Who are the real monsters in the movie?


Not one actual monster in the film harmed anyone. Meanwhile, humans were killing humans for no apparent reason.

Think that was kinda the point - not unlike Darabonts 'The Mist' - 'human monsters'

For most of this dire film it seemed more like typical American anti-middle eastern propaganda...

Anti-Middle Eastern? I don't really see it. If anything it's (Rightfully) critical of Americans invading countries without even understanding why.

I got a weird anti middle eastern vibe within the first five minute... which is why I'm on this board seeing if anybody else felt similar. Can't go off 5 mins though so I'll have to finish the film. Are there many alien all out battles or is this movie gay?

The Arabs who do not understand that we have a common enemy.

What enemy would that be in the movie? The aliens never just straight up attack anyone without provocation.

I like how as a German you are advocating separating groups into camps... real original... should they concentrate on being better too while in the camps?

reply

With signs that says "Arbeit macht frei" ? Uh, wait… Already done.

reply

of course, they are not called concentration camps for nothing

The monsters are the victims here, they've been "kidnapped" and brought to a foreign planet by force.
