5/10
Ignore the puff piece reviews.

Warning: Spoilers
The acting was fair, and the dubbed voices weren't really all that bad. The story wavers between embarrassingly bad ("The ability to love is what makes humans unique in the universe") and cliché - a Bad Guy looking through the toilet stalls, one by one, for the hero trapped in the last stall, the middle-school boy unable to come to grips with the death of his mother (who was remarkably noxious), the parent who starts dating the alien invader... you've seen these scenes too many times already.

Plot absurdities include a scene transition from a bus full of terrified, paralyzed schoolchildren to the nonchalant children being boisterous the next day, and a printout of a photo, taken by cellphone of an alien data-plate. The picture shows a photo of a farm and some students, who have not yet been to the farm - and the number of students shown on the print grows and grows (pictures of alien technology have weird alien powers?).

I've seen far worse, but considering the source, I'd expected far better.
