Surprisingly good
5 February 2014
Surprisingly good. The basic premise sounded ridiculous, and a recipe for a mindless B-grade action-only movie. However, it's much better than that.

Plot is actually quite solid. Characters are multi-dimensional, and the humans' background story is developed well, before we meet the Aliens. Director Jon Favreau paces the film well and doesn't go overboard on the action scenes.

Good performances all round from a star-heavy cast: Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde.

Good entertainment.
