This kind of contain spoilers so be careful...
The movie was not bad, but I really expected more. At the begining I wasn't very exited but my expectations started to build as I saw more of the trailers and noticed who was involved in this movie. It offers a fresh approach on the alien theme, giving it a more relatable perspective (making it seem as part of us and not just a monster with the intention of scaring us) and, as I've heard, giving a twist to the Superman plot. I liked the idea, but I think it wasn't executed quite well. First of all, I didn't make a good connection with the characters as to matter whatever happened to them, yes, they try to connect with us through the idea of the "parents" not being able to have a baby and then receiving it, but it wasn't really that explored. Also, Brandon, I think there is a big issue with him, he just suddenly seems to be a different person, one moment he is a little scary boy bullied at school, the next one he is already the manipulator monster we see till the end of the movie, they try to justify this with that ship thing talking to him (kind of weird it waited twelve years to start giving him messages) but it doesn't make sense this can just turn him into wanting to "take the world" in some nights compared to the whole life his parents had been trying to teach him good morals (it can be seen during the movie they were actually good parents). At the end, he was completely unbeatable, there wasn't a single moment I was shocked or worried of what was going to happen, I knew he wouldn't get hurt or in danger since he is completely immune to anything and he was too intelligent to even be harmed for his only weakness. I also knew anybody was going to die, this child had no feelings apparently (except for hate) so nothing could stop him from killing anything getting in his way. At the end there IS a scene that can make me wonder what could have happened, but we already know how the movie actually ended so...
