Storyline:Two brothers embark on a journey with their father, who is trying to protect them from an alien threat.Motion Picture Rating (MPAA)
Rated R for language and some violenceUser review:I didn’t read any reviews for this movie before watching, and I’m glad I didn’t. Although it might not be your classic si-fi, I believe it was marketed like this for a reason to keep you guessing.The acting was brilliant by the boys. Their performances are genuinely one of the most realistic for children I have seen.It clearly isn’t for people who are after a shoot-em-up alien flick (see the 1 star reviews), but much more a commentary on mental health, treatment of ex-soldiers, and the lack of empathy from the general system.This movie is not a no-brainer.
