Really don't understand all the haters on here. I have used the analogy before, but it is down to the Squid Game Mentality. No one gets slaughtered in the first 10 minutes so it's boring. Back story, character building, and a plot? Heaven forbid! Was a fan of the book, and all of John Wyndham's work. Village of the Damned, a previous adaptation of this story from the 60's was one of the first movies I vividly remember. Still a great movie, albeit a little dated. Which is one of the reasons I love this so much. It drags the story into the 21st century, while keeping the heart and essence of the original intact, which is no mean feat.
