A very good film but not without its flaws.
I don't like how they flit back and to from the use of documentary-style footage. If you're going to go the route of Cloverfield, then do it throughout, and stick to it!
Also, there are pretty much no likable human characters in this. It is actually the aliens that show the most humanity. I suppose that is the point. But it can get very depressing when there is this much pessimism on display. Should we really have so little faith in mankind?
Still, as an action piece, it is quite unrelenting and often surprising. And it has the most emotionally involving cgi character since Gollum. You wouldn't think you could relate so much to something that looks like a giant prawn!
