Extraterrestrial

A nice concept and some mostly consistent humor, but just a bit boring.

Mediocre movie with unresolved pretensions, sometimes a funny character is enough to leave the movie behind...Michelle Jenner, hot!

I'm not a huge fan of these genre-bending efforts. I say, if you do humour, do it laugh-out-loud; if you do sci-fi, do it freaky; if you do suspense, make your audience beg for mercy. This postmodern War of the Worlds sitcom fails on all counts. I could root for some of the characters but not the circuitous elliptical journey Vigalondo wants to tread. I'm not sure this director will ever make a film half as good as Timecrimes. I largely regret giving this one a go.

The ending is a bit of a letdown but there were at least two or three funny scenes in this atypical genre movie.
