Battleship Pretension

David Bax

Ultimately, the problems with the supporting characters puncture the film a bit too much, tipping it over into inconsequentiality.

A quick, light pace bounces you along, and Extraterrestrial is a fantastic film about what it is to be human, informed by an alien invasion.

This is primarily a comedy and does a wonderful job of creating humor from the characters and the bizarre situation they are in.

Vigalondo goes for a comedy of errors scenario dressed in the exhausted aliens landing in the neighborhood routine. However, when charm is the only gasoline in the engine, patience wears thin in 90 minutes.

Few alien invasion films are this charming, this witty, and this free of aliens.
