It’s mainly from the point of view of the girl and shows how she knows nothing different and that makes it more realistic. The child actors are great especially considering they are mainly first time actors. One of the little boys in the film they found him living at the actual hotel the film is based in. Really good movie 9.2/10

It was a very good movie, kept me glued to the screen the entire time. The acting was good and the SFX was great. I’ve never seen the original aliens so I can’t compare it too that. As a stand alone movie it had a great story line and interesting idea about us as humans. Solid 9/10
