This one is really fun daft science fiction, sort of between the first Men in Black and The Fifth Element, only perhaps a little better. I’m not sure I can say anything really sensible to recommend it, but it’s definitely well worth seeing.

Technically it is not bad—there where many moments when I forgot that the most unlikely things were probably not real—or at least, that is true in cinematographic respects. As regards science fiction, well, it seems that aliens differ from you and me just in having more variety in skin colour, so there’s not much point in trying to philosophise about that. Perhaps it speaks all the better for the fun factor that I didn’t even mind that this wasn’t given any thought.

Ah, and I think I have a new favourite walking treeoid.
