Audience Member This film is one of the funniest films I've seen in years. Being set in England and featuring the lower class of English society, reminded me of when I watched the cornetto trilogy for the first time. It wasn't made to rival films like planet of the apes or transformers, in fact I don't think it had the budget to even attempt it. All in all, I believe that is a great film, with a big nostalgia factor. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Tidder g This movie is awful. Glorifying the most awful people Is it just mostly Americans who like this movie thinking it's charming? Live in a poor area of Britain. People like this are the scum of the area not the heroes Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Peter F Decently entertaining while watching, but ultimately rather empty, with very little to say; accordingly ultimately weightless. The point of it is probably that disprivileged teens living a criminal life find a purpose when aliens attack their city and show that they can be useful members of society - and even sacrifice themselves; earning the respect they never dared dream of. Not very original and it's implemented in a superficial and loveless way, begging the question if that was the actual message the makers wanted to send with this movie (unlikely), or they saw it as a necessary evil because every movie has to have some character development & stuff. Anyway: verdict is: watchable but forgetable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Tamara K I probably would have cheered for the kids but they were such nasty criminals I kept hoping the aliens would eat them. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Chris H I've seen this film twice now; the first time, the nasty little thugs (as I perceived them) really irritated me and I didn't like it. The second time, very recently, I took a different stance. The film tries to portray these kids as rejected by society and uses this to excuse or explain their early actions (they still rob a nurse at knife point though) and, of course, they come good in the end. If you can just take this at face value, this is an interesting story, well told and well acted. The aliens are incidental to the human story but are convincing and the film has some nasty moments. Definitely worth a watch, but the way the young hoodlums speak (in Multicultural London English) I can't imagine anyone outside the UK understanding them. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review KB B It was ok but I'd probably never want to watch it again. 91%...Hmmmm Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
