Hey Henners
I also went to see this movie and enjoyed.
Spoiler notice!!
Do you remember the bit where the tall blonds take on their true form? It is VERY similar to that keanu film the day the earth stood still. Same story also, they come, cherry pick from the species and remove them to carry on elsewhere. The rest are left to die.
The difference about this film however, is the way the earth is destroyed. Not by an outside alien force/decision. It is our own sun. It was just our time. Nik Cage and his family however, expressed the belief, the knowing that it wasnt the end.
