"Racial Tension With Prawns"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Loved this movie. It's definitely a boy movie – not a lot of romance or intriguing interplay or sexual tension. The story is a good parable of the racial conflict within SA, but with a science fiction twist.

The special effects are for the most part excellent, especially towards the end, but the real stand out for me is the sound stage. Man. They got some good dudes do do the sound effects, and this movie will reward any investment in home theatre you've made.

"You must have this in your collection of sci-fi blurays movies"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I saw this in the cinema and loved it. The bluray version is better with extras, gorgeous resolution and full sound. Get it.

"Gritty, mockumentary of alien integration."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

1st contact was not as expected and interspecies relations are of intolerance and misunderstanding as a stricken alien species arrives in Johannesburg. Not your average SciFi, but an insight to human behaviour at its cruellest worst.

"Very good action movie"

Greta visuals and acting
