I guess I'm the only one who liked the CNN style news clips to setup the background of the story. I was rather hoping the entire film would be that way! lol
I really enjoyed the Alive in Joburg short movie though so how the movie began is what I was expecting. I was actually somewhat disappointed when it degenerated into a regular movie, movie, once they meet up with Christopher and his son. And why was Witkus the main character and not the alien? eh... I don't need the main guy to be a white English speaker, I can empathize with a bug-man. I liked the social aspects of "What do we do with them/how to integrate them to our world now that they're here?" As far as a sequel, you just knew that would happen, I wasn't shocked by that and rather kind of expected it. These days nobody seems to be capable of telling a story in one movie, book, episode, etc.
The extras disk was great, actually there's extras on both disks. However, there's still some scenes from the official trailers that I never did see in the movie or the extras, maybe it will be in the DVD version of the actual film when I watch that tonight.
