments, and Julianne Moore's performance was well acted.

No, it was about:

Higher order beings conducted this experiment in order to understand the strong bond/attachment a mother can have with her son.
