I do think their marketing campaign is quite clever with those cardboard cut-outs in the cinemas saying aliens not allowed, this cinema is for humans only....It does attract the eye....

I haven't seen these yet superhero. I'll look more closely when I next go to the cinema. Maybe I thought it was another member of staff. :D

Has anyone else noticed these cardboard cut-outs around the regions?

saw this on tuesday - really enjoyed it and found it quite difficult watching at times......I hope there is no sequel - think things finished on a sober, sensible note and feel any sequel could spoil things.

Agree with many other postings on here - the cgi effectively backed up the story, instead of things being the other way round - as usual.

8/10 from me

lol - I guess what I meant was the ending was suitably bleak......I hate films that wrap things up and have a 'happily ever after' ending.......ok - maybe sensible was not the word I should have chosen......
