I loved this movie. I saw it in the theater and have ordered it as well. There is great action here, and great effects, but what I love is the script. This could have been an "issue" movie, but the clever script makes you think you are watching an action flick the entire time. I keep asking people if they have seen this movie, and if they have, I start asking questions. Consider these:
1. Were you bothered by the treatment of the aliens / prawns?
2. If you were bothered - why?
3. If your husband or wife started turning into an alien, would you still love him / her, want to live with her, have sex with him, or would that relationship be done? Does a cross species relationship cross a line to you?
4. What responsibility did the people of Johannesburg have to treat the aliens / prawns in a humane manner?
You don't actually have to think about these questions, of course. Just enjoy the film - it has one of the best weapons (introduced by the aliens) I've seen in a while. The military / industrial complex wants to get its hands on it. Weapons for profit - that's an interesting topic, too.
Peter Jackson produced this film, and it has no big stars (except Aliens and weapons). Enjoy.
