So lame acting. And the kids are so annoying. I literally felt like crushing that soft toy "Herman" myself.

The movie seemed decent but there's no reason the kids in this movie so dumb. They were so terribly annoying.

My god, why are so many movies crap these days?
Plot holes all over the place, a twist you could see coming from miles off. The acting was weak and the direction was awful. Just a waste of time completely, save the time and watch something else.

From bad acting to lighting to script to production values. This is a hot mess of regret for all involved. You can see the half hearted acting by the two most recognized of the cast give away their discomfort to be involved in this B grade mess.
Beyond terrible.
Even the aliens are simply guys in wetsuits.

The youngest daughters constant crying and whining single-handedly ruined it for me.
Also, not much acting from anyone. I wanted this to be good, I love sci-fi.
But I can't even write a deeper, or smarter review, not much to review. I didn't like the movie. Period.

War of the Worlds had a screaming kid in it and that done my head in as well. This however has TWO of them and it's pathetic..what was the director doing, throwing stones at the kids and yelling " cry you little gits" ? These brats spoil the film and make it a chore to watch and the Aliens are among the dumbest I've ever seen on screen.
Ridiculous and some really dreadful acting to boot.

Worthless loud screaming children every second of the movie. Terrible progression of film and plot.

The plot is just so predictible,the children are annoying and god why pena is so pathetic?He is not into the character acting like a second or third category actor
The real villains are...those kids. Oh my god. Why do they write so terrible child characters? They are so stupid, always whining, screaming and do exactly opposite of what they're told. One minute they're frozen from fear. the next they run around like wild goose when they're told to be silent and still. gee. i have never rooted so hard for the "alien" to kill the main characters before. Watch it if you want to be annoyed and you hate kids.

This movie is so bad, so boring, it makes Bright look brilliant and Iron Fist exciting. What a waste of talented actors, money and (my) time. Yes, the twist is unexpected and okay, but really, any Black Mirror episode could have done this a 1000 times better. Hard to believe this was written by the guy who wrote Arrival. Poor Michael Peña and poor Lizet Caplan.

Waaaaay too much screaming kids which made the movie almost unwatchable. Zero stars for editing.
It feels like Netflix is so desperate for programming that they will greenlight anything. This movie has the most annoying children ever. They cry and whine and deliver pointless lines throughout. I was seriously rooting for the aliens to kill them.

Interesting premise, boring execution. Sadly. Not that nuanced as could be. And those constant crying kids needed to perish, my goodness, the irritation. Which was an example of the typical derivative, may I say American, script. Slowmo emo moments with that standard music, family values pushed everywhere, and the ending...
The best part was the length, nice and short.
From what I can see Netflix is beginning to run out of ideas on the type of contents to put out to its viewers. This movie is a total shame and a disgrace on the part of Netflix.
Fell asleep 3 times trying to get through this movie over two nights. Never finished it. Another rubbish Netflix sci-fi attempt.. the idiot characters may as well have been developed by Eli Roth, stupid decisions all the way. Boring, dull, unconvincing.

I found the movie very slow and quite boring. I like Michael Cena in some of the mainstream
Movies, but he just wasn't entertaining.
