- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of fans of close encounters and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. A good follow-up to The Thing from Another World or The Day the Earth Stood Still.

- The pace
- Fast-moving, at 1 hr 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
