Once again, a movie I like that I wouldn't necessarily recommend.. It's tolerable, not great, but if you have a soft spot for cheesy sci-fi flicks, there's a chance you might enjoy it. One of those movies I started watching and didn't really care if it was actually gonna be any good. It has some low-budget, B-rated qualities that could have been improved with a larger production scale, especially the voice-over elements. The chemistry between Melanie and Jared sucked to me, the whole movie feeling very much like something out of a YA novel. However, I did like the depiction of the alien parasite and the overall premise. The aliens traveling the universe, conquering civilizations and seeking peace. Additionally, I'm a sucker for movies that blend different genres and incorporate a love story, like this one-a cheesy Disney teen rom-com amidst an alien invasion. Plus, I think Saoirse Ronan's great as well.
Also, for some reason, I was so convinced that by the end, they would implant the alien into Ian so they could be together happily ever forever. It seemed like the perfect, logical resolution to the story in my mind lol. I was so blown away.
