I've this one ages ago and have attempted to write something about it several times already, but it's one of those movies for which I feel my words are not worthy.
I can't really express how brilliant it is.
So I'll make it short:
This is one of the best piece of SciFi committed on celluloid since, probably Spielberg's War Of The Worlds (which I loved).
The documentary style is an excellent idea and feels fresh.
The special effects are mind blowing (the aliens are just there, which is pretty important given the documentary style).
The main actor is incredible (I can't believe he's not a professionnal).
And the social subtext is amazingly relevant and well implemented.
I'm running out of superlatives so I'll conclude that, when considering that this is Neil Blomkampf's 1st feature and that it was produced on just around $30M (10 times less than Tranformers 2, when the action is if not better at least as good), it just becomes an achievement of heroic proportions!
Following up on that might be difficult for the director...
