I don't know why so many people are writing bad reviews about this movie. I saw the same movie and I thought it was very entertaining all the way through. Wow, I was scared!
The special effects were great! Fantastic. The special effects alone deserve 5-stars.
The main characters were basically just 5 people. I thought their acting was very good. During the movie, the aliens were overhead -- the characters were scared and running for cover --- I was scared and trying to hide under my chair. I don't have any complaints about their acting.
The plot was this --- alien space ships were hovering above. They pointed their blue-light guns down at the ground. People looked at the light, fell into a trance and were sucked up and into the space ships. The aliens sent out smaller, scout crafts to look for people that were hiding. The scout crafts had tentacles just like in the War of the Worlds movie so they could stretch those tentacles around corners, grab people, and stuff their bodies inside the craft.
The military showed up but they were no match for the alien's technology. F-14s and Blackhawks were wiped out immediately.
During all of this, the space ships sucking up bodies, the military shooting at the hoovering alien mother ships, our cast of 5 people are looking out the windows of their Los Angeles high rise apartment, trying to figure out what to do. The movie follows this group of people as they try to figure out what to do, where to go and if they are going to be rescued. Among the group is a couple; earlier in the movie, the girl had just told the guy that she's pregnant. So as the aliens pick off the cast members one by one, this pregnant couple quickly become the focus of the movie.
I was really hoping this couple would survive, however logic told me this would be impossible. Here's how the movie ends. (look away if you don't want to know) The alien mothership shines the blue light down on the couple. They are sucked up, kissing as they float upwards and into the space ship. We see them inside the spaceship, laying amongst a pile of bodies. Alien robots are grabbing the heads off of the lifeless bodies, one by one, and stuffing the brains into freshly manufactured alien robot bodies. With each implanted human brain, the new alien robot would jump up and start working to stuff a human brain into the next robot body creating an army of alien robots. It looked like an alien robot manufacturing assembly line process. We see an alien robot grab the guy's head from our couple, throwing his body into a pool of water, and stuffing his brain into a new alien robot body. This new alien robot now with our guy's brain inside, jumps up and looks around. He sees an alien robot grabbing for his girl friend. He intervenes and the movie closes with her realizing that this robot is her boyfriend and she says his name. [The End]
I would have preferred the movie end with our military shooting down the alien spacecraft and winning. However, that seems highly unlikely because in reality, the aliens had the technology that was necessary to transverse space,time and gravity in order to come to Earth in the first place. We do not have this technology. The movie makes me wonder if something like this could be scheduled for December 21, 2012. The Cassiopaeans speak of similar events in the transcripts from 1994 to 2002. To see what I'm talking about google search The Cassiopaeans transcripts from 1994 to 2002. The information was received by Laura Knight-Jadczyk from extraterrestrials through a ouija board.

Defective Disc
Good movie but blu-ray scratched. 4k disc was good. This seems to be the norm these days. Quality control no longer exists.
