I went into this movie without high expectations, and boy was I surprised! The Host is an excellent movie, and I haven't even read the book! The plot of the movie consists of "peaceful" aliens invading earth and having their "souls" implanted in a human body. Usually the mind of the human who has an alien take over their body will fade away. But Melanie Strider, who is one of the few humans left on Earth, isn't giving up the fight just yet. The story revolves around the adventure, struggles, and danger of having both alien and human within one body.
The Host has sci/fi, action, romance, and even a little humor all blended together perfectly. The story is unique and fast paced. All the actors were amazing, especially Saoirse Ronan , who had me completely convinced that she really did have two people within her. The sets and special effects used in this movie are very well created.
I enjoyed this movie very much (it probably helped that I am within the target audience) and would recommend it to friends.
8/10
