I also began watching this thinking that it would be a lot of CGI with aliens and crowds rushing and stampeding. Not so as many have pointed out. And that can be disappointing if you’re looking forward to that kind of entertainment. Here’s the thing,...the stories and the characters are so good it is impossible not to become heavily involved with them. The drama,the acting and the execution are compellingly good. And while aliens are not popping onto the screen like we might be used to,they are there. Every focus,there are five,is a story of intensely heightened emotions,peaked and raw. In England a group of children are stranded because their bus ran into an extremely deep massive hole. Nobody knows what is happening or why and there is a bully,threatening,trying to control. An American soldier in Afghanistan is suddenly alone,his men MIA after an strange explosion, and some creature seems to be lurking in the desert. In America a muslin family with serious a martial crisis is evacuated from their town,something awful has happened,a terrorist attack? Likely. In Japan an astronaut leaves for the International Space Station right in the path of whatever is going on. Her other half is the genius in the space program who is having to battle with those in control over what she knows has happened. Within the horror of an invasion we discover the inter sanctum of the characters and at least one has something peculiar,strange,otherworldly going on. It is tense,moving,suspenseful and raw. It is a top notch drama within a horror,sci fi kinda thing and it’s focus is not on the aliens,until it is...
