Its a really bad movie. Bad acting, bad movie sets, bad story. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was cool cars and nice houses. A good movie to have on in the background while you play on your phone. 4/10.

It seemed pretty obvious that his daughter was partially or fully extra-terrestrial, but the disjoint attempts to misdirect one's thinking were just confusing plot hole contrivances, rather than having actual, intriguing plot deviations which ALL of which might come together at the end. SFX were fair. (A little too much horizontal filter on night lighted scenes)

Despite the occasional glowing 8-10 star reviews, believe the negative reviews. This movie is pure tripe. It's very obviously not based on a true story-- it's as fanciful as they come. This is basic alien abduction with quite a bit of fictional nonsense thrown in for good measure. While it maintains an air of mystery 2/3 of the way through (making one think it might wind up being a good movie), the last third is a nonsensical, ridiculous premise that one would have to be uber-gullible to believe. The explanation is convoluted, absurd, and ties nothing together. In short, this is simply a poorly-made movie that relies on a claim of being a true story-- and Denise Richards-- to carry the film. This lacks all the elements of a well-made film. I don't often give a film 2 stars unless it's really bad, but this didn't deserve 3. Alien UFO abduction / whatever cow plop.

Is the fact that this movie is based on a true story lost on everyone? That fact alone increases ratings and reviews. Please do some research if you're not a believer. Get the views up so that more people will watch. We're almost at disclosure from our government, it's going to take a little more. LET"S WAKE PEOPLE UUUUP!

The best part of this story is the written prologue, after that, argh. Performance-wise: Foster is flat. Couture shouldn't have speaking parts and needs to learn how to movie fight (yeah, I can't believe I'm saying this either) Richards needs to lay-off Botox; it distracts like Number Three's mole in Goldmember. FX is substandard at best. Aspects of scenes don't make sense, example, Fell (Foster) is in the hospital with broken ribs and a severe concussion followed by Agent Bowie (Couture) bashing Fell in the back of the head w/o further injury despite being knocked-out...again. The thing that bothers me most about 'based on true stories' is that inevitably there's real people hoping their story gets told and then it's told so poorly that the subject matter is set-back several more decades.

I like most films about aliens, and thought i'd check this out, which i normally wouldn't based o the dire review score of 3.6, but i have 2 say it was ok to decent, certainly not 3.6. It was worth a watch which with so many dire terrible pointless movies around, is actually a recommendation, as i give most films about 20 minutes to get me interested,or there off. it deserves a 5 and many sci fi folk may quite like it.
