Best part of story, including ending:
A new and different alien invasion story. The science fiction movie is well directed. I like the picture, because it reveals what to do when it is necessary if an alien invasion occurs.
Best scene in story:
At the conclusion of the movie, when Ben is stuck in a train line and an alien is coming towards him. But Ben is able to move his weapon and destroys it.
Opinion about the main character:
Ben has just been betrayed by his Swedish partner. And even so he provided mercy and delivered him and let him walk with his squad. He also acted bravely and with courage when it's called for.
