The actors all gave great performances, and the exploration of struggling with faith following tragedy was interesting. But the story itself didn't hold together and a lot of the effort to build suspense was gimmicky. The events at the ending really don't make a lot of sense - very contrived & somewhat anticlimactic. Final note: the air on this planet is FULL of water vapor.

So cheesy and a lot of scenes that could have been cut because they were redundent to the story and all in all didnt make sense. This not one M. Night's best films. Those of you who didn't like it should check out "The Visit" by M night it is much better than this in my opinion

So many plot holes, so little space. Why would a (presumably) intelligent species travel who-knows-how-far to invade a world covered in 3/4ths acid? Invasion called on account of a light drizzle? They can build space ships with cloaking technology, but figuring out a doorknob is beyond them? Just a terrible, terrible movie. All involved should have made public apologies for their lapse in judgement.
