The Positive: Visually refreshing since the setting of this alien-invasion-disaster-movie is not LA, New York, Tokyo or London (for a change). If you love the genre in general, you will definitely enjoy this film.

The Negative: The characters are a little lame like the invisible aliens who are after them.
