Touches You

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Its beyond my understanding how this film have a 3.9 rating. We live in a strange world,indeed. Dont be fooled by this rating, the movie is absolutely great. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. I mean, really.

As aliens have taken over the world (if you see any) a young soldier in asked to be a hero and save us from these non seeing creatures. This German-made English langueges Alien movie is a mess from the beginning.

Well acted, filmed and designed, this film has all the things it needs except one - a good script. The cheapest stage of any film is the script writing, because it takes place independently of all the others and only requires one person and a $300 laptop. That is the stage when the writer should have decided to work out for himself and then tell the audience the answers to questions like:Why can't we kill giant crabs with tanks, drones and aerial gunships?How did they travel through space to get here apparently naked?Why does no-one have any drone footage of them? Who decided to call them The Nonesuch and why?If they are real why are some survivors more scared of the army?If V.A.X. 7 didn't kill himself why is there that blood stain on the wall?When S.U.M. 1 saw V.A.X. 7 in the shadows he must have actually been there because he was recorded on video, which must mean that he'd broken into a maximum security military bunker without being caught by any of the cameras and then escaped again before the lights came back on, which is daft.What were the toxic emissions, human or Nonesuch, and why didn't they kill S.U.M. 1?Why call someone "S.U.M. 1" unless you want them to doubt their own sanity?

Even though I'm German, I rarely watch German movies. We're semi- successful with comedy, slice of life, or crime, but any other genre is usually painfully bad. This movie confirms this theory.The movie features a young soldier - unoriginally named Sum1 - who is stationed in a tower in the middle of nowhere to guard the new built frontier between civilization and no man's land. There are evil things roaming around and the survivors have found refuge in bunkers underground. No one has ever seen those monsters, or at least lived to tell the tale. Neither protagonist nor viewer is sure they even exist, however, the viewer is thrown into this dystopian world without any context, so all of this means nothing to them. Sum1 can't compete with any Hollywood productions and it's very obvious. It's not the outdated CGI or plump dialogue, it's not even the acting. (In fact Iwan Rheon's acting might even be a little too good for this script so he just comes of as overtly intense.) It's the fact that this plot could have escaped the pen of any first year Film student, it's bland and predictable, tries to be original but fails completely. We at least get a few good shots of Iwan Rheon's butt, which is only a small comfort in the long run.
