Wanted to check this one out too after watching Communion for the first time the other day. This one looks a little slicker and has a pretty cool cast but I find it just doesn't quite all come together completely.

A big part of that is there's not real resolution that can be had from this kind of story. There's been plenty of films that have managed to make satisfying films from stories, true or not, that had not concrete resolution. Here they try to build a story around the friendships of these workers and the relationship with the bosses daughter. For me that's not enough to hang these extraordinary events on and fall flat.

I mean really, I'm just here to see the abduction stuff. The scene comes towards the end via flashback and it was pretty great but was over so soon and then never touched on again. Again, a little disappointing. But this film is more about what happens to the folk left behind with this tale that no one believes. That's fine, but not nearly as interesting to me as that one sequence of abduction.

Still nice to see another one. And with much better looking aliens than in Communion. You can tell where all their budget went.
