Best movie ever!

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Obviously it's not Interstellar. But it is a good comedy drama dealing with issues that are just as relevant today as when V premiered or if you're a '90s kid that other short lived show about aliens coming to the US which I liked as well. It's funny relevant and not filled with deep mind blowing time travel explanations that you have to Google. For example the drug of choice is alien hair that they smoke like marijuana. The main guy is a Jake Gyllenhaal look alike but more likable lol. I just started watching on Hulu 3 episodes in. They only have 5 so I don't think I'm far behind. I hope it isn't canceled. Im happy I found a new funny smart entertaining series to watch.

Poorly done with little effort, bad plot with unimaginative writing the idea had potential but seriously aliens should be wow. 2 episodes in i nearly died of boredom. i was just cringing on the shocking dialogue so unrealistic it like a teenager wrote it. Yet again another alien TV show that failed in expectations.This series seemed to drag out situations for no other reason then to try and build suspense and deliver a very bad attempt at humor at least i hope it was humor and the dramatic scenes leave you scratching your head in this actually has a script or just improv. In my opinion not a movie for any intellectual or even just to pass the time nothing about this grabbed my attention was just sad hopefully better for someone else.

I don't usually write reviews but I felt I had to as this show is incredibly underrated here for completely irrelevant and silly reasons. Someone said it was created by the same people as Misfits? Irrelevant. The apartheid theme is too liberal for your political persuasion? Irrelevant. Too "urban" (seriously, what?) for you? Irrelevant. Not as good as a completely unrelated sci-fi movie with one similar plot point? Also irrelevant.The story lines are compelling, the acting is very good, and the plot is very believable. I have never seen so many ridiculous complaints about a show (and no, I am not a "fanboi").Science fiction isn't just about superheroes and superpowers, at it's core the genre is meant to portray difficult topics (like the immigration/migrant/refugee debate for instance here) in an atypical way that makes you think about them conceptually rather than exactly as they are. Does this show achieve that? Yes, absolutely. We can quibble about whether it does it effectively or not (I think it does) but it seems like some people reviewing this show can't wrap their heads around the fact that that's what sci-fi is often meant to do. It balances that with some humor and cringe comedy, which works here, nothing truly hilarious but decent enough.All in all, it's a decent show with good writing, good acting that shows a lot of promise. It's mind boggling why it would deserve a 5.7 rating (not least of all because it's only 3 episodes in so far!).

I never expected the words "E.T. go home" to be the slogan of anti-immigration protesters but that is basically the concept of E4's new comedy The Aliens. Sounds promising if not entirely original (Alien Nation, District 9, Extant etc) so let's see what we got.Forty odd years before the time this episode is set, aliens came to earth. They look like us, sound like us, behave like us and apparently can breed with us. In fact, the only difference between our species is the "Morks" (clichéd pejorative nickname) have a different hearing spectrum, get high off dishwasher powder and their hair can be smoked by humans as a recreational drug.In the present day these visitors have been ghettoized, face daily persecution and discrimination particularly by law enforcement. Effectively reduced to a vassal race many of them resort to criminal behavior and here the story begins.Basically it revolves around a previously prejudiced border guard who, through some juvenile and predictable escapades, realises he's half alien and becomes more sympathetic to their plight, helped by his love interest in the alien gang leader. Not much else to say really.OK.. (Deep breath before the inevitable "unhelpfuls" start clicking from cast, crew and others unable to live with opinions different from their own) The Aliens is not great. It is the shallowest of social commentary wrapped up in a crude allegory designed to appeal to so-called disenfranchised young people. It is not "comedy" as advertised unless you think people getting hurt or humiliated is funny. I think they call this "dramedy" these days which is basically a concession to weak writing. To sum up; The Aliens is patronizing liberal nonsense which frankly insults the demographic it's aimed at. It's almost as if the Quakers watched Skins and thought "What if we could get our message across to these youngsters in a language they understand".Clichéd morality for the Shameless crowd. E4 should shoot it out the airlock.
