When i saw the poster of this movie two years ago,i was confused what kind of movie it is.I did not do any search ,just downloaded the movie and watched it but did not write review. After watching it yesterday with my brother,i felt to write a review for the movie which is so great and probably the best alien invasion movie. This piece of work blow your mind.The plot is original,the special effects are top-notch and the heart wrenching performance by Sharlto Copley. Some people say that the violence and profanity is overdone but i think it is just accurate and necessary for the movie. The gut-wrenching scenes involving prawns are fabulous. I loved the documentary-hand held camera style by Neill Blomkamp and his entire work. He is such a talented filmmaker. On the other hand it is no less than a thriller,it gives you chills. The scenes where they torture Wikus seems so realistic and cruel. Also it has a emotional side,when a mild-mannered and a good man faces these kind of things and misses his loving wife. Exhilarating sound editing , eye popping visuals and great assembled cast make this movie outstanding.
