Strange but very interesting sci-fi with Scarlett Johansson

Alberto, how about 'Saving Private Ryan', 'Heat'...?

Man, Scarlett really had to strip down to her birthday suit to prop this one up. I mean I get the point, humanity is complex, weak, lonely, gullible, fragile, good and evil as was demonstrated in the movie and I also get the whole extraterrestrial curiosity of what it's like to be among the humans, to exploit them and lure them to their demise for the ET's sake of exploration of this planet. But... I still didn't care for it, it's not a great Sci-Fi flick per say, the "plot glue" just doesn't hold this one together and the whole "artsy-fartsy", "semi-erotic" approach also doesn't work very well. I want my money back on this one! I don't care that Scarlett shows off her body, I still want my money back.

Creepy Sci Fi , horror and comedy all rolled together into one and highly entertaining with an original Science fiction plot never done before.
We are not huge Sci Fi fans , we try to keep up and pick the best of the bunch and pass on the crap.
we just about to switch channels when it started however we got sucked into the movie the first 15 minutes and there after the movie got even more interesting
my wife was really creeped out with this one and I roared laughing at some of the scenes that were suppose to be comical in the movie.
It came out sometime ago and maybe you have seen it, if you haven't You Have a To Watch It,
.It has to be a cult classic of some kind, .....,,,,," I need the keys"

I cannot bother with a movie that is based on the unacceptable old canard that we use only 10% of our brains.

Wrong movie. "Lucy" is the movie about brain capacity, this is a different movie.

Well, I guess I used very little of mine in this instance. As that famous intellectual, Emily Litella, says, "Never mind."

My comment wasn't directed at you, just a general observation.

I will watch it this weekend and provide the definitive answer as to whether this is, or is not, a good movie.
