> So why would they look like meat to "blend in", a priori, if one of them doesn't even fathom the idea?
replyI'd imagine British spies in WWII sometimes wore swastikas to blend in?
They infiltrating to investigate. It needn't be an endorsement of the practice.
Well, if you think you can do a better job, make it happen. Make the film you want to see.
replyWhy? Surely one can criticize a movie, book, videogame, etc, without being required to create a better one in turn.
replyI didn't hate it, and I always appreciate the charm of low budget productions. I'm just saying this particular adaptation doesn't work for me, and trying to explain why.
One low budget feature-length film about aliens I quite liked (though it obviously has a higher budget, and of course its own set of flaws; and to be clear I'm not arguing both productions are in the same ballpark!) is "The Vast of Night" [1]. I quite liked the actors and the directorial choices.
